William after workout number three of his Kickstart

Day three was the most difficult mentally so far.  I was feeling lazy today and did not want to do it.  I had to remind myself that I’m an adult and sometimes we do what we need to do, not what we want to do.  As soon as I completed that last lunge, it felt all worth it.  That’s why I’m writing this down, to remind myself of this feeling when it is complete.  The boost in pride, self-esteem, and trust in myself…it’s worth it.  I bumped my weight up to 30lbs.  My hands were screaming by the second cycle.  I think I’ll stick with 30lbs for a bit.  I still haven’t completed a workout in 25 minutes, oh, but it’s coming.

Hey William – I love the mental switch you made 💪 It’s always worth it when you’re finished! It’s great that you’re thinking about pushing yourself already too – Steve, @miniworkoutdad

    Wow, what a workout!  I started with 25lbs, thinking I was being conservative.  My hands are smoked (in a good way)!  If grip strength is tied to longevity, my hands were telling me I didn’t have much time left!  It took me about 26:30 minutes to complete 3 cycles.  I had to rewind a couple…

    Wow, very tough, but I managed 8 sets ( more than last time). Form is probably not great but weight seemed lighter

    Much cooler now. But a tough one. Maybe because I was drinking wine last night?
