Today’s workout had lots of upper body exercises. It had some of most everything that I’ve done with my arms and upper body. It was a pretty decent workout today, and managed to show me just how far I have come with the program. This would have been a very hard workout to complete a month ago, when I started it. Since I’ve been keeping up with it, though, the exercises are becoming much easier to complete.
So, after a break for day 18, came days 19 and 20 and the workouts were not just difficult, they were really hard! And I’m on Medium Intensity, mind you. I’m thinking that, when this is complete, I will start again, but on the lighter intensity mode, and do that one while also starting another fitness regime on top of that.
This morning’s workout was definitely a very accelerated pace from prior workouts. From the fast kick-ups over long distances, to running, to squats, it seemed to be a continuous battle to get to the end of some of the workouts. Making it to the end, though, was worth it every time, though my arms and legs are starting to feel much tighter. I’m looking forward to the break tomorrow.
Last September, we asked you what your favorite medical tv shows are. By far, the number one voted show is House, as of this writing. Those of you that love House will probably be pleased to learn that there will be a new video game based on the show. Read on!
Today’s challenge was the first of the accelerated pace of the 30 Day Challenge, coming after a one day break. It sure didn’t feel like that, but I guess they’re going to work it up to that promise. There were some exercises that did push me to the limits, but overall, it left me kinda disappointed. I didn’t seem to sweat as much as prior days. Perhaps that’s because I’ve aquired a sweatband, and look very 80s now, I don’t know.

After a short break of a day, the previous two days of exercise had me sweating really heavily. Not to mention they brought me up to the halfway mark on the 30 day challenge! That’s ten workouts out of the set for the thirty day period.
Now that I’m back on schedule, hopefully I won’t mess up too bad and miss any more days. One thing I did mess up on is setting really super high goals to meet. I thought that I was just moving the goals to a further amount, in calories and in number of workouts in so many days. So I set a goal of 3000 calories. Big mistake. At my current rate, I’ll make that goal but not before the date that goal should be reached. Ah well, something to think about as far as interface design in the future, EA Sports.
Today’s workout featured a run that never seemed to end. I was really tired by the end of it, and after that were lunges. Lunges are still very difficult for me, but curiously I started to notice them becoming easier to complete.
This time around there were a couple of sports in the mix. Volleyball and tennis. I did really well at the Volleyball, and I think I’ve figured out how the sports work. If your timing is right and your technique as well, you’ll hit the target. If neither one is right or either one is off a bit, then you’ll miss. With Tennis, I put that to the test, as the first round I did really well.. but then I lost my rhythm and did really bad.
It’s been a pretty busy week, since the last workout, so in order to complete the 30 day challenge on time and correctly, I had to do some heavy workouts. I missed three days of workouts, and as a result, I wasn’t going to be able to meet my goals for the challenge. So I did what any sensible person would do, and spent the afternoon doing three workouts in a row. I decided that I’d do yesterday’s workout today, which I’ll be doing sometime soon.
