Backyard Session

Warm-up: walk around block with Marble

20 push ups, 20 squats, 20 crunches

20 push ups, 20 squats, 20 obliques

20 push ups, 20 squats, 40 bicycle legs

Jog/walk – 1.6kmish – 12m 10s
(around the larger block that formed the basis of the timed walk right back at the start)

Notes

Today’s program instructions from Britt were “Backyard session – do something and report back what you did”. I stuck to the same basic exercises, but thought it might be good to throw in a bit of a run as well.

The first time I walked around the larger block it took about 20 minutes. The last time I did it was around the 14 minute mark. So after not doing it for a while, it seems I have shaved 2 minutes off that by starting to jog some of the way.

So now I guess I should start thinking about being able to do that block in 10 minutes or less… and not on or in a vehicle of any kind 🙂
