I don't know...maybe I was having an off day but my "maximum reps" were pretty minimal on several things. Some things that come to mind are the Sphinx Push Ups, Prison Cell Push Ups, Plank Run (didn't even attempt the Chaturanga Run), Walking Push Ups, Superman Banana, Reach High & Under Push Ups, Plank to Chaturanga Iso...actually now that I'm typing this out, it is really the push up maneuvers that were killing me. By the end of the workout, I was spent...I could only do a hand full of Table Dip Leg Raises.
I had to work out in the morning to be able to mow the lawn in the afternoon. But after today, I'm moving my whole routine to the afternoons. I think I am having a problem really concentrating and pushing myself that early in the morning.
The bummer about today's workout is that it is only repeated 6 times during the entire 90 days. So I feel like if I dogged it out today, I'm really losing out. Oh well, we'll see how I do the next time (which is Monday).
A few things I learned...
- It was really a great idea to go through the workout first last night before doing it. That really helped.
- A paper plate works well for the walking push ups
- I didn't write anything down on the workout sheet. There was so little time between routines and it was too hard to keep track of reps...I just did as many as I could in the time allotted. I may make some notes though.
- Use light weights. There is no reason to use anything super heavy. I think I only used 10 pounds when required and that seemed too much on some of the exercises.
Added scan of workout sheet below with some minimal notes as to the exercises I felt OK about and the weight I used on the exercises.
