going low impact today

the high impact/high rep routine that I have been doing for the last 2 weeks is starting to show results, but just yesterday I started to feel some wear and tear on my body that I should really address to avoid serious injury. During the second set of jumping rope I started to feel minor inflammation in my left Achilles tendon. Then, last night, my kidneys were feeling pretty sore as well. I have been following a balanced and nutritional diet, so the issues must be a result of the high impact nature of my routine.

Because of this I am going to change up my workout today, Thursday March 1.

4x-5x
800m rowing
20 push-ups
20 functional sit ups
15 body squats
10 burpees
