This morning I woke up with a splitting headache, so I was glad I hadn’t planned to work out at 7 like usual. I hit the gym in the afternoon instead. I didn’t have a lot of time, so all my sets were power sets with very short breaks.
I’ve decided that I like looking up exercises in the BodySpace app, but I don’t like tracking on it. I had to modify some exercises today, and there isn’t room for that in the app. For example, I had one set of alternating dips and push ups. I can’t do dips unassisted, and there isn’t room near that machine to do push ups. I had to modify two things – dips became dips with an assist, and push ups on the ground became standing push ups. I couldn’t indicate any of that in the app. I may not be using it correctly, and I may be a total luddite, but I prefer my pencil and paper.
After that I grabbed lunch with Tiny Nick and rested before extra fencing practice. I fought at least one pass with everyone there, but I was fairly tired, so I felt like I was moving through Jello. I don’t know if the fatigue came from adjusting my sleep schedule or from hitting it hard at the gym today. It may even be from the nights I did lunges to stay in the challenge (my thighs certainly feel that). I hope to be back to myself tomorrow.
