Week 2 - Days 8 through 14

So here is the new format to get me caught up... week by week.

AS you may have noticed in the first 7 days of the program, the exercises rotate each day to a different part of the body. This allows for the muscles to rebuild, repair and recover from the workout. So the routine breaks out like this:

Monday- Chest / Back
Tuesday- Shoulder / Abs
Wednesday- Triceps / Biceps
Thursday- Hamstrings / Quads
Friday- Calves / Gluteus (fancy word for your butt)
Saturday- Inner and Outer Thighs
Sunday- Off day (yeah!)

What is really great about this is the book only gives you 4 weeks of exercises, but since you now know the "routine" or order you can always keep going by adding in your own exercises. You can of course just start the program over and increase the weights as you get stronger, but it might be fun to find some new exercises that work each muscle group.

So on to week 2....

I would have to say that week 2 went pretty darn well. The program became easier and easier as the days went on and I am really feeling like this is becoming a habit. Now this is coming from a lifelong "workout hater" so I don't say that lightly.

I know that many folks will attack the 8 minutes workout and say that you really can't get a good workout in 8 minutes.... However, the fact remains that I was NEVER able to stay on a traditional workout plan for more than a week and now I am through two weeks and excited about it! I would say that is better than a traditional workout.

I ended Week 2 feeling very good.... and oh yeah... by the way.. I have already lost 3 pounds. Results.... that's all I really care about.
