#fighterscodex

So still being sore after 4 days tells me that I am not quite ready for this program. It is the highest level that can be considered ok for beginners and with a history of MMA and hikes over the past year I thought I would be ready for it. Turns out I both overestimated myself (I did have 4 weeks off due to being sick) and underestimated the program (saw a time lapse of a “Gamer v’s Fighter’s Codex and thought it wouldn’t be too hard. But time lapses don’t show the number of reps and sets)

So I am putting the fighter’s codex on hold and doing the easiest program and will work my way up from there. So Foundation Light it is. The lowest level but still something more than what I was doing before. 

So earlier I posted after today’s work out (Day 3 of Fighter’s Codex) and how the 125 push up on my knees had my arms shaking as I typed. The unnoticed and real pain that remained with me for the rest of the day was my legs from the 125 squats. From the moment I got up from my computer I was like

I had to buy thing from the big shopping centre. I had to do to work upstairs. I am on my feet for my job. And the lunch room is back downstairs. It was not fun. But I refuse to use the elevator. That would be defeat.

So that‘s my little add on. Hopefully I am no longer sore tomorrow. I have another workout tomorrow AND an MMA class that I do weekly. Oh no. What have I done?

So I decided to do the workout first thing in the morning because I am working late today but when I looked at the work out I wanted to crawl back into bed. A total of 25 push ups per set. And at the lowest level you have to do 5 SETS! That's 125 push ups!

I can (with a lot of difficulty) do maybe 20 in a row and the tiles are slippery in the lounge room. So I chickened out and did them on my knees. And that's not as easy as in appears. My arms are shaking! 

None the least, I did it! And again with the help of another awesome playlist from Kpop Playlists on youtube. 

Bye~ bye~

A nice time regulated workout for one of my time ridged days. 9 exercises at 1 minute of each (as fast as you can) with 1 minute rest in between. though it was a struggle and I do feel I could have been faster but then I wouldn’t have lasted the entire minute -_-’.

At least I had some great music to keep me motivated. It even made dance a little in the rest (so I think it’s fine I slacked a little... maybe). So HUGE thanks to Kpop Playlists on youtube for the awesome workout mix. I only wish the workout could have spanned over the entire hour of music.

So long story short, I am just starting to get out of a slump and decided to try the Fighter’s Codex 30 day workout from Darebee and decided to blog the journey so I can see the progress. To be honesty I am not expecting that much change with this program (especially since I not setting myself a diet) but perhaps after the Hero’s Journey workout that I plan to do next.

So for starters we need the before photos. Joy. I have purposely cut my head off for several reason in the photos. This is the internet after all.

Anyway, the idea of posting the progress on the internet instead of just journaling or something private is if someone does stumble across this and is watching my progress that will motivate me to stick to it everyday. 

Here’s to new beginnings.
