Exercise - Mar 28th, 2008
The morning was 2 x 30-min sessions on the treadmill. In the afternoon I did a 15-min warm-up on the treadmill, followed by:
| Sets | Reps | Set 1 | Set 2 | |
| A: Barbell Squat | 2 | 12 | 30/12 | 35/12 |
| B1: Push-up (using 45-degree) | 2 | 12 | 12 | 12 |
| B2: Seated Row (Bent-over Row) | 2 | 12 | 35/12 | 40/12 |
| C1: Step-up | 2 | 12 | 5e/12 | 7e/12 |
| C2: Prone Jackknife | 2 | 10 | 10 | 10 |
Where there is a single number that confirms that I did the number of reps called for. Where there are two numbers the first is the amount of weight I used, followed by reps.
Followed with another 15 mins on the treadmill. I think I’ve reached a bit of a turning point today. The workouts are tough, so much so that at times I’m not sure I can finish them. However, I’m seeing shorter recovery times after I’m finished now. I’m still really dragging myself to finish those last 15 minutes. Particularly since I tend to end the prone jackknife set pretty much collapsed on the floor. It would be so nice to just stay there for a while. However, 30 minutes out, having had my post workout snack, I’m not feeling too bad. So this means either I’m not working out hard enough, or I’m getting marginally better at it. 
Oh, and I manged to do the first set of the prone jackknife without falling off the ball! I still need to work on the form, but it feels like a small victory.
