Day 31 – Chest, Shoulders,& Triceps

Hey! I made it past my first 30 days! Guess I should take the next set of pictures. Don’t know that I’m ready to share results just yet. Way too much candy floating around lately. I think that may be the true curse of Halloween. We did do really good at not buying candy this year. But now we have kids who trick or treat despite being too young to eat the candy. Drat!

Happily, while I’m not seeing all the results I’d like to see, I am feeling more results. Today had a lot of push-ups and I was feeling pretty good about what I was able to do. One thing I really liked about today’s routine is that each exercise is done only once. No repeating sections. And there are many more moves for these areas that I would ever think up. It’s nice to have the variety; I never really felt there was this much variety when I did routines at the gym. Maybe the trainers I got were just not that creative. One of my favorite tricep moves from today uses a weight to do a throwing motion starting at the shoulder with the elbow up. One of those fun “pretending to play a sport” moves. Sometimes my imaginary throws even hit their target.

Another result I’m feeling is that my legs are sore today. I guess back to back days of Cardio X followed by Plyo will do that. Sometime I’ll have to get out for a run and see how all this is improving my abilities. Maybe a Turkey Trot?

Amazingly 4:30 didn’t seem that early today. We’ll see how tomorrow is after the trick of treating tonight. Could be a later night than any of us want.
