Day 5: Pure Cardio

You got that right!!! Yesterday was MUCH easier compared to today. There wasn't so much of the push on this body part, pull this one out of socket, or cut 3 back flips then a full split. It was much more moving as quickly as I can and then drop. If I wasn't dropping, I was jumping; anything to max out my heart rate to the point of explosion.

These workouts are really killing my legs. It's been 5 days and I can ABSOLUTELY notice a difference in the shape of my legs... I can see my quads and calves. Ya know, those lines that make me look like I have legs. It puts a great sense of accomplishment in the exhausted spirit of my heart to see results after 5 days.

Also, after these 5 days, consuming 70-80 ounces of water a day is NOTHING. I am constantly thirsty, and drinking water like the earth is about to dry up. The only problem that comes with drinking so much water... peeing every 5 minutes. Even though it makes me happy to see my pee clear for more than 2 days in a row (healthy pee!), I feel like I have a disorder spending so much time in the restroom.

Finally, I want to give a huge shoutout to my girl Nicole Kovacs for not only letting me sweat my ass off in her living room, but for actually doing day 5 with me. I now have a whiteness that tried a workout with me and almost died. Good Job, Nicole, now start from day 1...

Hotel Rooms Don't Have DVD Players

I will say that I wish hotels had more DVD players attached to those high-priced flat screen TVs (that only get 25 channels, 10 are news, 10 are sports, and 4 are hotel/city affiliated, and 1 is HBO). I know, some do; most don't.

Day 4 was the first day of working out in a hotel room, and I must say, It's just the same as working out in my tiny DC living room. This just goes to show that you can do this work out anywhere. Day 4 had you bending, stretching, pulling, pushing, balancing, werkin', and twerkin' for your life and I still had enough space.

I would also like to thank Aram Taghavi for the wonderful words of motivation like "Make me proud!" and "Don't give up!" while you quaintly sat on the comfortable chair nestled cozy in the corner, watching me as I pray to a higher power for this stretch to end. It's so nice having great friends!
