Age of Pandora - Preparation 0/60

[beelikej]

So... tomorrow I will start a new Work-Out Challenge: the Age of Pandora. It will last for 60 days and I plan to keep a daily journal, starting today with a preparation post.
I won't be the only one trying this challenge, this will be a group effort together with fellow fangirls! Here's a shout out to:
somersault_j, whiskygalore, sinfulslasher, tabaqui, sleepypercy, shouwa and lotrspnfangirl!

Find out more about this Role Playing Game Fitness Challenge on the Darebee website. (You can download pdfs of the complete 60 Day program for free!)

Here's a sneak peek of the first set of exercises:


Dundundunnnnn. I'M EXCITED!

I plan to prepare for each day by adding videos of the exercises in the next chapter to my personal Age of Pandora playlist (chapter 1 and 2 are up already:)

Sometimes an exercise is too difficult to do, for example I avoid moves that involve jumping because they are too tough on my knees, my boobs and my downstairs neighbours;) I substitute those with a similar exercise with the same intensity but less bouncy impact.
I collected quite a few good moves in all the work-out challenges I did last year. If you're new to this, check out the extensive Darebee archives: Modification examples / Work-Out Sets (go to bottom of page to filter preferences / Video Exercises!)

Important for first-timers: WARM UP!!

If you want to join us and/or if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I am no expert, but I speak from experience;) The most important thing for me is to keep moving and to keep it fun. So tomorrow I'll start my warm-up with the Creasser:

Just.... MIND THAT KNEE!! ;)

I always mind my knees, that's probably why I forgot to pay attention to other parts of my legs and how that silly calf got torn last year;)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Ha ha oops I've clearly got knees on my mind - I should have said CALF. Though of course now you are minding that, your knees might be in jeopardy again... LOL

Heee, that's true, I'm trying not to focus on my calf, but also pay attention to knees and other joints;) So far so good!

Glad to hear it, we don't want you on crutches again for your next trip to the UK!
