Day 5

As previously mentioned in other posts I am recovering from reconstructive knee surgery and the muscles in my leg are weak to borderline nonexistent. As fate would have it today was leg and back day, and man it was killer. The workouts are good and I looked forward all weak to it because legs have been my favorite for some time but the lack of muscle makes the workout incredibly difficult.

The good news is Tony continues to remind you that if you have knee issues, injuries or just can't do it remember form and quality not QUANTITY. I love his positive attitude and today I needed that push, that motivation. I was tired, stressed and just not in the mood to workout. My leg was killing me and I felt like I was wasting my time since these exercises are for people in better condition. Then I remembered there was a guy with a prosthetic leg doing the routines on DVD #2  so I have no room for complaining.

The leg and back routines are insane, they are simple in concept but when you are tired and running on fumes the workouts are tough and just amazing. You really do have to give it your all and then some more. I find myself forgetting to count and I miss writing down the success and failures of the reps at times. So remember to do that.

All in all it was a great day, plus I can see changes all ready. Nothing drastic but my flexibility in my leg (post surgery) is increasing, I think Yoga helped that. I am less stressed and I have well, lets just say there are other areas I am improving in. My favorite area of improvement is playing with my daughter. I can pick her up and have fun with her again. So thanks Tony and thanks BeachBody.com!
