Day 9

Morning PCP workout:
300 reps x 3 sets jump rope
Only 600 reps were prescribed by Patrick for today, but in the interests of loosening up where my diet is concerned, I decided to up the reps on this exercise because of its positive effects on insulin sensitivity. I probably could have cranked out another 300 but perhaps because I had eaten only 45 minutes prior, or because I hadn't been aware enough of my breathing, I started suffering a cramp in one of my lungs *ouch!* I'm continuing to do these barefoot, and damn it hurts when the rope hits my toes! *laughs* Negative reinforcement? I decided to wait on the remaining exercises until after this afternoon's workout at the gym with my personal trainer, so I don't 'double-dip' on any of them.

  1. I am doing them barefoot as well and can relate to the, "Damn, this thing stings."

  4. Heh heh before this is all over I think you'll get the smack in the back of the head at least once Matthew. I got one yesterday and it bit, in more ways than one.
