All good on day 2. Actually went ice skating in the morning which was great and it was a good work out. Ice hockey is the sport I grew up with and hadn't skated for 10years. Sure enough - like riding a bike I was back into it. I got to do some sprints around which worked out my legs..
Came home and after walking my two labs I got into day 2 of the exercises. Still having trouble with the rope. I am usually not so unco but keep getting tangled. I might look for a new rope.. Either way got through all the sets - and yes (thanks Chani) wearing my runners did help.
Other exercises were easier but I will admit - getting sore.. which is a good thing right?
Half of everything is much simpler than I thought. Had half a brunch with friends - and then cut out sugar all together (no time like the present). About to have half a dinner now.
My beloved Chani is being amazing support - I learned how to poach fish and better steam vegetables (what a great girl). This is all a steep learning curve which is a good thing.
Onwards and upwards..
Hey Richard. Hockey player, huh. So long as you aren't a flames or canucks fan, that's cool. Fyi, I went to a few sports shops before finding a regular rope. Mizuno store in jimbocho has it. I hear oshmans has it too. Most sports shops carry only plastic. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you....I decided just to have no salt or sugar right from day 1...might as well bite the bullet. The no salt thing...eh that takes a little getting used to...everything tastes so BLAH! I guess the taste buds will adjust!
ReplyDeleteWow how many Aussies play ice hockey? You probably could have made the national team...if you'd gotten a few friends together I mean.
ReplyDeleteThe jump rope gets easier dude. We all struggled & felt like idiots for a week or three, but then you get it and it's awesome. Try jumping in front of a mirror if you can; I found watching my feet and/or the swing of the rope really helped as I tried to get a rhythm going.
