Last night I did workout A from Phase 1 of the TT 6-Month Bodyweight Program. As the name implies, the workout is all calisthenics and consists of a circuit of 8 different exercises done for between 12 and 20 reps. You do all the exercises in a row, rest a minute and repeat two more times. Again, this is a big change from the 3 sets of 5 workouts I'm used to. The effort is totally different and my body will really have to grow to adapt to these new workouts. While I do enjoy the heavy weight lifting more, I'm excited about how all the little stabilizer muscles are being worked and how that new strength will transfer over once I start regular weight lifting again. Tonight I will spend another 20 minutes on the rowing maching getting in my interval training for the day. My favorite soundtrack to listen to during this workout is Best of Johnny Cash. All his songs about tough guys make it easier for me to resist quitting when I get tired.
