Day 1
Day 1
Fully and totally kicked my own ass today. It was pretty much a full head to toe beating. That makes me feel both awesome and pathetic. Heh, awesome cause I was motivated and saw it through, pathetic cause dang, I should be further along than I already am.
Pushups were sets of 10
Full body squats sets of 15, damn I never realised how much I would actually feel these
Stationary lunges sets of 15, Once again, these took me by suprise… completely tore my legs down…. heh, between these and the squats, I had to use the hand rails to go down steps.
I don’t have a pullup bar and I wouldn’t be able to do 10-15 pullups at a time right now so I did a similiar motion with resistance bands, 3 bands sets of 15. I’m going to have to buy another set fairly soon to increase the resistance.
Burpee thingamabobbers….. suck… heh I only did one set. I’m going to have to have quit smoking for at least a week before I’ll be able to complete these.
Plank did one set at 45 seconds, second was 30 seconds, and third set was probably around 20…. these also took me by suprise… a lot harder than it looks. 45 seconds is an eternity, heh.
Warm up and Cool down were 5 min on the treadmill
Stretched leisurely for about 15-20 min. I really need to read up on stretching to find myself a good routine. Flexibility is going to be really important for me.
Diet is also on track.
Overall I feel really good. I think the difference this time around is that my motivation is completely different than what it was in the past. This time around the motivation is to be able to do all the activities I want to like rock climbing etc instead of the more vain reasons that have been my motivation in the past.
I’m beat! And tomorrow I’ll be in pain… heh. It was a good start!
