Fri 15/2 – Nightly Workout 14: #5

As I said in my previous post today, I rolled a 5. That is:

• 8 Crunches (hold at top for 3 seconds)
• 8 V-Ups
• 10 Sets

I forgot to time it, although I did it non-stop (with no rest). By the end my core was hurting a bit and I had a very slight sweat, but nothing more. However, my neck was hurting again. I think I know why – each rep (all 160 of them) made me bend my neck fairly far forward, without being able to bend backwards. It’s nothing much though, it’ll go soon.

Well, there we have it. The first 2 weeks of daily workout over, and it has really worked for motivation. I’m now half looking forward to working out, to challenging myself, especially with pushups, heavy bag work and rope work. Tonight I’m probably going to plan some stuff to do tomorrow. I’m thinking sledgehammering.

And with that I say goodbye to that set of nightly workouts, and hello to a new one! More tomorrow.

Fri 15/2 – General update

I have a few new things to tell you about, so thought I’d do a general update post rather than combine it with my workout posts.

Firstly, today I planned my new nightly workouts. Tonight will be my last night of the current system. For those who are interested, I rolled a 5, but that post will come later. As for the new workout list, I’m not going to post them up until tomorrow. I’ll tell you that it contains 2 core days, 3 strength/conditioning days and one random day, like last time. I’m not including any noisy jumping exercises however, so no burps or burpees. I think my new routines are pretty good though.

This bit is completely off-topic, but I rung up Aria about my new PC this morning. As some of you may know, I ordered some components for my new PC, but the motherboard didn’t work and I had to return it. And, so far it’s been 2 weeks and nothing. Last night I found out they’d only just found it in their warehouse. I rung up today to complain, but they said it was in the testing department, and would be tested today (as far as I’m aware, it hasn’t been), or Monday. If found faulty, a new one would be sent by next day delivery, meaning I SHOULD have it all my Tuesday. At last!

Also today I made a new computer desk. I’ve been meaning to make one for ages, so I could have my PC on one and do written work (e.g. school work) on another. It took me a few hours to make, and isn’t very accurate (some things off my 1/2″ or so), but it works fine and doesn’t make much difference. It was cheap, so I’m happy. And it’s strong, and the top is nice, so I don’t mind if it’s not perfect.
