Mental Strength

Phase 2 of Body of Fire is complete! One more Phase left before I have to decide if I'll do the "Bonus" Phase.  Right now, sources say that is unlikely. I've had to shorten some of the workouts and I've modified others, but in general, I've stuck to the plan pretty well. The results have been great, too.

I did all of today's workout. I did sub KB swings for the the jumprope and high knees for the sprints. Otherwise, it was as written. There is one section Chad calls  "Cardio Strength".  Today, this was a 1-13 ladder of wideout drops and judo push-ups. I really think this should be called the "Mental Strength" section. The first 9 sets go by fairly quickly.  Then I get to the sets of 10 and more and I realize that I'm not even half done. I'm glad I have a log because I mark off every set of wideout drops and every set of pushups. Between sets, I'm not supposed to rest, but I find myself getting severely distracted. Then I think about myself getting distracted. Then I think about myself thinking about getting distracted, etc. After all that, I have to look back at my log to check where I am. I don't think these space-outs last very long, but they are annoying.

I had to cut yesterday's BOF in half due to time constraints. It was still a great workout. I probably won't be doing the dips on the bench again, though. I'll go back to the hands-together pushups.
