Have I failed?
May 30, 2009No, because the only way to fail is to give up.
Instead, I have had a setback. Late last week I became sick and this past weekend, my family and I went camping. I feel in my sickness, I didn’t push myself as hard as I usually do and in camping, I ate my fair share of junk food.
The workout for Week 4 was circuits – 4 exercises in 2 rounds for 3 sets:
Circuit #1:
Squat & Press (15 lbs-12 reps) /Band Pushup (15 rep) / Band Lunges (15 each side) / Negative Pullups
Circuit #2:
DB Squat (25lbs-12 reps) / Band Press (15 reps) / Hip Bridge (15 reps) / Band Row (15 reps)
Circuit #3:
Plank (45 sec) / Burpies w/ pushup (15 reps) / Mountain Climbers (15 each side) / Squat Jumps (15 reps)
Each circuit was done twice with as little rest as possible between each exercise and approx. 1 minute rest between sets. I had skipped Monday because we came back from camping on that day so my first day to do this workout was Wednesday. However, on Wednesday, I feel that I was still feeling out what I was doing and I was not pleased with my performance on that day. Friday I was a little better with still massive room for improvement, so I have decided to repeat Week 4. This time, I will use a band with more resistance and try not to rest so much in between exercises.
Below are the pictures after Week 4:
There really isn’t much improvement but I am not giving up! The next time I post, it will be after Week 8! Alright!
Okay, I will keep you updated about my progress!
