So I'll kick off this blog for Greenie, but it's really hers. We just did the exercises this morning. Skipping was definitely a lot shorter than yesterday - we discovered Greenie may have shortened her rope a bit too much, but when we brought it back out a bit she was getting more consistent skips coming through... I think the big killer though has been for Greenie T (GT)'s push ups. Her arms are not quite strong enough yet, and she's struggling with doing proper push-ups. Currently she's in the shower trying to reach her head with the towel, but struggling to lift her arms!
We began originally with pushups on her knees, but she's decided that she wants to go all out and do proper ones, so I've been helping support her upper body a bit whilst she has done push ups on a her toes. A brave effort!
Now we're off to make us some breakfast. She'll buy the coffee and I'll go grab sausages and tomatoes from the supermarket - we've already got egg and toast at home. Not the healthiest of breakfasts, I know but hey might as well enjoy it whilst we can; albeit half-portions.
Oh, we also found a chin-up bar yesterday. I spent a few hours trawling thru all the sports stores in Causeway Bay yesterday trying to source one. Finally found one in First Boxing for HK$435. It was their last one, but they have more in Mongkok if people were looking to buy. Call them up, and they'll get it brought over to the Causeway Bay store for you next day - supports up to 115kg.
Here's a pic:
Hello - is Greenie taking over here....
we end up deciding to go get some breakfast instead of cooking cuz we both were starving!
we ordered a full breakfast (with sausage, ham, tomato, mushroom, egg & toast) and split the portion in half, here's the pictures...
the cappuccino was complimentary and of coz we share it too!
I'm not hungry now but at the same time didn't feel like I've eaten much - I think i'll get hungry again very soon....
Greenie with sore arms...
haha good job guys! I could not do a single push-up on my toes in the beginning and yesterday I managed to do 15 in a row! There are not very low ones but I am still pretty pleased with myself.
ReplyDeleteI spent the first week feeling sore all over...but it gets better haha
