Week 1 - Day 3

"A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at." - Bruce Lee

I felt really sore and kinda weak this morning due to a bad night of, or lack of, sleep. Plus I started earlier today because my wife had to have the truck to go to work today.

The 20min cardio seemed a but rough this morning. I couldn't get my heart rate up tp where I wanted it till I was about 5 minutes in to it. Finally, I finished with a 129 average AHR.

The weights started rough, but I felt pretty good after the first circuit. The start of the second all of the sudden was like "OMG!!! Where did my strength go???" I almost went to muscle failure on the Squat, Curl Press - and that's the first exercise!! I pushed through all 3 rounds though.

I did notice that the Lateral Raises were better and stronger today. Made it through both circuits and only fought with the last round.

Still very awkward with the ball and the Leg Curls. The kneeling push-ups were better today. seemed harder to complete the rounds during the first circuit, but I finished the 2nd pretty strong, but still not ready for the Military Push-Up for all 6 rounds.

I can remember the day when I could do 60-70 push-ups in 2 minutes, and be upset that I didn't do more. I've got a long way to go.

Tomorrow, the dreaded added 3rd circuit.

  1. Richie, My father is 62 years old and complains ALL the time about his injuries from exercise. But he's a light weight, he only exercises three to five hours a day. If your sore it means that you are pushing yourself to where you need to be. Just remember: if it was easy, everyone would be doing it.
