• Day 3: I. Am. So. Sore.

    By Oxygen's Staff Blog|Oxygen Staff|2013-02-21 | Comments:  0
    Hey Oxygen fans! I’m Carla, Oxygen’s Online Editor. For the next three months, I’ll be taking on Oxygen’s Best Body Challenge – join me, and get the beach body you’ve always wanted just in time for summer! Get started here.

    A piece of advice on Day 3 of the Best Body Challenge: don’t take the stairs. I am so sore. SO SORE. Way more sore than I was on Day 2, which Deputy Editor Rachel Crocker tells me is typical (apparently, you feel it most 48 hours after exercising. Who knew?). I seriously weigh my options before I get up from my desk chair—do I really need a glass of water? Can I just call in to our layout meeting instead of walking 10 feet down the hall?

    Complaining aside, I really did love the workout! I like that it’s up to you to do your best and push yourself to failure. I totally surprised myself with the number of pushups I could do (5!). Check out how I did on the right. My goals for this month are to do at least one decline push-up, increase my wall squat times and up my plank times. What are yours?

    I can’t believe I’m going through the program again tonight. The very thought of wall squats makes my quads ache (oh, never mind—that’s just all the time).

    And what do you think of my nifty training log? You can download it here.

    How did you do on Day 1? Tell us in the comments!
