Sweaty and Sore

I try and do calisthenics aka body weight exercises 1x a week. Yes, I should do it more than that, but I HATE it. So, I just go ALL OUT, 1x a week. And I feel good about that. And ever since I started doing that, I have dropped 8 minutes from my marathon time. 8 MINUTES. Postpartum. That is a lot of time in the running world. I also attribute that to pushing a stroller and kind of doing speed work (like 2x a year...) but mostly I contribute it to this. And the PT exercises my husband makes me do.

Anyway. I don't often stitch together a workout that makes me sore. Not to brag, but either I don't push myself hard enough (which I definitely think I do) or I just don't get sore easily. But I hurt for a few days after this one. And it is funny because I have this thinking error that if it isn't cardio, it isn't working out. This workout is a good combo of both, but it wasn't the cardio parts that made me sore.

Anyway, I did this entire workout on the carpet in from of my computer. I did use a 10 lb weight for part of it (because that is the only thing I have), so make any substitution you like.

For the warm up, I just went at a moderate pace for the entire thing and I adapted a few things because I still have D.R.
