Today was another tough day to get started. However, the beauty of this program is that I only need to commit to 25 minutes. I came home from work, took an unplanned nap while still in my work clothes, and woke up knowing I had some unfinished business with my 30-pound sandbag.
I did a couple of things differently today. I played music during my workout this time, but surprisingly, I didn’t enjoy it. I felt like it affected my concentration. Being that I haven’t exercised consistently in four years, I am finding the sound of my exertion enjoyable. I set a timer for 26 minutes and completed all three cycles with about 6 seconds to spare. So I’m proud of myself for hitting all three cycles. I was ready to stop after the second round in cycle 3, but when I saw on my timer that there were about three minutes left, I told myself, “I have 3 minutes of work left in me!” I will admit, I cheated about 8 seconds total in this workout. I’ll do better next time, we all will.
You started your second week William – that’s fantastic! I always say the best way to approach it is this: 1 cycle at a time; one run through the video at a time; one workout at a time; one week at a time. Best not to think ahead – you only bring the suffering to mind and it’s worse in your head than in reality. By my last cycle, I’m thinking one phase at a time! — Steve, @miniworkoutdad
