Going good on Day 32 although left knee is making my life less than fun. I used the support of the back of a chair to fulfill my lunges and got through them. Right is fine, albeit sore but left lunges were done using a chair. I tried the jumps but had to stop at 9 per set as left knee was telling me to stop. I was fine with the 1350 skips (felt good) and other exercises. Did them all a little slower than usual.
Can certainly feel the 'da vincis' did their thing: shoulders are pumping as I sit at my desk. Also did pull ups in place of inclines - with the aid of a chair placed around 1/2 a metre behind me. It was good and boy can I feel the effect. Did some without the chair to start with but failure is almost immediate.
Food going well - wondered if taking an extra egg-white at night (at dinner) has any benefit. Bought eggs at Costco (cheap, bulk) although they are smaller than usual ones. To be honest, feeling a little lethargic and tired all day: almost like I need a day of rest. Keeping at it though with my end-goal in mind. Going to sleep really early to get up early - but not much happening in evenings so fine to do this for the duration of the program.
Actually, just feeling my quadriceps then and even though I used the support of a chair for my lunges, I can feel the effect. This is the same with my calves which ache from the 1350 skips I assume.
Keeping at it. This is a program where the end goal needs to be clearly front and centre of your mind; otherwise it is difficult to stay motivated. Giddyup.
same here re left knee.. for me the jumpropes are no fun tho! hope it gets better soon.
ReplyDeleteDude, that's what happens once you turn 50.
ReplyDelete@ Marc: smart arse..
ReplyDelete@ Aki: thank you - hope your knee gets better soon too.
Maybe you and Aki need to tweak your right knees, too. Then you'll be balanced! I kid, I kid. Take care of those things. All those creeps and floor jumps are tough enough as is!
