Super-secret-ninja-training…ouch

The path to becoming a super-secret-ninja is not an easy one. I have been engaged in the fine art of having my butt kicked by an exercise DVD for a bit over a week now and I am seeing results.

It hurts.

No, those aren’t the results. I’ve lost two pounds in the first week of Power 90X. It was hard going with some of the exercises and I know I have to improve my form in a lot of areas. I still can’t do chin-ups for the life of me. I’ve been forced to use the exercise band around the chin-up bar to simulate the motion until I build up enough strength.I feel wimpy, but I know it will get better.

Last night would have been day nine for me, but I had to take it off. I’ve had a bad head cold for the past three days and it would have been the polymeric routine. That thing kicked my butt last week when I was healthy, so I couldn’t imagine doing it ill. I’ll give it a go tonight as I can finally breathe today.

I am noticing a difference in my muscles already. I’m sure most of it is in my head, but that is the first place I need to make a difference, if you know what I mean.

Favourite lesson from ninja training so far – do your best and forget the rest.

I think I’ll take that as a life lesson.
