.... & yet, another failure...

I started PiYo last week...

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....
