William completing his fifth workout on Kickstart

Today, day five, the mental battle was self-inflicted.  I felt motivated to come home from work today and complete my workout.  I sat down and started doom-scrolling, almost wasting an entire hour! 

Anyway, I am still working with 30lbs.  In the first cycle, it felt like those beeps were coming quickly.  I am feeling a slight increase in my strength and endurance.  I did not cheat on any of my exercises and was in position from the first beep until the last.  The second cycle felt more strenuous.  I had to take a break between my second and third cycle, once again reminding myself that I had at least eight more minutes of work left in me.  My most significant gains are coming in my confidence.  This is the most consistent I’ve been with fitness in quite some time.  I gotta take it one three-minute round at a time, and I’ve got this!

    Crushed it. No skin on knuckles but crushed it. So quick to do. The trick is just doing it. For fragile knees (too much running in the past) this is such a great workout. Minimal space. The one piece of equipment. Simple. 

  • First one!

    Worked out 17/6. It was really hard (hot!). I purposely tried to do all the exercises correctly and to not keep stopping. I really felt it, but didn’t give up – amazingly. Next one Thursday!

    After a bit of a break, back again. Great – managed the full 9 cycles, just a few seconds over the 25 mins. Only one more to go Michael! — Steve
