Exercise:	Feeling/Reaction:
50 Jumping Jacks	A little tired at the end, sweating, could feel my exterior calf and hip muscles working.
6 Push Ups	Was able to do one more than yesterday. Felt stronger and like I could have done more. Still at about 105* angle in my arms at my lowest point (consistent.)
20 Crunches	Took elbows to opposite knees. Trying to obtain better alignment that strength will allow (lifting from the abdomen rather than the shoulders). Probably could have done more.
20 Mountain Climbers	Easier than yesterday. I think I am ready to increase the number. Goal: Try to reach 20 on each side. Currently: 10 on each side.
30 Second Plank	Pretty easy, but could certainly feel my abs working to keep me in proper alignment. Keeping my heels extended past the balls of my feet helps with my overall stability and strength. It is best if I do not look at the timer.
11 Laps Running Around the House	My pattern was as follows: Run 3 Walk 1 Run 2 Walk 1 Run 2 Walk 1 Run 2 Walk 2 Run 2 In the beginning my lungs were what stopped me from running more than 3 laps. They are building strength and stamina. My legs felt strong until about lap 7 (running). Pushed myself to complete the rest of the 10 (my goal) and finished with an 11th lap. Proud of myself for staying committed and pushing myself forward.
Small Cool Down Walking Around the House	Catching my breath. Not sure how many laps I walked. Likely between 4-6.
60 Stair Steps	Started with my left foot leading and did 30 steps. I realized I was cheating my right leg out of its full work out so I stopped after 30 and switched to my right foot leading for another 30 steps.
20 Stair Hops	Found my rhythm after about the 3rd hop. Grew tired by the 19th.
10 Lunges	Felt much stronger today and loose in my legs. Ten lunges felt good. Could probably do more if I was interested.
Cool Down Lap Walking Around the House	Drank some water and took a lap before going inside the house.
