Alright, back on track! Today was our first day tackling PiYo Core, it was tough. My back is still not 100% from last week when I tried lifting that patient but the workouts are helping me work through the ache as long as I keep following Michelle my favorite modifier.
I am still struggling to figure out how my body should be feeling during the PiYo Pike, this is when I really wish I had a mirror to be able to see my alignment. From past workout programs I know that as I get stronger this will become easier for me to tease out I just need to keep up with it and fight for every inch.
So, something we need to address for all the nursing moms following this. You need to have a good sports bra, this is super tough to find though. Depending on when your baby last fed will really change how it fits. I do like my nursing sports bra but they require more care with washing so I use a standard sports bra I picked up but it never fits quite right, but I can just chuck it into the laundry. Accepting that this is going to keep being uncomfortable for me has been difficult. I’m grateful that there is not much jumping in PiYo, although the downward dogs can be problematic.
I know, I should just suck up the extra laundry time and embrace the nursing specific wear, but what they don’t warn you about when you have a kid is you will pretty much live in your laundry room. Before Davey we did laundry once maybe twice a week, now I am literally down there every freaking day! Partially my own damn fault choosing cloth diapers, but ugh.
Overall, the workout was really good my shoulders are absolutely screaming! At the end of the workout Chalene subtly warns us we may be feeling a little sore in unexpected places tomorrow…I will keep you all posted.
