I see it was before Christmas that I last posted. I'm still working out. I just don't have much need to record everything on Body of Fire, since I'm not focussed on increasing weights. I worked out a few times over break, went for a couple walks, played playground tag, and went skiing. Not bad. Not as good as I had wanted, but the little bit of weight I gained came right off when I went back to eating normally and stopped scarfing down chips and chocolate! Ha!
Today, I did the 3rd Workout of the 10th week of Body of Fire, which is in the 3rd Phase. That means I have only 9 workouts left, since I probably won't do the "bonus" phase. I have changed things up a little, so I guess I haven't really done BOF as written. For example, I can't get my head around AMAP sets most days, and they don't work very well when the weight increments available for a lot of the exercies go from "I can do a ton of these" to "I can't do a single one of these" in one step. So, I get as close as possible and stop at the rep goal if I can get there. Also, I've stopped jumping rope for a warmup, since I just can't jump rope worth a flip. I tried and tried. It ends up not being much of a warm up if I have to stop all the time. So, I've been doing kettlbell swings. With the 16kg bell, I get a MUCH better warm up. Almost too good! Also, it is just too difficult to get outside to do sprint at the end of the even numbered workouts and I have a (justified, I think) fear of falling on the sidewalk when sprinting. Excuses, I know. For a while, I subbed high knees. Recently, I've started doing more kettlebell swings, since I am preparing for the HKC cert later this year.
When I'm done with this program, I'm probably going to do the big lifts again, so I'll be posting more at that time!
