Day 5

Legs and back.  My legs have always been stronger than my upper body, today was evidence of that.  I "brought it" on the exercises and am working to stay balanced on jelly legs for the rest of the night.  I still need to solve the upper body riddle.  Pull-ups still are quite a challenge, though I did manage ONE in good form tonight!  A long time ago in a far away place I used to be able to knock off about 10 to 12 pull ups at a time; I'm determined to get back to there.  It should get easier as the weight comes off and the strength comes up.  My home-brew bar setup (not a door chin up bar) swings a bit and I need to fix that this weekend. 

Another step forward on the ab front, I managed 2 of the v-up rollup moves in good form, and am starting to be able to do some of the other moves at the same pace as the dvd, though not for the complete reps yet.

Progress as week 1 is coming to a close.  Looking forward to Kenpo X tomorrow, and I might also throw in a mountain bike ride over the weekend as well.

One more day of this, and I'll be ripped!
