Turbo Jam kicked my Butt... well more my back...

My Turbo Jam package finally arrived and after a two week break from exercising(trip out of the country and all), I hit the carpet on Saturday morning with my very first TJ workout. I was totally uncoordinated and would have failed any form contest, but I had fun doing the first session. Before I knew it, 45 minutes was over and I was feeling like I wanted to do more. So I walked on my treadmill for while and then gave a few minutes of the Ab Jam a try. All in all, I worked out for 90 minutes and had fun (and I felt like I worked out at the end of it all).

Then by the end of the day, my lower back started to hurt, it also included the oblique’s and lat's....

Sleep was interesting on Saturday night, each time I had to move, it was a challenge for my back - but man when I did sleep, I slept good.

So on Sunday, I decided to just take it easy and walked on my treadclimber for 40 minutes and watched a couple of the DVDs so that I could get familiar with the process. And silly me, then did the 20 minute TJ session but took it easy so that I didn't add onto the soreness of my back already.

Ha! By the end of the day, it was pretty sore.

Today it still hurts so I didn't get up at 4 and do my normal exercise routine. While at work, I’ve got a desk job so as I sit there, it continues to get more stiff. I've decided a nice walk at lunch around the river will loosen me up nicely. I'll take up another TJ session tomorrow morning. Once I like something, I hit it head on and I think this is going to be one of those things...

One of the things I need to work out for this exercise program is the reverse kick. My hips just don't allow for it so I've modified it a bit. I'm hoping through this exercise regime, it will help loosen my hips and allow me to be more flexible and eventually do those back kicks!

So here's to TJ kicking my butt and hopefully I (and others) will notice a huge body change in the next two months...
