A bit of a change today with the food... I normally start working out 30 to 40 minutes after I eat. Today it was a full hour. Not a big deal, but it felt a bit different.

My trainer didn't care. He had written down the circuit I was to do today and it was to be repeated five times. No ifs, ands or buts. Just do it. And better yet, be faster than Monday.

So, I lined up the bells near the pull up bar and got down to business. The trainers voice kept knocking around in my head, 'move to the next movement. Stop resting so long!!! GO! GO! GO!" I wanted to smack my trainer. Ugh... what does HE know about this!? He's just telling me to move all the while holding that damned stop watch and keeping an eye on the rest periods and how long each circuit taking.

The worst part? The absolute worst part is my trainer is me. And I almost listened to him. Almost.

The challenge I am having is moving directly from one movement to another without stopping. Just move. Ugh.

Here's how today panned out:

Week One - Day Three

Start: 7:09am
Finish: 8:12am

Warm Up: Joint Mobility - 10:00
Body Movements: BW Squats/Crow/Wall Crawls/Quad Hop/Pistols - 5:00

Circuit:
Double Clean x5 (16kg bells)
Pull Ups x5
Burpees x5
Swing x20 (24kg bell)
Rest: 1:00 - 2:00

Do the above five times. Today's times:

#1 - 2:25
#2 - 2:38
#3 - 2:57
#4 - 3:20
#5 - 3:27

Roller & Stretch: 15:00

Thoughts: All through this I kept thinking this seems tougher than Monday. Maybe my trainer pushed me a little harder today. :)

Overall, my times were better.
