Days 85 - 90 Finished & Highlights
May 13, 2008 at 5:06 pm (Days 85 - 90 Finished & Highlights)
I call this phase 1 as this is a work in progress! I don’t feel like I’m actually done here, I have a way to go. There have been some things that didn’t change while I’ve seen improvements in other areas.
Here are some of the highlights - the things that improved.
Vertical Leap - difference between the highest reach (standing) and highest reach (jumping)
day 1 - 6″
day 90 - 11.5″
Push-ups
Day 1 - 12 (knees)
Day 90 - 20 (knees)
Toe Touch - with legs straight out, how far the fingers extended
Day 1 - minus .5″
Day 90 - plus 3″
Wall Squat - Leaning against wall in a seated position
Day 1 - 27 seconds
Day 90 - 42 seconds
Bicep Curls
Day 1 - 8 lbs, 30 reps
Day 90 - 8 lbs, 40 reps
In & Outs - in a seated position with hands on floor, bringing legs in and out to stomach
Day 1 - 25 times
Day 90 - 55 times
Super positive - I didn’t quit. I went all the way through and didn’t miss one weight workout, although did miss a few of the other workouts. Most people quit before they finish because they either don’t see results or they find an excuse not to continue.
I didn’t see *all* the results I was hoping to see at the end of the first 90 days, but I am not throwing out the baby with the bathwater and know that I improved greatly in many areas. Although I’m not interested in picture taking, weighing & measuring myself at this point I will be looking forward to doing that down the line, maybe in the next phase or perhaps even next month!
We are continuing with “phase 2″ - ha. This morning I did some plyometrics and we will be officially restarting the second 90 day phase on Monday.
