Poor Lefty

It seems like whenever I work out, my right arm always ends up more sore than my left. I'm right-handed. Maybe I work my right arm harder even though or because it's the stronger one already. And stronger it is, as evidenced when I was doing side planks. Doing them on my right side was fine. It was a whole different story on my left, as I could barely even get my body up. Oh well. I'll try to work the left arm more in the future.

So the last entry was about yesterday's food day. It was-- let's just not talk about it. Let's instead talk about today's workout, which was pretty good. Following the advice of Maggie in this post, I checked out Craig Ballantyne's Turbulence Training Bodyweight Workout. Beginner level of course.

The moves are all very basic, so at first I was nonplussed. This is it? I thought. I can do this in no time. Except of course, that the exercises repeated and got harder and the muscle tiredness started setting in by the end. I actually worked up a sweat, which was great.

Didn't really feel tired, per se, so I decided to do the TTBW intervals jogging/running in place in my room. Like the bodyweight exercises, it started out so easy I was getting bored. While it didn't really become that hard (probably because I set my own pace), it did make me sweaty and slightly winded and worked out.

I had ambitious plans to start the Couch to 5K training tomorrow, but I think I'll just stick to TTBW, if I can even do that. It's 3 days a week for 4 weeks. The question isn't whether or not I can do it, because I know I can. The question is whether I will. And for my own good, the answer is yes!

On a side note, Britney's new album is great work out music.
