We'll see if the table copies in... (nope, that would have just been too easy)

The morning was 2 x 30-min sessions on the treadmill. In the afternoon I did a 15-min warm-up on the treadmill, followed by:

A: Barbell Squat - BW/15, 10/15
B1: Push-up (using 60-degree) - 15, 15
B2: Bent-over Row - 10/15, 15/15
C1: Step-up - BW/15, 10/15
C2: Prone Jackknife - 8, 8

Followed by another 15 mins on the treadmill, just because I think I'm a masochist.

It was easier and harder than I thought. I’m not used to the squat, so they’re just hard. Adding a little weight isn’t too bad, but I suspect this will be tougher as I add weight. The bent-over row is easy, so the weights shouldn’t be hard to add. The prone jackknife is a total disaster. You put your shins up on an exercise ball, stand on your hands, and in theory roll the ball towards your hands while tucking your knees in. This is the point where I fall off the freakin’ ball. Over the next 11 sessions (12 in all including today) I suspect I’ll get slightly better at this, but then again, maybe not. I’m not looking forward to the swiss-ball crunch on Wednesday. I’ll have to make sure there is nothing I can crack my head on if I fall off the ball! I’m actually thinking that maybe taking a little air out of the ball might help my balance at the beginning. We’ll see how it goes on Wed and Fri before I decide.

So, at this point I’m tired, I’m sore, and really tired of falling on the floor. However, I’m done… and I decide I might as well finish off another 15-mins on the treadmill. Well, I survived it, and my afternoon snack was never so deserved, or desired.
