Day 82: Plank Debate

As usual, went to the gym at lunchtime, but forgot that it is closed every 5th and 20th of the month! DOH! I normally enjoy my lunchtime workouts at the gym during the week, not so much those at home on the weekends, and absolutely hate working out at night after work (though really like my 2nd set of jumping after work, as well as the first set first thing in the morning).
I guess if that is all I have to complain about, things could be a lot worse...wait a second, almost forgot, 1:45 PLANKS! AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Last weekend in Yokohama, in the middle of 5x 90 second Planks, Patrick said that we would not do any more than that. I guess technically 4x 1:45 is less. Initially I thought I would prefer 1 more set of shorter duration, but in the end I think 1 less set of longer duration (and less time overall) was in fact easier.

Thoughts?

  1. Yes, longer, but few sets is slightly easier, as in it feels better than squeezing your hand in a vice.

  3. Closed on the 5th and 20th? That's random! (Or is it...?)

    I just cannot read about the planks you guys are doing, so don't tell me. ;-)

  4. I like the odd numbers. That way when I finish the 3rd set the next two seem so easy. However, I won't argue with less!
