I started the DVD today, and I thought once again, “That’s a lot of stuff!” when I saw the equipment list. Also, I was wondering if I mentioned that the cast members are Aaron, Shawn, and of course Kelly (bikini/fitness model and health blogger).
This time around, I heard Tony Horton say that “kipping” is “Body English that’s ugly.” A more formal definition is “using a forceful initial movement of the legs in order to gain momentum.” So when he says “No Kip” that means “no movement to gain momentum.”
This is my first time doing Chest Back and Balance with the heavier weight bands I used late last week. I was able to do the same number of repetitions as before (maybe a few less), but with more effort. According to the numbers stamped on the band clips, I am pulling about 60 percent of my weight. We’ll see how that translates into easier pull ups when I use a bar.
I’m not talking about my push ups too much, but they are coming along nicely. I’m still not very confident with the stability ball, but I attempted a few plyo pushups before returning to the floor.
It took one hour and 15 minutes without Ab Ripper. Any time I have to go back and forth to the resistance bands, it gets complicated and there are pauses. I did not have time for Ab Ripper this morning or tonight, either. I will do my best to make up for it tomorrow evening!
P.S. My arms have been sore all day. It’s not painful, but the “good kind” of post-exercise soreness that means I worked hard!
