I like my paper challenge logs, but I want to try a method that doesn't require me keeping track of a piece of paper, as I have a spotty track record with doing so. 2 Quote "We can be heroes" Level 13 Assassin | climbing | meditating | running | writing | bodyweight training | kickboxing | Backyard gym project Current Challenge | 39 | 38 | 37 | 36 | 35 | 34 | 33 | 32 | 31 | 30 | 29 | 28 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 Link to post

A rogue's gotta be able to climb. I'm realizing that the climbing goal may be tricky since spring break falls during this challenge, and our climbing wall closes then. But I think the bouldering room is probably still open. Kickboxing class this morning-- I was going to say it was a tough one, but frankly they're all tough ones. 4 Quote "We can be heroes" Level 13 Assassin | climbing | meditating | running | writing | bodyweight training | kickboxing | Backyard gym project Current Challenge | 39 | 38 | 37 | 36 | 35 | 34 | 33 | 32 | 31 | 30 | 29 | 28 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 Link to post

I did not make it look easy today, dear. I'll work on it. So, I have had this suspension gear (like TRX, but mine is an off-brand) for like a year now, and have barely used it, which was in fact one of my motivators planning this challenge. Observations: 1) First hurdle overcome: Took my suspension rig to the gym and used it in public for the first time, which I was feeling a little weird about. It was fine. And students are about to bail for the summer, so I'll have a less busy gym to work in while I get used to it. 2) I am super awkward at it, and I'm still figuring out how to use it to best advantage. But I like doing it, and will have a better idea what moves to work on as I use it more. Next time I'll plan out a very simple workout set that I can do from memory (I jotted down a routine and then forgot the piece of paper. Next one's going in my phone.) 3) A lot of suspension exercises require a modicum of balance, control and grace that I ... look forward to gradually acquiring. 7 Quote "We can be heroes" Level 13 Assassin | climbing | meditating | running | writing | bodyweight training | kickboxing | Backyard gym project Current Challenge | 39 | 38 | 37 | 36 | 35 | 34 | 33 | 32 | 31 | 30 | 29 | 28 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 Link to post
