Total Body Lift + 15:00 Incline Treadmill

Still a little sore from the Pilates workout I tried Tuesday -- guess it does work after all! Especially for those tiny muscles I typically miss during straight lifting sessions -- inner/outer thighs, stuff like that. I'm going to have to start working more of these in.

Woke up feeling like death today. We had week 1 of my new 'game-show' trivia league yesterday and I was Not Impressed by the bar food, which led to drinking on an empty stomach. Rookie mistake. It then led to a late-night visit to one of the more expensive restaurants in the immediate area, a huge steak, mashed potatoes, and sweet potato fries. No regrets! Well, ok, maybe a few. Probably should have saved some leftovers for the pup.

ANYWAY, I'm revisiting a workout from the Women's Health book of 15-minute workouts. Last time I did this workout, I was also coming off of a night of excessive drinking, so I'm not expecting my best work today. But at least I know I'll get through it!

Comments
I switched out the lunges in the last set because I felt like I wasn't hitting my hamstrings enough with the other moves, and lo and behold what do I do? Come thisclose to pulling one of said hamstrings. Good job me. So that's why I added the slow cardio on the incline -- wanted to work the muscle just a little but not put too much strain on it. Hopefully it'll be better soon!
