Day 2

Arivind here and I'm blogging today which, according to Sam means it won't be as eloquent or pleasing to the reader. (Sam upon reading this: Haha... we'll let the readers decide!)

Now, we both woke up today really feeling it. Our abs hurt when we laughed or sneezed, and Sam spent most of the day complaining she was in pain all over. (Sam: exacerbated by an audition I had in the morning where I had to freestyle with lots of jumps and bendy acrobatic tricks. Ugh.)

Weirdly enough, the run proved to be easier and more invigorating today. We finished it feeling good and were dreading the ab routines more than anything else.

For me, all of it was fine save for the leg lifts which still prove a challenge. Managed 2 sets of 12 reps on the wheel, so getting there. (Sam: took ages to force my unhappy body to do the first sit-up, but it eventually managed to finish all the required reps despite protesting throughout. Am also feeling quite pleased with myself as I managed to roll further forward on the wheel than yesterday and successfully did 1 set of 8 and 1 set of 10!:) )

Tomorrow is our first day off and we'll be back in business come Sunday!
