Reading this chart:

  • Last column is how many more reps or seconds I did since the last time.
    • Green = More
    • Red = Less
  • R = Reps
  • S = Seconds
  • N = No Knee
  • K = Knee
  • P = Plank
  • C = Chaturanga
  • W = Weight
  • M = Medium Resistance Band
  • H = Heavy Resistance Band

So I started with an extra 5 push ups, that felt good, then everything seemed the same till I reached sphinx push ups, I did 20 combine like last time, but the difference is that instead of 6 with no knee, I did 10 with no knee, I was impressed those are tough. For lunge and reach I used the heavy band instead of the medium.

Now side hip raise, this blew me away, what I was doing before was going all the way down to the floor when I went down, now your not suppose to, this time I did not touch the floor and I mustered an extra 3 per side to top it off, it was tough and felt awesome, I really pushed for this because my side chubbies are proving to be tough to bring down LOL and I really need to work on them.

Plank to Chaturanga run, damn this is hard enough just in plank but today I went down to chaturanga and did the first full 10sec running in place that low with out touching the floor, I was like YEAH BRING IT and I did not want to workout, OH MAN, I would have totally missed this.

The Lunge-Kickback-Curl-Press I used my 20s, even Tony says those are to ambitious, I was like I have impressed myself today, why not give it a try, so I did 10 with the 20s and oh man, they are a killer, and then I did the rest with nothing.

The Dreya Roll, I thought I was going to be able to get up today, so much good stuff happening I figured, cool I got this, and no LOL but this time I was able to get up a lot easier, just using one of my hands on the side while using the inertia and getting up a bit more smoothly, can’t wait till I can get up with no assistance.

And again Plank to Chaturanga, well it says I did 50sec, like last time but this time 20sec were down in chaturanga, yeah baby, I can get down low without touching the floor and stay there for 10sec at a time, that felt good, I started thinking, damn those slow motions push ups really do work for something LOL it was awesome.

Needless to say that even though I did not want to workout to begin with I ended up with one heck of a workout instead, YEAH BRING IT! So next time that you feel crappy and don’t want to workout, try anyways you might surprise yourself, I am very pleased with myself and that’s a really good feeling :o)

Tomorrow I have Kenpo X.

Thank you for your time:

Mike
