Yesterday I went to a half day Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers class. First, I am not a healthcare provider so already I felt out of place.
we gave mouth-to-mouth to dummies and practiced how to dislodge a foreign object from a choking "baby," learned how to use an AED, and practiced CPR chest compressions for hours.
This morning i woke up and my abs were extremely sore.
I thought to myself, "Holy chickens! have i been coughing all night? why, oh why am I so sore?"
and then it donned on me as I pushed my dog away from my cereal bowl. it was all the chest compressions I did on the mannequin! CPR kicked my butt...i mean stomach.
I fully intend to come out with my own CPR workout videos. Be looking for them sometime next year.
