Working Back Down

As I've said in several of my previous posts, the goal I set for my ladder sets was to reach a target of 240 per day (15 sets x 2), while only having to take 30 second breaks in between each set. While I've finally reached that goal in terms of quantity, I still have much work to do if I want to match that number while shortening my breaks. As of this week, I started at 70 seconds, and over the next few months I plan on working my way back down to 30 seconds. This will be the pinnacle for me. Any more than this, and I feel I will have pushed my body more than it needs to be pushed.

You may also notice in my results from this past week that I decided to add one more day of rest in order for my body to get the full break it needs and to get the most out of my workouts. This extra day of rest will only be added during the weeks I have two-adays.

My results from this past week are listed below:

Date	Workout	Sets	Total Time (Morning)	Total Time (Night)	Beak Time Per Set	Total Burpees
7/16/2012	Ladder	15	21 min 32 sec	21 min 29 sec	70 sec	240

7/21/2012	Ladder	15	21 min 39 sec	21 min 36 sec	70 sec	240

Since I didn't have much of a theme for this week, I'll just leave you today with another inspirationally funny quote from the late pro wrestler and fitness trainer, Chris Adams:

"People say that losing weight is no walk in the park. When I hear that I think, yeah, that's the problem."
