Okay, so yesterday with the fitness test and workout on Your Shape I overdid it. Now I have extremely sore thigh and calf muscles. I remember this feeling well from the first time I started running. FOr weeks my legs just hurt, and I remember how a few months later I could happily cruise around for 10K and suffer no after effects at all. Even a half marathon would only take a couple of days of recovery afterwards. Serves me right for letting it slip.
So My Shape was abandoned for today in the hope that my legs will feel better tomorrow, and I returned to the more sedate Wii Fit. Most of the exercises in Wii Fit will not get you that fit, but the yoga and muscle exercise can have their uses. Today it was mostly cardio exercises, just to try to get my stiff legs moving a little. I threw in a few balance games which are apparently good for core strength.
Oh, and it weighed meand I'm currently 11 stone 7, BMI 25.83. Not good. Not massively overweight, but not where I'd like to be. I'd like 11lb of that to vanish. Taking off weight will decrease the stress on my knees, and give me less to carry around when I run.
