A very pathetic day...

Well, the schedule today called for lower body strength training. Last week I didn't get to do the floor work because my legs were so sore from the standing work I did 2 days earlier. So I thought today I would do the floor work and see how that went. I was supposed to do the floor work from both Gym Style Legs, and Pyramid Lower Body. I did GS Legs and it was a burner for sure. But when I put in PLB, it just looked like the same exercises I had just done, so I decided to skip that part. I was also supposed to do a segment from Core Max, which I finally have in my posession. Well, I started to do segment 1, but my abs were so sore from yesterday's ab work in KPC, that I just couldn't get very far. I felt like I was just doing everything with poor form, and that's just not good. So I kind of gave up today. I didn't get a very good workout, other than the burn in my thighs (and oh, were they ever burning!). I probably would have been better off doing the standing lower body work instead. On the other hand, maybe I needed a less intense day. I've been working pretty hard lately, and I tend to get in this mindset where I feel like I must always push myself to the max or it's a waste of my time. But that's just not true. Sometimes you need to take it easy. So I'll look at today as more of a recovery day. And tomorrow I'll pick back up with GS Chest & Triceps.
