Day 77: Rivers of sweat

Decided I needed maximum fat burn today so hopped out of bed with my very, very weary body and trot-skipped around the block multiple times. Have changed my venue to the block outside the back door instead of the front door for a change of scene. Very hot, lots more skips but then we have 3 minutes extra.... and absolutely rivers of sweat. Stings the eyes.

Off to the pool with the kids where I will swim laps. Have charged my iShuffle so that I can listen to tunes whilst I swim. Hope that my arms and legs don't fall off like they feel they are going to now.

Day 76: Trot, trot, trot

Trotted around the block a number of times. MUCH better. Only negative was that I seem to whack myself in the back of the head with the rope rather than trip over the rope. It hurts. But a higher number of rotations and significantly less frustration.

Was treating myself to a lazy morning so only skipped and did the workout just past 6pm. Whilst my body was warm and well fed it also failed more quickly than I would have liked on some of the exercises.... those that I was able to do better even the last time I did them, namely elevated tricep dips and incline pull-ups. I am hoping that is a good sign and the muscles are still shredded from last time. I certainly feel shredded.

I tried to use my staircase for a kung fu sit up again and ended up not even being able to hang on. At least the last time I could at least dangle myself. What is wrong with me?
