Today is day 991.
Classic warm up
Lots of things were stiff from yesterday's weights, so in keeping with the idea that the best thing for DOMS is to get the stiff muscles moving again, I did the Peach workout today. 3 sets of 20 reps per leg (40 reps total) each on the leg extensions, swings, and side leg extensions. 2 sets 10 of the glute flexes, because I have no idea if I'm doing them right despite my best efforts. 3 sets 20 reps per leg (40 reps total) of lying-on-my-side leg lifts and clamshells. 3 sets 20 reps of V leg extensions.
21:11, so that's 2 for the week.Leave a comment:

Today is day 989.
Classic warm up
19 lbs, one arm dumbbell rows, 4 sets 8 reps per arm

this is 22 minutes 3 seconds and since I have not yet done my survey for the week, and will probably be doing my exercises before the survey for a while now that we're moving into pre-6-PM sunsets, I am going to count this as four days of 20+ minutes sweat/hard breathing inducing exercise for the weekLeave a comment:

Today is day 981. I am hoping to get out on my bike later, but no guarantees, so in the meantime:
Classic warm up
Epic Arms, 17 lbs per hand, but (20 alternating bicep curls + 40 punches) x5 rather than 10+20... so EC, I guess
Not yet at 20 minutes for survey purposes but if I can get out on the bike it'll count

September 28 was day 971. 100 punches. Too much rain and thunderstorm activity to ride a bike. Also it was my annual mammogram screening day which takes a certain amount of desire to do physical things out of the picture.

September 22nd was day 965. 150 punches before bed. I've been kinda low on sleep lately and haven't had quite the enthusiasm to get myself on the bike after work if the weather isn't fully cooperative.
September 23rd was day 966. 100 punches.
I'm hoping to at least get myself to do Epic Arms at lunchtime today. I finished a satisfactory second muslin yesterday and the next step in that particular project involves tracing out all the pattern pieces and cutting a LOT of fiddly little bits of paper (cargo shorts) so I'm probably going to exercise first.Leave a comment:
