The planks are getting easier mentally, but physically they are getting tough. My muscles tremor near the 45 second mark now and I hold out as long as I can, usually to the 2:30 mark before collapsing and trying again.
Burpees....fuck that noise. Though I have discovered an "old" muscle strain in my right hip tonight while doing them. Not entirely fun and of course the tube of arnica gel is no where to be found.
Days 3 & 4: Okay.
I have also started tracking my eating and since I have cut out (the majority of) grains I fell a few hundred calories short of what I should be eating a day, which is 1400 calories. Happens when you eat nothing but veggies, fish/chicken/eggs, and some fruit. So I had to cram some food in tonight before working out.
My new favorite move: side straddle hops with a 10lb body bar. Instead of clapping your hands when they get to the top, you thrust the bar above your head and back down when you bring your feet together. I had sweat pouring off of me in seconds.
