Day 1 Workouts

Overview of Day 1 Workouts

1) Meltdown - 16 minutes of work, wanted to quit after about 90 seconds but ground it out.  Tingly arms, not enough air.  Thought about how much (relative) enjoyment involved in putting it on (cocktails, big meals, etc) and how painful it is to (slowly) bring it back off.  Actually, it might be a good motivator to contemplate how unpleasant it actually is versus the (real??) pleasure of all the less beneficial habits involved in putting it on.

2) Individual Circuit - I got the benchmark assessment completed to set the baseline for exercise quantity.  Then, completed the circuit in 2:35 for the baseline time.  Chest a little taxed from the Meltdown this morning.

3) Power Circuit - Missed this today, was very taxed due to misunderstanding the Meltdown and used pushups for all 4 cycles.

4) Other Metabolic Workout - Rode down to Urbanistic Tea (a cool urban bike and tea store) on my cruiser today since it was such a nice day here in Denver.  Total bike time around 20 minutes and I tried to interval it up a bit - harder riding for a minute or so then a little easier.

I felt it was a pretty good start to the program today.  The next week or so will take a lot of focus and motivation, especially over the next few days as the soreness kicks in.
