PoW 3-Week Challenge | Week 3
Day 16: Seventh Workout
Last night I had one of the best nights of sleep since 2009, and I think my body has finally reset from last week’s cold and allergies. I’m fortunate to start off Monday in this regard as this week will be very challenging. Here’s the results from this morning’s exercise:
I haven’t felt this great in awhile — mentally and physically — considering the workload we have going on right now at the office. I’m not going to lie, there are days I really don’t feel like doing my routine but I’m glad I’m sticking it out. Forming regular exercise habits can definitely be difficult, but after every exercise the endorphins flowing throughout definitely make me happy that I did my routine. Next step is to get into the habit of doing my routine the moment I wake up.
Day 18: Eight Workout
Dropped the ball today and a little disappointed in myself but only missed push-ups by 1. Friday is the last day of the Challenge, and I’m going to do the workout first thing in the morning. Hopefully my endurance is a little better.
Day 20: Last Workout
Tried to get all stars across the board on my last day, but killed my endurance for pull-ups and missed pretty bad. Oh well, check out the before and after photos — I’m pretty happy with the results. We’ve got a few bugs to iron out that we’ve discovered during this process, but otherwise I will continue doing a slightly modified version of the Hacker Workout from here forward. Shift my exercises around for a few weeks, upper body needs more focus.
We also need to add something more rewarding for finishing a routine. We have a good idea for it, but it’s going to take some work to integrate. Look for it in future updates.
