Day 5 of Challenge!

Hello Sore Legs!

I woke up this morning and my thighs and bum were sooo sore that it took me an extra step to get out of bed! I am really glad I stretched after my workout yesterday or I am pretty sure I wouldn't be able to walk today. Haha!

Knowing how sore my lower half was, I decided to do only arms today. I used to be afraid that if I did push ups or used weights, I would get bulky man-arms and that really isn't the look I am going for. But,  I have since found that I would have to be doing serious lifting for that to happen and as you saw from Day 3, I am only using teeny weeny 2 pound weights.

Me and my 2 pound weight.
Now, nothing screams "fit body" like a Victoria's Secret Angel and seeing that Pop Pilates had a VSA video for arms, I thought I might as well try it as not. ;)

VSA Workout!

And for fun I uploaded a video of me during the workout so that you can see a little bit of how it was!


I enjoyed the fact that I felt a burn in my arms, but it wasn't super long. And even though I have the "Power of the Pause" button available, I try to never use it unless my baby needed me or something big like that. But just because it hurts? No way! I treat every workout as if I were in a class setting. Maybe it's the Home Schooler in me? :)

Bring on Day 6!
