I'm starting to love my Friday beatings.
I swear the trainers are worse on Friday's than any other day during the week!
Today I got to work out with Rudy. When I walked in and was all settled, he came over to get started. I looked at him and said "oh, are you ready for me?" He nodded. I then said "Well, I'm not so sure I'm ready for you!" We both giggled and got on with it.
Today was another "first" for me. Rudy thought it would be a good idea to try something similar to this:
It wasn't as pretty as that though. I guarantee it. I hate getting into the plank position to begin with. I'm always afraid I'm going to collapse (never have, so I should get over it already). I didn't tap my shoulder though. I was supposed to tap my hands but I didn't really have the strength to get "that far" so Rudy held his hand right next to mine so I just had to hold my body up on one arm long enough to tap his hand. I (just barely) was able to complete 10 reps on each side. Oye! That was rough, but I did it!
The scale was stable this week. No loss. No gain. I'd like to lose 5 pounds by November 1st. If I get back to walking on the treadmill on my "off" days and eating better, I think I can do it! Here goes nothing.
Any variation on plank pose scares me! The video makes it look so easy! Well done on completing the exercise - I may give it a try as a challenge.
ReplyDeleteYou've got 11 days until Nov. 1st. Focus and you can do it! :)
Holy crap that looks hard!
ReplyDeleteUmmm....yeah...it is! I was thanking the Good Lord that I wasn't on the Biggest Loser because I would have had to do way more than 10 taps each side. I cried. Like a baby. :)
