Today was a fantastic workout and I really felt the strain towards the end of both rounds. I did a little mix up today and did 15 sit ups with 5 seconds up then 5 seconds down with no weight and no break and just about completed them all.  I get a little back pain and need to improve my form whilst doing sit-ups.

After than I did planks. I aimed for 20 seconds of doing a plank and then 10 seconds rest, similar to Tabata. I aimed to do 15 of these without rest in total but got through 4 mins 30 secs which is 9 planks.

Difficulty was 9/10. I actually felt my current physical limit and it felt great.

5 second planks – 9/15

5 second Sit-ups – 15/15

I really enjoyed this workout. Tomorrow is Arms.

Today was a good workout. I’d give it difficulty of about 7/10. I did squats and calf raises whilst holding a 25kg barbell across the back of my shoulders and continued with the 5-second incline and decline and it felt great.

My form was

• Squats – 15
• Calf Raises – 15

It feels like a good workout and I think I’ll maintain this weight for leg workouts for a while until I get settled and get my own weights. Feeling pretty good today and my legs feel really tight and strong. I had an avocado, kiwi fruit and a large orange for breakfast with some toast. Tomorrow is an Abs workout, I predict good things for the 5 second incline/decline on the abs days.
