I feel lighter today than yesterday, but still heavy. My form is out of touch, but I think I am getting better. I paused to drink some water each time I walked. I have been very thirsty today. This made jogging a little difficult because my stomach become water-logged even though I didn't drink very much while running.
25 Sit Ups
These are pretty easy. I have been keeping my arms at my sides, I think it is time to start placing the hands behind my head.
25 Counter Supported Push Ups
I can feel my arms really working at this and it feels really good. I am very happy that I have started doing these again.
