All done again. Still have not gotten into the habit of getting up early and knocking off the exercise, but at least I am getting it all done before a bath and bed. Saw Patrick's post about doing the exercises right. It is the first time I have trained using resistance bands, and I have to say I find them harder to get right than free weights. I find that the right length for curls is a little short for the shoulder davinci, but I have been trying them slow release to get the best burn.
Still haven't got a proper solution to the pull-ups, using the dining table for the incline ones, but find it shifts a bit - which worries me. Don't want the folks coming home to see a pair of legs sticking out under a turned over dining table.
Otherwise, diet is remarkably easy to stick to so far. Ta made brown rice, chicken and tofu stir fry, which was awesome - nice to be back home.
looking good! Keep it up
ReplyDeletePetes: that stir fry sounds great.. Mmmm dinner for me tonight. Funny regarding the dinning table.
ReplyDeleteHey from your place: go out to that busy road (route 415) and opposite side from your place between san-no-hashi and the Korean cultural centre is a small park. There are horizontal poles you can use there for your pull ups. Cold out though - I'd wear gloves.
Towards Roppongi: at the begining of that one way street that goes to Bernds bar there is a small triangle park: has a proper pull up bar and dip bar there too.
I am using that one on the weekends.
Yeah, resistance bands require an honest, responsible mind. You have to be near the edge of your ability with each exercise, which requires standing in different places on the band per each exercise.
