Today, I decided to do the "Fit Test" on the Rest day because I wanted to find out my progress, but I didn't want to spend 25 extra minutes tomorrow when the scheduled workout is already an hour. Sophie "helped" count the reps and Eliza "helped" during the Push-Up Jacks and Low Plank Obliques. With those two things said, I am pretty pleased with the Day 49 (50) results. They are in the table below with the Day 1 results for comparison.
Exercise | Day 1 Reps | Day 49 Reps |
Switch Kicks | 35 | 52 |
Power Jacks | 26 | 53 |
Power Knees | 53 | 92 |
Power Jumps | 22 | 43 |
Globe Jumps | 6 | 9 |
Suicide Jumps | 8 | 16 |
Push-Up Jacks | 11 | 25 |
Low Plank Oblique | 22 | 46 |
I have doubled (or more) the reps on 4 of the 8 exercises. I may double all of them when I take the final test 2 weeks from today.
~ Notes ~
- My resting heart rate is now in the high 50s to low 60s bpm.
- My blood pressure is in the normal (115/65) range after working out.
- When it feels like an earthquake at night, that is a muscle spasm.
- I have gotten out of bed twice and wandered to the living room to ask Kristy if she felt an earthquake.
- The spasms are likely caused by muscle exhaustion mixed with an slight electrolyte imbalance.
- I am ready to be done so that I can get a real rest for a week or so before deciding what to do next.
