Jillian Michaels hates me and wants me to die

[jethrien]

Why else is she living in my playstation and taunting me?

New exercise video is tough. I got it because all the running in the world won't help me with my upper body strength.

I have learned an important lesson. All the running in the world didn't help me with my upper body strength.

I feel woobly. Which I know all too well is going to translate into "in incredible amounts of tired muscle-pain for the rest of the week". Oh dear.

I'm doing the cardio on the mat and hoping that dampens some of the jumping sounds. The neighbors got pissed at Chuckro for DDR, but they haven't complained when I've done aerobics videos...

It's really sad - I'm totally ok on the cardio and abs sections, but I can barely do the strength parts of the circuit on level 1. The side lunge while raising the weights in front of you just about killed me.

OH GOD THE SIDE LUNGE. *death*

I was okay on the strength stuff, but the cardio destroyed me. Even after doing it for three weeks straight, I couldn't do the jump ropes.

Well, I run pretty regularly. But I've completely fallen off the weight-lifting wagon. So I can do leg based cardio forever without problems, but trying to lift those damn weights in front of me...*death*

Yeah, I'm new to the running thing.

A lifetime of dodgy knees and other joints have made it a sometimes food, but I'm trying to get on it for real this time!
