I did it – 30-Day challenge completed and not a single day missed; well, I switched around my last day so that it wasn’t an off day.  Not only did I complete all my movements; I even did my 3min Plank test.  I definitely have a much stronger core than when I started and I got it done by sticking to my program.  Specifics: Did 10mins on the elliptical (15° incline @ ~80spm) and alternated between resistance 1 and 2 for the first 10mins and then alternated every 5mins thereafter.  I broke and did my 3.0min Plank test first and then the rest of the movement (30x) following each 10min session.  I really felt drained after that.  All in all, this was a really great challenge and I would do it again.  I feel much stronger now and so will do a bit of sculpting in the next phase.  Much grats to Jason for holding me down through the whole thing.  I will take off through this weekend to get the muscles some much needed rest and then start my climb.  I think I will start will smaller ones first and then work up to Everest though.  Really proud of myself; this was really a great accomplishment – YEAH!  That’s it for today… Good livin’…just keep on movin’.

Pretty good day today.  Spreading out the movement with the run with very little break in between helped to get through the workout quicker.   Just one more day to go in this phase.  Not sure if I want to take off too many day in between the next phase.  I was able to hit by 2.5min Plank today – phew! Tomorrow I will have to make 3.0mins.  Specifics: Did 10mins on the elliptical (15° incline @ ~80spm), broke and did Plank (2.5min), repeated elliptical every 10mins though the rest of the movements (40x ea.) and ended with Crunches.   Stayed pretty loyal to Jason through this whole affair, we will see in the next phase.  That’s it for today… Good livin’…just keep on movin’.

Really tough workout out today, primarily because I sort of did it on a full stomach.  So went to Golden Coral and had my fill.  I wanted to get in my workout early, so I thought I could just squeeze it in; oh no…almost had to stop.  I was able to get in everything, except a full Plank.  I just fell apart; my stomach just felt heavy and the discomfort forced me to stop at 1min.  I tried to push again, but had to stop at the 1min mark again.  The fact of the matter is that I have two more days to make the 3min plank and I will do it. Specifics: Did 20min climb on the treadmill (level 5 (12mph), pyramid up every min by 0.5° until I got to 5° and then work back down). I then broke and did 40x Pushups and Leg Raises. I followed with 20mins on the treadmill in similar fashion as before.  This was followed by my Plank attempts, as mentioned before, 40x Situps and Crunches.  I then did my final 20mins on the Treadmill and then finished off with 40 Squats.  My Ipod ran out of juice today with under a minute to go, but Jason did the trick for the most part up to that point. That’s it for today… Good livin’…just keep on movin’.

Sort of a blah workout.  I was supposed to do 40s but I did 50s instead – no worries though.  The Plank was tough, but I was able to push through to the 150secs as the day called for.  I promised that I will get to day 29 doing my 3sec Plank.  Specifics: Did my 150sec Planks and 50x Pushups, Leg Raises, Crunches, Situps and Squats.  I then broke and did my 60min elliptical at 15° incline and alternated resistance between level 1 and 2 every 5mins.  Continue to rock Jason along with a bit of Zumba today again. That’s it for today… Good livin’…just keep on movin’.

Narrative: (Duration – 81 mins) →  My Nike Link
Really painful workout today because I had a crick neck from last night.  Moving back into the 40s helped though.  One thing that kicked my butt was the Plank.  I thought I could just move from 2min to 3min plank, but no can do.  At any rate, I was able to get to 140 seconds.   Specifics: Did not get to 180 sec Plank (got to 140 and died) and 40x Pushups, Leg Raises and Squats.  I then broke and did my 30min elliptical at 15° incline and alternated resistance between 1 and 2 every 5mins. I then broke and did my 40x Situps and Crunches and finished up on the elliptical in similar fashion.  Still rocking Jason, also dropped in a bit of Zumba today again. That’s it for today… Good livin’…just keep on movin’.
