Day Fifteen: "Progress"



Finished my workout today and came back upstairs to my apartment in time to catch the sunset. One thing I love about my place is the view. Mount Fuji, the skyscrapers of Shinjuku, and great sunsets. Today's workout felt as good as watching the sunset did. I broke down the 800 jumps into blocks of 100 with twenty second breaks in between. I got through each block of 100 in two attempts, i.e., only tripping once per 100 and thus averaging fifty jumps per attempt. Unlike yesterday when I went as long as I could without stopping (up to 150 jumps), I didn't end up winding myself and was able to finish my whole set in about ten minutes. Progress is a wonderful thing.

For some reason today, I was tired and a bit lethargic. The jumps were fine, but I struggled a little with the strength exercises, such as the push-ups. I never have problems with them, but was just low in energy. Hopefully it's just a one day thing.

I took a couple of photos in my workout gear today. Mostly just identifying my problem areas that I hope to focus on in particular. I thought these show a little more of the problem than the weekly photos, which I will take tomorrow. Too much gut, nothing in the chest.
