So, I'm remembering how much I love Body Pump. I really feel like I accomplish something after the class which is such a nice feeling! I wish there was more core, but a girl can't have everything!
I had another realization last night - going to Body Pump right after Physical Therapy is not such a hot idea - can we say fatigue?
So, on Tuesday at PT, we discovered my right thigh is a full 2 inches larger than my left, and my left calf is 1 cm larger than my right. My physical therapist was shocked. She said anything over 7 cm for my thighs is extreme. Apparently it means my left leg is lazy as sin and my right is beating the crap out of it and taking over. My left calf is trying to keep up and is working harder than the right calf, but the right leg as a whole is still dominating. The uneve leg thing is definitely part of what's screwing up my back. Upon this discovery, I am no longer allowed to work out my right leg until my left decides to catch up. That being said, PT is a lot of left leg exercises. That means, when I go to Body Pump, I only do lunges on my left side. When everyone switches legs, I take a bit of a break and then keep on going on the left side. Doing that many lunges, right after doing left leg workouts at PT, left my leg quivering so hard I could barely do squats later on! I went to get out of bed today and my muscles were (and still are) screeeaaaaming! It's a hurt so good, but the hurt is definitely on!
