Ok….I am officialy eating humble pie! I started my 90 days of workout commitment today and boy was I wrong! I began my day with a healthy breakfast, one I got from the 10 Minute Meal Guide, 1/2 a cantelope with 1/2 a cup lowfat cottage cheese with 1/3 cup high fiber cereal. I must say it was really good! I wasn’t hungry at all after. In fact I found myself quite full…….to the point of bursting! After that I did my dishes and got my kids ready. Now that my “mommy chores” were done it was time for the true test. Being a former gymnist, I had my doubts about what I could possibly achieve in 10 small minutes. So I decided instead of 10 minutes I would do 20 today (10 Minute Trainer allows you to customize your workouts based on what you think you can achieve). So Day 1 on my workout calender was the 10 minute cardio workout. Let me tell you I was sweating after 2 minutes, and that was without the cardio band! I was breathing heavy and having to push myself come the last 2 minutes. I stopped with 30 seconds to go and got a drink and then finished strong the last 10 secs.

The finishing move is definately the hardest thing I have ever done! It’s called “hop squat back run forward”. You start in squatting position and hop backwards 4 times then run forward like you are running through tires…..then do it all over again for a minute! 10 Minute Trainer is intense! I could not believe this was just the cardio portion of my day. My all knowing self decided to add the lower body workout to my routine today as well. I had another 10 minutes of shaking buns and thighs. My muscles are still twitching from the exercises. I loved it all though! Day 1 lesson learned:: You are not as great as you think you are! I am definately looking forward to tomorrow’s workout……..I don’t think I’ll be doing any more than 20 minutes for a  while though LOL!
