Let's see

Now let's see how many reps I did today for sit ups, push ups and squats.

Push ups = 105
Sit ups = 111
Squats = 132

Now let's compare to what I used to

Push ups = 70
Sit ups = 90
Squats = 60

I also used to be able to only do 30 sit ups per minute with my feet stuck under my bed. Now I can do (well, last check was the previous week) 40 in a minute without any aid. Definately an improvement and I'm sure I can do more when I do a stress test at the end of next week (I hope to hit 60 at least). Right now the goal is to do 65 sit ups non stop as fast as I can. We'll see in two weeks!

Now in jogging news, I can jog 3 minutes non stop right now. Now to you people who normally jog, I know 3 minutes isn't much, but hey, I have not jogged at all in my entire life so 3 minutes is an achievement for me =D
In two weeks, I should be able to jog 20 minutes straight. We'll see how things turn out.

In desperate need of motivation!

Now, my previous post listed out my previous work out regime. Looking back from my current regime, it looks piss easy :D

This is the fourth week of my new training regime which includes both weights, body exercises and jogging! (OMG yes, I actually jog now). I must say, I actually enjoy jogging. With the right shoes, running does hurt my feet anymore and it isn't as hard as I thought (or boring actually).

I've been using this three websites for my sit ups, push ups and squats

http://www.hundredpushups.com/
http://www.twohundredsitups.com/
http://www.twohundredsquats.com/

And I use this for my jogging regime

I do all the other work outs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I usually start with either push ups or sit ups, following by either one which I didn't do, then weights, squats, then weights.

For weights, I'm now doing 13kgs bicep curls. I usually do 2 sets of 5 reps.
I do two different triceps exercise, one lifting 13kgs with both arms and the other lifting 6kgs with one arm.
And I still do the '21' for toning using 8kgs then 6kgs.

Right now, I'm repeating week 3 for sit ups as well as week 4 for push ups. I struggled with both last week and decided maybe I should repeat the week. As stated on the website, it is indeed easier repeating the week. I'm stronger than last week! =D

I'm right on the money for squats on week 4. I actually dread squats as it is THE most painful exercise out of all of the workouts. You see, the other workouts just tired me out rather than hurting me tremendously. Squats however, is the total opposite. I seem to have the strength to go through what the plan requires but the PAIN. I guess I just have to man through it like I've been doing and think of the awesome outcome of having steel thighs which help in my jogging as well.

I'm right on plan with jogging on week 4 starting Thursday. I jog on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. I have to say the jogging plan from that website, so far, really works. My stamina has grown so much since the first week that I keep looking forward to each session as I know each jogging session I do, my stamina increases and the week's jogging plan gets easier.

However, I can't say the same for my odd days work out. I've been losing motivation to do them as the required reps for both sit ups and push ups for each session is crazy. The increments in reps is roughly 3 per set per session, which might not sound a lot till you try it. I'm really pushing and stressing my body out each work out session. As you can tell, pushing yourself to the limits every work out session can have a toll on your motivation as most of the time I can't do the required reps of me in one go. I'll have to take a short break then continue on. This destroys the confidence in me as the website says I should be able to do it. Some say take it slow. But hey, I'm training up to be a monster so hearing something like that ain't gonna help. So right now, not only am I fighting against the pain threshold, I'm going up against my will. One half of me says its enough, the other says keep going on. So far its going good as there have been days that my motivation has hit rock bottom and I still power through. So as they say, its really mind over body.

And so, I've started back blogging to keep my spirits and motivation up. I hope this works and that I finish my regimes in at least in about 3 more weeks hopefully!
