C1W2D1
Well, back on track today. I did cardio this morning in lieu of the standard leg workout. I really don't want to bulk up my legs *at all*. I do understand the premise that building muscle will burn more calories and that the leg muscles are very large, etc. but I know my leg muscles are pretty big to begin with, covered with lots of fat. I'll evaluate my progress after this challenge, but until then, I'll be doing cardio in place of legs.Now onto my cardio evaluation. I'm a sucky runner to begin with so I don't expect too much from myself especially this early in the challenge, but I have definitely improved slightly over the past week. It's not so difficult, and I wasn't dreading it as much this morning...probably because it is getting easier. I'll be going for some new sneakers tonight because all of mine are too small for running.
