Good morning! Wow, September... Where did August go? The good news for me in August is that I actually made the 500 push up/pullup challenge! I can now do 1 unassisted pullup again, and last night I managed 6 kipping pullups before dropping into a heap on the floor.
Mel, what would your challenge have been, hmm?
Alena - hope you slept better last night!
Fran - welcome back! The pound increments sound like a good plan to me.
Midwife -
on making it to the gym after all that!
I had a really great workout last night, IMO. I am a believer on that 'recovery period' at this point. My heart rate got to where I expected again, I held form better, and I slept really well last night. I did wake up with icky tummy this morning, so planning cardio for after work... probably some kickboxing and some time on the elliptical. Icky tummy and treadmill don't mix well for me, especially when it is already a struggle to exercise in the morning!
