… is a great movie. But never-mind that. A short post today because I’m dead tired. It has been now 28 days since I’ve started this experiment where I would be posting something each day. It is also around 28 days since I increased the amount of the exercise I do. Here is a small recap. I’ve been here before and a funny thing happens around this time.
Weight training actually gets more difficult. At this point, the muscles get used to the weights I started out with. So I can start doing longer sets of exercises. However, doing longer sets is quite difficult. There resistance is less pronounced now and the feeling of having “worked out” is missing. I can keep on doing an exercise until I can’t anymore but I don’t feel spent afterwards like I did before. Yet, I’m not quite ready yet to seriously increase the weights. It’s a bit of a frustrating in-between situation.
On the other hand, jogging starts getting REALLY fun now. I can keep up an hour at a steady pace with ease. It feels very refreshing! And that means it’s even easier to maintain the schedule. And there are some noticeable effects too! I sleep better and my physique is improving. It quite motivating to experience this kind of progress and I’m really glad I was able to get over that initial hump. I hope I will be able to keep it up.
I gotta try this jogging thingy everyone is talking about.
