Hurts So Good!

First of all, thanks everyone for the wonderful feedback on yesterday's post! You made me not feel like a freak of nature and reminded me that this shall all pass and I will be strong and healthy soon. Whether you shared a personal story, offered me some motivation, or simply agreed that things sometimes suck, it was very helpful reading your comments! So thank you!

ONWARD!


There are certain fitness activities that ALWAYS make me sore if I haven't done them for a few weeks or a few months. It doesn't matter how good of shape I'm in, the following activities make me sore if I take a few weeks off from doing them...

 1. Tae-Bo

 My shoulders and arms are usually killing me the day after a session with Billy Blanks. I only recently got rid of my Tae-Bo DVDs because I realized you can find them on Youtube.

 2. Zumba 

 I wrote about how awesome Zumba is wayyyyy back when I first started my blog. I know it's crazy, but it's usually my back that hurts after a heart pumpin' Zumba class. And whenever my back hurts, it makes me feel old!

 3. Trail Running

You use muscles you didn't even know you had when you trail run. Mostly your ankles. My ankles are screaming if I take a break from the trail.

 4. Kettle bell Swings

 Even though I do squats with the Smith machine at the gym, if I do kettle bell swings, my glutes are so sore the next day! Like, "can't sit on the toilet" sore!


What activities always make you super sore?
Did you ever do Tae Bo or Zumba?
