Yesterday I worked my lower body. The muscle group called "Quadriceps and Hamstrings" were what caused me grief. As I was laying in bed last night, I realized that I wasn't quite sure where my Quads and Hamstrings were. (a wee bit embarrassed by this). The area that was throbbing was the back of my legs...this is the muscle that has been neglected. I made a mental note to Google these two words the minute that I woke up in the morning (it's good to be productive as one tries to doze off...). As I laid in bed, my hand was resting on the back of my leg and I was thrilled to feel it tighten up when I flexed my foot. Yes, it burned like a bugger when I did it, but beyond the pain, the pleasure of finding this muscle took the front spot. Flex...relax...flex...ouch...relax... Yep, there is something there. Cool.
This morning, as I promised myself, I did my research. SoooOoooo, it seems that my HAMSTRINGS are what have been neglected! Hello there new friends! I don't so much enjoy the implication that "ham" is involved with the back of my thigh, but I'll get past it. My Quads are just fine. Seems as though I've been letting them do all of the work. My thighs need to develop a Union. Equal work! Wait, am I getting all Norma Rae about muscles?
One more thing. Wait, I just forgot what I was going to type. Freaking perimenopause is a pain in my ass. Clear the brain, take a breath...nothing. I've got nothing. OH! It just came back.
The other thing that hit me last night was the fact that I'm not so much looking forward to my Sunday "Free Day". Why? Because it is the only part of this program that is without STRUCTURE. Isn't that a riot?!
