3... 2... 1... Rest!
Monday, early in the morning in Happy Valley. I have just done one minute of Level 1 burpees. Savouring the one minute recovery. Five exercises down and another three to go.
First day of the challenge and I'm in the middle of the 90 Day Revamp fitness test. Although I'm feeling the burn and starting to slow down I'm highly motivated. Thirty minutes ago a friend and trainee took the test and did very well. Feel like I have to step it up to keep up with him.

Feeling awkward.
I'm struggling with the last few reps of low plank oblique. Last twenty seconds feels like ages and my hip flexors are on fire. I hear the liberating beep of my stopwatch and lie on the floor almost forgetting how many reps I've just done. I scrawl the number on my damp stats form.
My challenge data is complete
☑ Before Pic (had to hide morning hair under cap)
☑ Body Fat Percentage according to US Navy formula: 24%
☑ Fitness Test Results
1. Switch Kicks ( 2 Kicks= 1 Rep) : 104 Kick: 2= 52 reps
2. Power Jacks: 64 reps
3. Power Knees: 92 reps
4. Power Jumps: 45 reps
5. Globe Jumps (4 Jumps= 1 Rep): 48 Jumps: 4= 12 reps
6. Level 1 Burpees: 21 reps
7. Push-Up Jacks: 24 reps
8. Low Plank Oblique: 98 reps
Ok, it's just natural that I feel like I could have done better. As expected my weakness are my weak hip flexors and tight hamstrings affecting kicks and vertical jumps. And maybe I should not have had those few glasses Shiraz yesterday. Well,... no use to cry over spilled wine... milk, whatever.
There's no other way but up, right? Now it's your turn.
