Blogilates - Arms/Back + 30:00 Incline Treadmill

Two days later and my quads are STILL complaining about the workout I gave them on Tuesday. Whiners. So today I'm going to try to hit my hamstrings to make up for it, which pretty much leaves me with the incline treadmill. I'll have to keep the pace down to keep quad effort minimal, which always makes me feel like a failure, but such is life. Since I have no obligations today, no cooking to do, and lingering I-haven't-worked-out-enough-but-eaten-like-a-fat-kid-anyway guilt, I'm also going to do an upper body workout.

The upper body workout is from Blogilate's 'FeelFabFeb' calendar (Feb 13th's workout, specifically). Unlike January, which flip-flopped between full body workouts and cardio workouts, February's calendar only has one day a week dedicated into cardio. The rest of the days work one or two muscle groups specifically with a little cardio tacked on to the end. Since I was planning on doing the treadmill anyway, I skipped the final cardio track.

Hamstring usage success! Not painfully sore this morning, but they definitely got used yesterday. I shall call it a win.

Also, again I get my ass kicked by freaking knee pushups. KNEE. PUSHUPS.
