What the...???

Asa and I went to the Attack/Pump combo and CXWORX this morning.  I have been focusing more on running lately (I did an 11-mile run yesterday with no knee problems - woo hoo!), so I have been letting Asa go to the morning Attack class on Tuesdays instead of me.  It's probably been about four weeks since I did Attack, and it showed!

The new Attack release has some great music, but the "what the...?" title of this post refers to the moves.  I felt like the most uncoordinated person in the world trying to do tracks 4 and 9 (the plyometric and power tracks), both of which involved tuck jumps.  Tuck jumps have never been my friend, but this was insane!  In track four, you go from a quadruple-pulse lunge on the right leg to a tuck jump and immediately into a quadruple-pulse lunge on the left leg.  I need to work on this move for sure!  The tuck jumps are back in track 9, this time in a slightly easier format.  Emma, Christen, and Lauren just look so freakin' athletic and powerful doing them - it's awesome to watch those women, and I'm pretty sure that's what I did...just stood there and watched them because I was tuckered out, so to speak.  Of course, this may have had something to do with the fact that we went out to a Halloween party last night and I had one or two (or five) drinks...I was pretty dehydrated this morning!  I really liked track 5, which has a new way of doing tricep pushups.  It was tough, but I felt pretty successful at the end of that track.

The new CXWORX is also really challenging.  Track two is always my nemesis, and it's no different with this release.  I'm fairly certain I'll have sore abs tomorrow (a feeling I actually love, since it's proof I'm working hard!).  I'm never sure what tube to use in that class; green feels too easy but red feels too hard.  Anyone else have that issue?
