I knew it would be a challenge when I had to do 732 downward dogs...
& then on Saturday, my disk messed up. Wouldn't work in anything.
So Saturday - I talked about this in my vlog - I did the Nike Kinect - which I REALLY REALLY like. It get my heart pumping - it tones me up in strength training.
Sunday, tried the PiYo disc again... nothing... nada...
Monday... same...
Really?
So Tuesday, I contact Beachbody & they were super awesome. Said they would send me out another set, no cost to me... how nice is that?
But Wednesday, it called for a workout that was on another disc. That one worked. SUCCESS - finally. Now, I'd still been working with the Nike Kinect & I thought, OK, let's see if I can jump back into PiYo...
... when within 5 minutes, they were having you do these weird side planks.
I can do them on my left arm. Having to hold ALL my body weight, on the side, on my bad shoulder. Nope, Can't do it. & definitely can't do these bends & rolls & contortion moves on one broken arm....
I just screamed "SCREW IT" & popped it out & went back to a sweat fest on my Nike Kinect...
 |
so now, I'm wondering if I'm even going to go back to PiYo...
I feel bad about it. I mean, its not cheap to buy, but I just don't know if this is what my body is calling for right now.
Yes, I can adapt - I have been so far when the disks were working.
Maybe I'll give tonight another try...
though I'm looking forward to my Nike Kinect workouts now. I like that it holds your personal best & lets you know when you pass it.
The down side of Nike Kinect - it doesn't sense right sometimes.
I was supposed to be doing lunges - people, please - I know how to do lunges. & it wouldn't register. It kept saying, put your hands on your hips. My freaking HANDS ARE ON MY HIPS!!!.... "Please put your hands on your hips"
Confession - I may or may not have given the Kinect a good clear view of my hands... specifically a hand motion & THEN put them back on my hips...
 |
| What hand motion did you think I was talking about? ... you'd be right... it wasn't this one... |
.... to hear, "Put your hands on your hips"
So what called for 15 lunges, because it didn't see me doing them, I did like 45 on one leg.
At least with Nike Kinect, its not working my shoulders solely & painfully... & I'll have amazing legs doing 129 lunges on each leg....
I think Kinect is pretty cool, we even have one. But man when it messes up it is SO SO SO annoying!! I hate when it doesn't read your body movements! Way to go getting all those workouts done girl, you have great perseverance!
ReplyDeleteI try ... mercy, I try...
DeleteI don't think I even know what a kinect is, going to have to look it up. I am saving up for the PiYo might have to wait until the kids are back in school and I don't have a daycare bill. Great job with your workouts!
ReplyDeleteThose Beachbody videos are expensive... but it is a good workout - especially if you like Yoga & pilates
DeleteYikes! Sorry some of this is not working for you. I have no suggestions because I don't do any of this.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that they're sending out another set at no additional cost. We all know how much beachbody loves their shipping fees! LOL. Keep nursing that shoulder, lady. I can't wait to see your quads in 4 weeks! ;)
ReplyDeleteI have never tried the Nike Kinect, so I have no tips:( I've tried the XBox Kinect, but I am thinking that is something entirely different, LOL
ReplyDeleteGood luck with what you decide!
