I tried the abs class immediately after work and I don't think I'm going to be able to do it going forward. The whole half hour was spent on the floor on a thin mat and I was struggling. I asked for help with form but my trainer wasn't able to help me out much and by the end of it, my leg and tush were killing me and my sciatica was starting to flare. I can't even feel anything to do with my abs now. That may change tomorrow because I know we were working them but spending that much time on a hard surface and with poor form isn't beneficial for me.

I had originally planned to only do the class but I needed to try to work the kinks out so I hopped on the elliptical and went real slow. I felt like a horse in a race continually being reined in. I've found that my fat burn HR is around 3.0 on the elliptical. I usually go about 4.0-4.5 mph so it was really restricting in one aspect. In another, it was a relief. If I didn't soak myself in sweat and go, go, go until I felt lactic acid building up it didn't feel like I was really trying. I feel like I have permission, if you will, from a (semi) professional to give myself a break, which is good, because I need it.
