One of my 36 things is getting in shape so in the past few days I have been working very had at this. Ok, not that hard, but working out for about 15 minutes a day, at home with no equipment, because that is definitely the best way to do it, right?
I'm just starting out with the basics for now because I am about as out of shape as a kettle is black.....or something.
So the first night I focused on pushups and managed to do 20. Not consecutively, but managed to get it done.
Last night I tried to do a more rounded workout. Managed 10 pushups, 30 situps and 20 squats before my body screamed profanities and threatened to shut down.
Tonight I did the same "exercises" and managed 20 pushups (consecutively) 37 situps and 20 squats. I tried to do one more squat and literally fell over, so I thought I should probably stop.
I was sore all day and every time I moved my abs felt like death so I was not looking forward to tonight but it actually hurts less tonight than it did last night so hopefully that is a good sign.
It is always hard to type because my arms are so heavy when I get finished, but I feel like laying down and dying afterwards is counter-productive.
The food I am craving immediately afterward is probably counter-productive as well.
So that's where I am today. Feels like I'll never get to where I want to be, but I'm headed in the right direction for once.
