T25: abandoning ship

well, so much for that idea. T25 is simply too high impact for me.

as i sat last night talking with my husband, all i could think about was how little i wanted to do the next workout or even repeat any of the ones i've done so far.

the program is designed to cram as much high-energy activity into 25 minutes as possible and as a result, there's very little transition time between activities. i feel like for the past 3 days i've been out of balance and sore as a result.

it turns out it's not just jumping i don't care for, it's the rapidity of motion in terms of getting a handle on what my body is supposed to be doing. with yoga, half my practice is easing into a pose and then adjusting and then adjusting a little more. i have time and liberty to help my body get into alignment. with this type of workout, i just don't.

M actually agreed with me and he's much more capable of doing the high impact work. his body is more used to that type of activity. i think i may have spent the last 10 years avoiding exactly this.

however, it was worth a try and i'm glad i gave it a go. moving on...
