lovin the butterfly with a painfree shoulder

So a few months back I swore off butterfly kips. it was at a time when i was having a lot of pain. Well since i found joanna, i have no more pain and today's butterfly kips felt absolutely amazing. I was able to do 5 pullups in the time it used to take me to do 3. I felt like i could have done a million. Even though it was a mini cindi it was the first time i wasnt gasping during it and the only thing slowing me down was muscle failure on the pushups. I was doing chest to bar pullups and chest to floor pushups so i am absolutely thrilled. I could have gone faster on the whole thing but always remember burning out in the past. My 15minute cindy was only 2 rounds shy of my 20minie cindy. i like that. i've been going 5 or 6 times a week for a few weeks now. And at night, i'm trying to do an hour of some sort of exercise. I am feeling pretty good. i've been eating better than i ever have before. JOanna has worked miracles on my hips and shoulders. She said my muscles were so tight that they weren't all performing the roles they should be. As a result, supporting muscles were doing work for primary muscles for many activities. She warned me that i'd probably see a decrease in my strength for a while before getting stronger. Well, she was right. feeling much better and lifting pain free.
