Day 2 - Workout and Supper

Got home and took 40 minutes to chill out with my little brother, watching NFL network. I hate Atlanta, for NFL Fantasy purposes. You never know which Atlanta Falcons team is going to show up, the one that runs a good college option and throws the occasional long-range bomb for a touchdown and keeps their opponents bewildered the entire game or the one which can't complete a basic screen pass because Michael Vick can't throw a 5-yard ball.

Anyway, today was what I like to call the midsection workout, so basically here is what I did.

-15 minutes of step aerobics to warm up
-30 minutes of calisthenics for my mid-section. I've put on so much weight that these exercises don't feel like high rep, low weight exercises. They feel like high intensity, low rep exercises.
  • Basic crunches
  • Oblique crunches
  • Leg raises
  • Twisting crunches
  • Twisting leg raises
  • Seal raises (lying on your stomach and lifting your torso off the ground)
  • Mat swimming (lying on your stomach, lifting left arm/right leg off the ground & vice versa)
  • V-sits
  • Reverse v-sits

It was a good workout, took about 45 minutes. At that point, I had a bit of a family emergency and could not stretch, which greatly annoyed me. As a former person who could do the splits, flexibility is always important to me.

Anyway, onto supper afterwards:

  • 2 filets of breaded sole fried on Olive Oil
  • 1 bowl of bean salad, as described previously
  • 1/2 a raw broccoflower (a genetically artificial mix of broccoli and cauliflower)
  • 1/2 a raw cucumber
  • 1/2 a cup of long grain brown rice

A neat supper, but I am still a bit hungry. Might grab some tuna before bed, we'll see. Tomorrow is my least favourite workout: Legs! Still, building up those huge quads to become giant, throbbing fat burning muscles can't be all bad.
