Day 1 of Challenge!

Welcome to Day 1 of my "30 days of FREE work outs challenge!" All day I thought about getting my first workout in as I ran to a meeting, a coffee date with my husband and child, and then finally a much needed library book return (I really do not like paying overdue charges!). Then it was home for a late lunch and time to put our baby down for her 4PM nap. 
Finally, I was able to get down to business! First step was taking a picture of my post baby body. Let me tell you that was not easy. But, if I am going to be logging my results, I need to have a starting point. So, here I am at almost 3 months PP...

I made sure it was late in the day so I did not have a "morning belly" and did NOT tuck in my stomach, even though I was very tempted to! Ha

And a side view.

 Now, to some people I might not look like I need a lot of work, and to others, well, they might disagree, but I am working out to be my BEST self. Not to be the skinniest, or try to be perfect, but to be the best I can be with the body God gave me. Can I get an Amen? :)

Then it was off to my workout studio slash nursery for my first session. 

My studio generously donated for the afternoon by my 3 month old.

I have to let you know that I did nothing crazy. No 1 hour boot camp for me. I simply went onto Youtube and typed in "Pop Pilates." I had heard someone mention it and knew it was free so I decided to check out.
The video on the top of the list was labeled, "Crazy Abs, Butt, and Legs Workout." And it was 12:36 seconds long.

Bingo!

Bubbly Cassey talks a lot, but I felt a burn!

The instructor was Cassey Ho and she seems to have quite the following on Youtube. Her style is super outgoing, chatting through the camera lens like she is a friend that is working out right along side you. I found the pilates moves slightly challenging, and even noticed a slight burn during the seat work section. Yay!
However, she does like to teach life lessons mid workout, which I found slightly awkward, but still an overall good time. :) I finished with a quick stretch and a post workout drink from Suja. It was my first time trying it and I feel REALLY healthy after just one glass. Haha

There is only green healthiness here!

Overall, I feel really good about Day 1. I put no high expectations on myself, my workout was short and sweet, and it was all in the comfort of my own home and did not cost me a penny!
Bring on Day 2!
