FiCX; Week 1, Day 5, awesome & intense upper body workout!!! Legs were still good tight & whiney this AM so the warm up was upright biking. I had planned on hitting that WICKED Cybex Arc Trainer for all of my warm ups, trying to build up to where I can tackle that mean beast come full on cardio days, BUT the legs just weren’t quite back ready to handle it from Wednesday’s BEAT DOWN & yesterday’s cardio so this AM, biking it was!
I LOVE the upright bikes as WAY back when, in high school (pictured below immediately after my favorite 100 miler, note the left ankle pant leg chain protector LOL) I pedaled all over north central Indiana, covering 1,200 miles during my summer vacation between 10th & 11th grade for example.
I also love biking since it’s basically zero impact on the knees but so is the Arc Trainer so that excuse no longer washes LOL! The evil ellipticals are also zero impact but are @ZZ kickers as their short little stride just makes me crazy but I’m slowly adapting as I know variety is critical in not burning out!!!
Speaking of burning out, this AM’s UBWO was an INTENSE burn!!! Tried sneaking up a notch on all the weights & managed a couple new PRs & brought a real BURN! I swear, my fingernails were even throbbing & I was honestly STILL sweating over an hour after my post grind shower!!! Absolutely loving the program & can’t wait to tear into week two, right after day 6’S long haul cardio of course!!!
Normally I put in a good chunk of hours at the side job on the weekend so prolly won’t be chiming in much again until Monday so here’s wishing y’all an INTENSELY awesome weekend! Rock on pals & keep it grinding!!!
yeehaw!! so proud of you baby! getting it done!
