Unto the Breach (At Least Once More...)

[wjs]

I am so not ready for February from a workout standpoint. No challenge selected and I haven't set up my daily workouts, on top of the incredible amount of exceptions I have coming for the month, given a friend being here for an EDM show late in the month and Sunday being inventory, which will go very late into the night.

The workout
Push-Ups to failure: 6
Punch Up Challenge Day 30, two minutes Overhead Punches with no rest
Unbound, Day 30
Square One, Day 30 at Level 3 with thirty seconds rest

I am so not ready for February from a workout standpoint.

You can do this!

 

[wjs]

Thank you, @MangoTux, @graoumia, @Fremen, and @Laura Rainbow Dragon for the congratulations. @Dyneti, it's not that I'm not ready for February, it's that all the work I need to do to prepare my workouts for the month have not been completed. At least I have a challenge picked out*, as seen below.

The workout
Elbow Plank to failure: 00:01:42 -- About the 1:40 mark, my Achilles tendon suddenly had a sharp pain despite no indication of a problem before that point. I could have gone longer if that had not happened.

Inventory last night, I didn't return home until 0100 this morning. Still at work about 0730 this morning. I'm tired, but here I am. The earlier post was actually yesterday's workout that apparently didn't quite post in my haste yesterday before heading to the store.

Beekeeper at Level 1

The workout
Elbow Plank to failure: 00:02:00

One hour of Steady State Cardio? Hah, no, more like twelve minutes. No pain, no exhaustion, just a general... malaise, I guess.

 

[wjs]

The workout
High Knees to failure: 00:00:32 -- Ankle, as usual, but I don't think I was going to get too much further based on exhaustion.

Back & Core at level 1

Knee Push-Ups to failure: 17
One & Done: Butt Kicks, Day 9
Ten minutes in the Pits wielding a jo








*I suppose I'm saying I'm surprised I wasn't stopped by ankle pain and, therefore, that I did what appears to be my best duration on High Knees as a result.

 

[PetiteSheWolf]

Glad your ankle cooperated!

 

[wjs]

I was also glad for that, @PetiteSheWolf.

The workout
Elbow Plank to failure: 00:02:10
One & Done: Butt Kicks, Day 10
One hour of Steady State Cardio... Well, about 25:30, give or take. Knee and ankle acting up, which should be no surprise.

[wjs]

I'm not sure what I did today, but something is messed up in my knee. No, not the previously injured one, the good one. Walking now has occasional moments of surprise pain. Not fun.

The workout

One & Done: Butt Kicks, Day 16
Ten minutes in the Pits with a knife

 

[wjs]

The workout

Butt & Gut

 

[wjs]

Small hiccup: there was apparently a small fire in one of the ground floor apartments this evening, just before I was originally planning on working out. Set me back by about an hour.

In other news, I'm beginning to learn my limitations with respect to the knee damage(?) I sustained Sunday. Among other actions I have yet to fully understand how they affect my knee, tiptoeing is definitely a cause of pain, much more often than not.

Push-Ups to failure: 7
One & Done: Butt Kicks, Day 18
Prowler at level 1

 

[PetiteSheWolf]

Glad you were safe from that fire.

 

[wjs]

I appreciate the concern, @PetiteSheWolf. I am glad the fire was very minor, but may have been in the laundry room, because there was a text sent out this morning that one of the washers needs to be repaired.

[PetiteSheWolf]

And if they have driers, those can be really sneaky fire rrisks...

 

[wjs]

So, it's been a while. I had a friend staying at my place because of an EDM show in Minneapolis. Good times were had, especially Saturday when we were at the Rezz appearance at the Armory and we stayed at a very nice hotel near the venue overnight so we didn't have to drive back at 0130. I didn't have an opportunity to work out during this time, so tonight was tough. I kept where I was at with respect to the exercise rotation and One & Done but advanced to my workout for today as the main workout.

The workout
High Knees to failure: 00:00:34
One & Done: Butt Kicks, Day 20

It was supposed to be One hour of Steady State Cardio tonight, but I barely had the energy for what did get done... I don't feel that good about it, but it's what was needed tonight.

 

[wjs]

Tomorrow I'm switching over to the Ten program and adding 2-Minute Mobility. One & Done will fall off when I complete it in about a week.
