Have you ever been in a hospital's recovery room? Ya know, where you go after surgery or something really invasive? Where you rest, recuperate, and where Stella gets her groove back, right? What is the key word? Recovery.
Webster defines recovery as 2 definitions: 1) "the act or process of overcoming a disorder or shortcoming." 2) "the process of combating a disorder (as alcoholism) or a real or perceived problem." Whereas, number 2 can be discussed in much detail... that's not what we're going to focus on, let's look at number 1. How in GAY HELL does definition number 1 go together with the word "cardio?!" That's an oxymoron!
The Cardio recovery did have me doing all kinds of moving, dropping, and shaking though. It does still make you work up one hell of a sweat, but it's not as intense as day 2 and 3. This session also makes you do all kinds of balancing and stretching, keeping your muscles working hard. I don't do these two things so well, especially when you put them together. Have you ever held a hip flexor stretch for almost 2 minutes, while bouncing up and down, and twerkin' left and right? ME EITHER... I fell. A lot. But I made it all the way through, despite how many times my legs were shaking about ready to give out.
