Workout wasn’t so bad today. I really need those weights I’m getting for my birthday though.  Only 25 days left to go! I bought a bike off my brothers and fixed it u[ yesterday and got a lock etc. It’s in the back garden now. I’l be able to ride it into the town centre, to Mums, Dads, Nathans, Jordons and mabe even work when I get a job. We’ll see.  All that I’m bothered about is that it will get me some more exercise.

My form today was

My hands kept on slipping on the rock but I’m pretty pleased with this workout. Diffculty 6/10. Will get to ride my bike today to my Dads for the United game at 17:30.

Tomorrow is running. I might hold weights in my hands whilst running to see what it feels like. Either way it should be interesting. 15 minutes as far as I can go.

Not a bad day today. I can’t tell if the difficulty is getting easier or I’m not pushing myself hard enough. I can’t wait for those weights. They will make a huge difference. I don’t feel comfortable unless I’m challenging myself, it just feels like a repetitive chore otherwise.

Difficulty 6/10

Form

• Sit-ups – 10
• Planks – All

For the sit-ups I held 2*2.3kg weights across my chest so that increased the resistance a little bit.

When I do sit-ups in the future when I have my dumbbells I can hold a weight plate on my chest to increase resistance. Maybe I could even buy a resistance band for this too. On Sunday when I have my run, I’m going to run with the 2.3kg weights in my hands to see if I can get some arm workout on the way too. Kinda all feeling a bit too easy at the moment. Maintenance but not growth.

Form so far for Day 1, 5, 8, 12 & today respectivel

Sit-Ups – 8, 11, 10, 10, 10*

Planks – All Completed

*with 2 x 2.3kg resistance.

I can definitely safely increase the resistance here. There is no point doing 40 sit-ups at low resistance. I’d rather do 5-15 at a lower rep count but higher weight. 26 days until my birthday. Argh!

Tomorrow is an Arms workout. They usually test me quite a lot.
