Saturday Workout Report (Compiled Edition)

[the_gneech]

Rather than bore everyone with daily workout reports, this week I decided to bore everyone with a summary. lythandra and I have been hitting the DDR pretty consistently this week, doing two 45-minute sessions and one 30-minute session since Monday. Also, every day except Thursday, I've been doing three sets of 20 crunches (middle, right, and left) and 20 "3rd-step" pushups -- i.e., pushups done by placing my hands on the 3rd step of a staircase, thus angling my body at roughly 20°. I'm doing these in order to build my strength back up, as pushups are always, always, always the hardest things for me to do and the easiest for me to get disgusted and quit on. Right now I can do a full set of 20 3rd-step pushups and keep my form all right; in a week or two I'll switch to 2nd-step, then 1st-step, then back to the floor.

I haven't picked up with the Bowflex again primarily because of time -- I've been working hard to get caught up on the too-much-to-do list since D*C, so the DDR and pushups/crunches are all I've been able to shoehorn in. But even they're better than nothing.

Awesome! Keep it up, Gneech! *pats you on the back*

Man, I'm all happy because I missed the thrill of playing lots of DDR at a time, mainly because I've gotten kind of bored of DDR and didn't really have any good means to play it. But luckily our town just got a Pump It Up machine, which is like inverse DDR! And it's a whole new learning experience and OMGSOMUCHFUN! :D :D

Gneech, I wasn't sure you'd heard of this, and I think you would certainly be interested in news of this sort.

Thanks! :) There have been rumblings about a The Prisoner movie many times over the years; this particular set of rumblings seems a little more organized than many previous attempts, but it's sort of like Indiana Jones IV -- I'll believe it when I see production stills. :)
