A belated Happy Birthday to you

@Maegaranthelas

Another good day:-

Universal Warmup done,
30 Seconds Single Leg Hops (EotD) attempted (I did Side-to-Side Hops),
No Mercy (WotD) done (3 sets, I find Turning Kicks are tough on the old knees, so did 1 set with them and 2 with Side Kicks),
Day 29 of Power HIIT done (3 sets),
Day 11 of Daily HIIT done,
Stretched done.

Spent a chunk of yesterday tidying up my "To read / watch" pile, discovered I've got about 200 books and 300 DVD's to get through , gotta cut back on picking up random things until I've put a decent dent in the pile, before I really start going down that Hoarder path.
See y'all tomorrow!

 

[Maegaranthelas]

See, I'm going to avoid that feeling by not counting my books

 

[aku-chan]

@Maegaranthelas - Yeah, I regret counting mine.

Not a great day so far, did a bit of exercising but the Housemate has soured my mood, and I just couldn't be bothered to do any more:-

Universal Warmup done,
60 Seconds Raised Arms Hold (EotD) done,
Soft Girl attempted (1 set),
Day 30 of Power HIIT attempted (1 set),

Going to save everything and give it another go tomorrow.
Did have a Farmers Market to go to today, but I think I'll just go back to bed, see y'all tomorrow!

 

[aku-chan]

Did better with my second attempt:-

Universal Warmup done,
60 Seconds Side Jacks (EotD) done (In one go),
Soft Girl done (3 sets),
Day 30 of Power HIIT done (3 sets, all done!),
Days 12 and 13 of Daily HIIT done (Urgh... Doing a double day is a lot harder than it looks),
Morning Mobility.

Really enjoyed doing Power HIIT (Although I'm not too sure I'm doing the whole HIIT thing right), so I'm going to stick with HIIT programs for now, see y'all tomorrow!

(Went to give myself the Power HIIT badge and I've already got one, totally don't remember doing the program before!)

 

[JCU]

Congratulations on Power HIIT! Even as a repeat!

(Went to give myself the Power HIIT badge and I've already got one, totally don't remember doing the program before!)

it is so completely me, that i double check if i already complete something before starting it. Even if it is not a pb to repeat. Good job

 

[MadamMeow]

Congrats for Power HIIT!

 

[Lady Celerity]

congrats on Power HIIT!

 

[Maegaranthelas]

Hihi, well congrats on it anyway, even if it's a repeat

 

[Fremen]

Congrats

 

[aku-chan]

Thanks! @JCU @graoumia @MadamMeow @Lady Celerity @Maegaranthelas @Fremen - Going to check I haven't already done something before I start from now on!

Hard old workout today:-

Universal Warmup done,
50 Knee Strikes (EotD) done (In one go),
Moxie (WotD) done (3 sets),
Day 1 of Combat HIIT done (5 sets),
Day 14 of Daily HIIT done.

The sunny spring has gone, the much more usual rainy spring is here
See y'all tomorrow!

 

[TopNotch]

Going to check I haven't already done something before I start from now on!

But if you enjoyed it, what's wrong with doing it again?

 

[Mamatigerj]

Cheers for Power HIIT!

 

[aku-chan]

@Mamatigerj

@TopNotch - But I don't get a precious badge if I repeat things.

Another day done:-

Universal Warmup done,
20 Burpees (EotD) attempted (I tried, I got 5 done but it took so much time!),
Hot Potato (WotD) done (3 sets),
Day 2 of Combat HIIT done (3 sets, did these with Inclined Push-Ups so I wasn't wasting time getting up and down),
Day 15 of Daily HIIT done,
Morning Mobility done.

We've started getting Seagulls in the garden, it's hilarious watching a bird with a four foot wingspan try to balance on our teeny-tiny bird feeders, although it's less funny when they fly off with an entire suet-filled coconut shell you just put out .
See y'all tomorrow!

 

[aku-chan]

Took a rest day yesterday, woke up with tired, old bones.
Back at it today :-

Universal Warmup done,
60 Seconds Backfists (EotD) done (In one go),
Cardio Combat (WotD) done (3 sets),
Day 3 of Combat HIIT done (5 sets),
Day 16 of Daily HIIT done,
Morning Mobility done.

Finished the first book of the Thrawn Trilogy, still have the same problem I had with the character when he was in Rebels though, he's just too hyper-competent to be a main antagonist (And the whole "I know how an entire species thinks by studying their art" thing is silly). But I did enjoy the book overall and will continue with the next two.
Going to finally finish watching Swamp Thing first though.
See y'all tomorrow!

 

[aku-chan]

Another day done:-

Universal Warmup done,
30 Squats (EotD) done (In one go),
Here Be Dragons (WotD) done (3 sets),
Day 4 of Combat HIIT done (3 sets. Ab day, my most hated of days, the last set was a real struggle),
Day 17 of Daily HIIT done.

See y'all tomorrow!
