So, I’ve completed Day 8/100, day 9 is tonight. Did my stretching, and last night’s 3-mile walk felt AWESOME! I could really tell the difference in my core strength - my back felt great and my shoulders stayed back, no rolling forward with exhaustion or anything like that.
Tonight’s strength workout will start to incorporate some upper body movements on top of some core movements. I’ll be doing my own fat-guy pull-ups. A lot of gyms these days use a machine that counterbalances weight so you don’t have to pull-up your entire body weight, allowing you to work up to it gradually. Since I don’t have a machine like this, I do a jumping pull-up, so the momentum from my jump takes some of the weight off my pull-up. The goal is to work up to “real” pull-ups, and in this way you’re working the exact muscles you need in the exact motion you need them.
Fat-guy pull-ups. Know ‘em, love ‘em.
My core strength exercise tonight will be crunches. We talked about those last week. So, I’ll be going from one exercise daily to 2 exercises daily, along with some post-workout stretching.
