Boy, my legs are sore. It's not that yesterday's workouts made me hurt a lot. It's that the stretching in today's videos was tough. Way tough. I generally like the stretches as they are easier to do than most of Cassey's other videos.
But not today's. The way she was stretching today was amazingly difficult.
We started with the first video, which was merely cardio once more. Again, I have no problems with this type of workout. It's like, simple, for me.
We came to the second video and I looked at it and thought it would be easy. Every other stretching video was easy. Every other time I've tried I've found success.
This time, I did not find nearly as much success. I should have known because she uses a belt in some of the stretches. I don't do well with belts. I took one out this morning to put on but got frustrated when I couldn't quite get it to go right. So, I left it on my bed.
Low and behold, I needed to use it again this evening. I busted it out and started to stretch. And it hurt. Using the belt to pull back on my leg, to straighten it out, was SUPPOSED to make things easier but honestly I was struggling pretty bad to keep it together.
There wasn't a movement in this video that I didn't have difficult with. It was hard. It was tiring.
I'm pooped.
I managed to roll to the third video, did that, but I'm quite disappointed that I struggled so much with stretching. After yesterday's breakthrough, I thought for sure I would be able to lick today's videos. Instead, I feel like I lost.
Admittedly, I know I didn't. But I feel like I did. My tail got kicked by that stretching video. I cursed. I pleaded. I begged. I definitely want to do any other video other than that one.
My report today is one of embarrassment, disappointment, and a whole new respect for stretches. These stretches were not feel good. Not at all.
Thanks for reading. See you for Day Seventeen.
