For the morning workout, guess what they sprung on me? Any guesses? A NEW EXERCISE! How dare they, right? LOL I will admit that it is my new least favorite exercise, maybe second least favorite, I haven’t decided. Mr. Spectaculars aren’t my favorite either! I’ve been told I can’t talk negatively about these two exercises on Facebook, in the Deliberate Discomfort Members Group, because they’ve received warnings on hate speech around these two people (they aren’t actually people, and I don’t know if they are named after people or not, they are in fact just exercises). The description that they give for the Curtis P., the new one sprung on me this morning, is as follows:
Start with an empty barbell and add weight every 10 reps as your form and tempo allow. 1 Curtis P. consists of Hang Clean, Front Squat, Lunge with each leg, followed by a Push Press (all while holding the same barbell). Now do it 50 times! Yep, that’s what I got…but you know what? I did it!
Thankfully the second Main Set was core work with Superman Holds, Side Bridges, Front Planks, and Seated Russian Twists, which almost made this set feel relaxing!
Rest of my day went amazing well. I found out that one of the Deacons for my church uses the same gym and had a great conversation with him this morning. I was able to get my Master Class video in wile working out as well. I was also able to read my book while waiting for a doctors appointment, and got my Mindfulness in while doing my walk. Today I was able to get in 2.62 miles in 61 minutes, but I also have been walking most of the day, so currently have almost 11,000 steps logged as well (including the walk).
As you can see, things went well, and I can praise God for watching over me and the family today, helping us have a productive day and helping me get enough done that I don’t have to be up half the night like I have the last two nights. Thank you Lord for everything, even my New Least Favorite Exercise!
