Barefoot workout with Phoenix

Today's workout was a barefoot class consisting of three total body circuits combined with boxing. Great arm conditioning with the boxing.  For cardio, Phoenix took us through multiple rounds of jumping jacks and simulated jump-roping.  She did two rounds of tricep push-ups, but no planks today.

That's what I like about this program.  One day, we're bombarded with planks, planks and more planks and my shoulders feel like they're on fire.  The next day, there's push-ups, but no planks or down-dogs, so my body gets a break from the routine.

Doing my Daily Burn 365 workout after work is the one thing I look forward to every day.  I may come home from work tired, but I want to workout before I relax or eat dinner.  I always do my workouts barefoot in my living room or bedroom.  It's much more comfortable for me.

Takeways:
Instructor:  Phoenix Carnevale
Sweat Factor:  6 out of 10
Difficulty:  5 out of 10
Phrases of the day:  "If you feel uncomfortable -- good." -- Phoenix
"Fatigue is a sign of effort."  "Ego is the enemy of progress."  -- J.D.


Also, J.D. wants to see "Dishwash Loading" as an Olympic sport (don't ask, just do the workout to see what he means).
