The upper body exercise routines I'd been doing before I got sick have started to all look a bit similar, so today instead of doing upper body work from my usual selection of routines I opted to start two more thirty day challenges from Darebee. Today I had:
- Ironborn, day one: shoulders, chest and triceps. 14.5 pound weights for the shoulder presses, chest presses, and triceps extensions; 9 pound weights for the lateral raises because I know which of my muscles are okay with more weight and which will only scream and cry and refuse to cooperate.
- Gladiator Challenge, day eight: one-armed plank, one minute, one go. Oh God my wrist. But I did it.
- Wall Sit Challenge, day eight: twenty seconds of wall sit. Day eight is basically a rest day, I guess.
- Ten Thousand Punches Challenge, day one. With this one you have the goal of a total of ten thousand punches thrown over the course of thirty days, with a specific number of punches to do each day; you can break them up into as many sets as you like and rest between the sets, but you have to do five push-ups before each set. Day one is 160 punches. I did two sets, so.
What can I say, I like having scores to keep track of.
Tomorrow in addition to challenge work I am going to be doing stairs, most likely. I have registered for the 2019 Fight For Air Climb, for American Lung. If you want to assist with a donation, my page is here, and if not, that's cool too.
