Day 6
50 Supermans

I thought it was going to be easy. Fewer reps! No crunches! No intense cardio! I was wrong. Had to take a break in the middle of both the Supermans set and the Squats set. And my quads are really feeling it.

Day 7
3×60 second Plank | 200 Jumping Jacks

I knew the planks would be rough, but I thought I could handle the jumping jacks. Turns out 200 is a lot. Alternating helped, one plank, 100 jumping jacks, another plank, 100 more jumping jacks, the last plank. But I still felt it. In my calves, especially…but I don’t know how much of that is from the running and calf exercises I did the day before.

Day 8
50 Donkey Kicks | 100 Bicycle Crunches

It was kind of awful. Those crunches, man…those crunches. And to make things worse, I don’t know what it means to do 100 bicycle crunches. Is that total crunches? To err on the side of caution, I did 100 “sets”, i.e. 100 on each side. Which is maybe too many? I don’t know. But I felt it. And my ass felt those donkey kicks. Which again…50 on each side? I hope so, because that’s what I did.

Day 9
25 Squats | 100 Skater Slides

I don’t know if I was doing the exercises wrong or if it was a light day, but I barely felt the squats and skater slides. Considering what I’ve gotten used to, I almost want to do another set…

Day 10
50 Squat Jumps | 200 Crunches

I split the crunches up into sets of fifty because I knew there was no way is get through them otherwise. But I didn’t think about the squat jumps. Even breaking them down into sets of 25 didn’t cut it. I ended up splitting those down into 15 and then 10 reps.

But here I am, a third of the way through!
