15:00 Abs

I had Plans to go to the gym today, I really did. Game show night didn't start until 8:30, giving me at least an hour to work with. But, as it does, life got a bit in the way. The fact there was nothing cooked in the house to eat and I'd already eaten Chopt for two meals, combined with the fact my quads are KILLING me aaaaaand I kind of lost all motivation. I cooked vegibles instead of working out, so sue me. My other option was to work out and eat a quesadilla at the bar. So it was probably a draw either way, but now I have food for tomorrow too!

I did manage to slip in a 15:00 ab workout courtesy of Pumps and Iron. Goes like this: there are 3 sections, each section has 3 exercises. Do each exercise in a section for 30 seconds, repeat 3 times, then rest 30 seconds before moving on to the next section. Again, each exercise, 30 seconds, 3 times through, rest 30 seconds. Finish the last section in the same manner, collapse. Cook dinner.

While I was completely feeling the burn while I was going through this workout, I was disappointed in the lack of soreness the following day. Must not have been trying hard enough. Good thing there's PLENTY of room for improvement in my boat pose, because that shit is hard. Mostly it wears out my hip flexors, which probably means I'm doing it wrong. Must investigate.

Quads still hurting Thursday from lifting Tuesday. Must remember to reuse that workout at a future date, because it's clearly a killer!
