When I got into that kind of commitment, I didn't expect that my ribs would be the ones to pay the price, so to speak.
Behind me, I have two days of exercise I self-prescribed to myself. And what do you know, it works. Somehow - just not in the sense I imagined it would - well, this last one is a lie, I knew perfectly well what I was heading myself into when I chose those two, but still, no amount of knowledge prepares you for the pain that follows.
I began with Hip Hop Abs, and I am in a reasonably good shape. So the next morning, when I began with Tibetan exercises, I was unpleasantly surprised that my core muscles outright rebelled when I was holding the 'candle' position. Urgh.
So today, I was understandably apprehensive, if the core would rebel again - I did get my body through HHA last evening, but to my surprise, this time the pain culprit wasn't the core, but the ribs - or, if you are die-hard Latin geek, serratus anterior and latissimus dorsi. Those two are uncomfortably sore, but on the other side, my posture is a little bit better.
I have to admit, I dread the evening this time, because it will be Ab Sculpt part of the HHA, and I know for a fact my stomach muscles will be crying for mercy - if not today, then tomorrow. Well, I will have to deal with it when it comes, so no point in dithering.
Banzai!
