Day 3

Day 3 was focusing on my shoulers, traps, and arms. I was still feeling a bit of tightness from my Day 2 workout on my legs. The key once again was to make it to the gym before 6am. Today I was there around 5:40am and I decided to do my 20+ minutes of cardio.

I stepped onto the eliptical and did a jog / sprint approach. This meant that I did a 5 minute warmup going about 70% of my maximum and then I would do 60 seconds at a sprinting pace followed by 2 minutes of a jogging pace. My goal with this exercise is to do a 60 second split for the jog and sprint.

Since I missed Day 1 I'm going to miss my day off and go to the gym tomorrow. Consistency is the key.

Day 2

I woke up at about 5:30am and brushed my teeth before heading out the door. I started off with a typical 10minute warmup on the eliptical machine. I did Workout 2, so I was focusing on my legs and abs.

It felt like a huge accomplishment being able to make it to my workout first thing in the morning. A solid workout required a solid breakfast. I had a bowl of instant oats with raisins and 5 egg whites mixed with mushrooms. MMMMM!

We're back on track.

Day 1

I set the alarm the night before, but it didn't go off! That wasn't in the plan book. My goal was to get to the gym before 6am, but that didn't happen. I had to cut my losses and not take my Wednesday rest day.

Tomorrow will be better!
