Day 4

Yesterday was a rest day but I did take a nice leisurely stroll last night for about 15-20 minutes. Today I took advantage of the YMCA and did some cross training. My book says to do between 45-1 hour but I only did 40 minutes. I did 10 minutes on a stair climber, easy. I felt fine, but winded after that. Then I moved to the recumbent bike for 30 minutes. I thought I was taking it easy on the bike too, but by minute 26 my upper abs were hurting. So, I dropped my pace considerably and the pain subsided. However, by the time I got to my car it started hurting again. It really will take some time for me to get to feeling normal again. I hope I'm just sore from not using these muscles for over 10 months and that the pain will go away and that I'll learn just how to push myself safely.
