Day 22

Oh mama! With fellow and past PCPers - went to Yokohama to train with Patrick and oh boy was it a good workout.

First lesson: jump rope on a shiny surface is much easier than on carpet - which is what I have been doing at home.

Second lesson: no break between different exercises: keep going while muscles are screaming from the last completed set(s).

Third lesson - I am taking too long when I do this workout at home.

A great workout and all completed in 18 minutes!!! Typically when I was skipping and going through the exercises at home I was taking around 45minutes or more. Today was an eye-opener and I must say I feel really good for it. Also learned how to do lunges proper: step I was taking was not long enough..

It was also worth doing all the measurements proper: visceral fat, etc. Had fat photo done.. nice. No carbs tonight.. fruit for snacks - all good.

Giddyup for Sunday and Day 23 - 9 weeks to go: loving this.

  1. 18 minutes! Are you freakin' kidding me! How is that possible? That is scary. I do not rest but a minute between exercises and stick pretty close to the prescribed rest time. That itself is 13 minutes and 40 seconds...if you don't mind please send me a note separately and explain how you guys went about doing this. Working out with patrick and a few other PCPers sounds great.

  2. Wow -- it took me 13 minutes to do the 1050 jumps....I think I need to pick up the pace also?! Wish I lived in Japan!
