But I am not really that sore. Now, don't get me wrong, I am really tired and I am really stiff and somewhat sore, but I really thought I would be unable to walk today.
So, why?? Well, I am stretching either once or twice a day for about 45 minutes. I am doing either one or two pool classes a day which is much easier on joints on muscles. This program is also more cardio base than weight training so I'm not doing as much weight training as I do at home . Also, my knee is not letting me really push myself - I'm getting good cardio workouts, but just not able to push myself hard right now. But I am hoping that will change next week since my knee is getting a little better every day.
The schedule is pretty much the same everyday - optional stretching class at 6 am, 2 to 2 1/2 hour hike, depending on drive time then either a water class or stretching. In the afternoon, 3 group classes (the last one being a choice btw pool or a cardio class). Today it was kickboxing, mountain class, and pool for me. Mountain class is where you are one a piece of cardio equipment and you start one level 1, stay one it for three minutes and then go up to level 2, stay on it for three minutes and so on until level 12 for three minutes - so it is like you are climbing up a mountain. It is easy at first and then it starts kicking your butt around level 8 or so!
