Day 44

So only had 2 exercises to get through today.  Got in 2 miles on the treadmill beforehand.  Still struggle with both of these exercises  - they just don't feel natural to me for some reason.  Maybe it's because I've spent so much time over the last few years doing push-ups and pull-ups that my body is just more used to those movements.


Classic Workout #1 / #2 Sets Reps Actual
       
Narrow Pushup 2 20 20,20
Wide Pushup 2 20 20,20
Decline Pushup 2 20 15,15
Pull-up 3 5-10 8,8,8
Neutral Pull-up 3 5-10 8,7,6
Chin-up 3 5-10 6,6,6
Hanging Knee Raise 1 20 20
Bent Knee Raises 2 15 10,10
Incline Pike Pushups 3 15 15,12,10
Dips (Knees up) 3 10 10,10,10


didn't get through all the reps of the pike push-ups.  I went with a higher incline - setting my feet up higher on a stack of chairs that were probably chest height.  I also tried to go a little slower.


Dips felt about the same - only did the three sets of 10.  I think I could have pushed through more reps, but for some reason I didn't today.


I also threw in two sets of leg raises to work my core a little too.


Plan for tomorrow is to hit the gym before I head to Connecticut to pick up my daughter from college.  So I'll try to get through as much of the workout as I can and still get on the road by 7:00ish.
