So far the program has not been out of reach for me. Some surprises—the squats were more difficult than I thought at the weight I used. There is a big difference in doing 15 full squats at a challenging weight versus a light weight. I did experience some upper body soreness changing my back exercises from pull ups to seated row and my movement prep warm-up exercises also pushed hit some muscles I haven’t worked for some time. My sleep has been good and I continue to experience some strange tightness in my chest. I have checked to see if my pulse is racing—it isn’t. My cardio routine is difficult (HIIT) yet I don’t feel “exhausted” after them so I don’t think I am overtraining. The chest issue is a concern and I may need to talk with my primary care physician. Nutritionally, I have been able to keep my protein intake up and stay within my weight range; I need to stop my alcohol use (1 drink nightly) as I think this may be contributing to the chest tightness. I will be checking my blood pressure this week as well.
