Are you sore from yesterday? Good! I am, too.
Today we are going to revisit our awesome core workout here and our arm exercises here. If you want to get in some cardio or do some HIIT, I totally support you. You can go for a walk or do yesterday's workout or our Tabata from here. I'm going to have to lay off the cardio today.
Unfortunately I've had an old injury rearing its ugly head for the last week and a half, even with the down time from the last migraine. I have an Achilles tendon that goes bonkers any time I do cardio (and apparently squats) more than twice as week for an extended time (like a few weeks or more). The point in telling you this is not to go on about my problems.
The point is to let you know that it's normal to run into snags and have to change up your program. I won't get as drastic results as I wanted, but with consistency even a very low impact routine with muscle toning will make a big difference, just you wait and see!
I say all this to encourage you. I do not work out all the time. Between the migraines and this Achilles tendon, I've been getting three good days per week in - and not overly intense days - very doable for the average person, and you will see that even three days a week makes a difference, especially if you can reduce your sugar. As I've said before - reduce, not eliminate. My drink of choice is lightly sweetened tea (I just heard the health gurus gasp). Like I said yesterday, it's not "all or nothing". I'm still improving and working my way toward better eating, too. Progress is still progress, and anything is better than moving backwards.
Warmest regards,
Sarah
