week 2, day 2.
yoga last week was great. i didn't get half way through it, the whole stretch-and-burn deal is just as awful as rip-and-burn, but when i woke up the following morning all the pain was gone. looking forward to that again.
getting started is defintely the worst part, i still wake up sore, but with the first week behind me my body is almost comfortable being drenched in lactic acid. switched out plyometrics for a basic cardio routine today, and i got to the very end before my body stopped (maybe 30 seconds left) instead of only half way through it. not so intense, but still pushes me enough to make it worth the time. if i keep improving this fast i may go back to plyo next week. biking in the morning and afternoon seems to be giving me an advantage.
i exercise in the basement and it's colder than the rest of the house, but i'm still sweating all over. must be awful for people who do it above ground level. i'll have to do something about that concrete floor, though. makes the ab routine unbearable.
taking 100grams of protine per day. it should be 250g but i dont have the money for it. 500mg of glucosamine and 500mg of methylsulfonylmethane a day for joint relief, 1000/1000mg on days with high-impact routines. i don't have bad joints, but i don't intend to collect injuries either.
