I am being such a baby! LOL I have to terms that the 30day Asylum program is going to take me more than 30 days, but no worries, its become one of those things that have become personal and I must conquer. Since doing Asylum I've never "felt" my hamstrings, I knew about them, have to stretch them but didn't understand why, now I know. My hamstrings are sore! especially my right side. Not sure what that is about, but just in case, I am taking it easy with Asylum so I am taking breaks in between days. The next workout is Vertical Plyo. I had it scheduled for last night, but since it was Dia de Las Madres, I got pampered at home, next thing I knew it was 11pm. So my goal is tonight. There are no more mothers day celebration so there are no excuses.
But seriously...my hamstrings are...ouch! I am not injured or anything, but when I am not moving my legs, which is most of the day as I have a desk job my legs get stiff! The first steps I take after sitting down for awhile its like I am Frankestein, can't bend my knees right away :) Anyway, I am working on not getting injured hence why I am attacking Asylum slowly! Its going to be a great program to spring me over to Insanity.

Asylum - Day 7 Strength
Hi friends!
Well Day 7 of Asylum was actually completed this Monday (5/2/11). I don't think I've gotten used to Shaun's warm ups yet. His warm ups, in my books are like a complete workout! I had already come to the conclusion that I really should do Asylum workouts in the AM, when I am more likely to feel more refreshed. I did strength in the PM of Monday and honestly I was already tired! Ironically the warmup and the first strength and cardio combination gave me a boost of energy, but by the 2nd circuit I was done. However, I kept pushing and I finished the workout. During the Pushup/shoulder taps I had to admit I wasn't coming as deep into my pushup and eventually I had to go on my knees. I particularly like Strength because of the added cardio benefit, you are not crazily moving around like in Speed and Agility or Vertical Plyo but my heart rate was up and I was sweating bullets, you can't beat that!
Since Monday I had taken a small break...but tonight is Day 8! Core and Back, and I will also jump for about 20min on the treadmill, I am feeling good this evening!

Asylum Day 6 - Speed and Agility
I am behind with my posts! but no worries, I am on it! Although I've taken a bit of a break, Game Day is tomorrow!
Anyway Day 6 for me was completed on Saturday! After a failed attempt to do it on Saturday morning ( I had to call it quits as too many kids were trying to workout with me, thought I was going to hit one of them with the jump rope and fighting with them as to who was going to hop on the agility ladder) I decided to stop. However, I made sure I did it on that Saturaday afternoon! Here is the deal, Speed and Agility should be done when you feel most energetic! I pushed myself, but I was already tired from earlier in my day, but the good news is that Shaun T says that you don't actually start working until your muscles are tired, and you keep pushing. So after I did the warm up, I was pretty much done for. But I kept pushing myself. I did take some extra breaks, and took all my water breaks, but I hanged in there. You know what they say, successful people bite more than they can chew, and then they just start chewing...well thats how I am feeling about Asylum! LOL Not sure what I got myself into but I am continuing to tackle it! :)
