the video message this week and today's note about sticking to the prescribed break times inspired me. woke up and did one session of ropes along with the 8 min abs before breakfast. then, after lunch, did the full list (including ropes) and ended with another 8 min abs.
i have def been taking longer breaks than usual when needed, with the idea that the extra 5-10 seconds would help me complete the sets better, and in more quality fashion. but i just powered through today, focusing on quality but also completely set on not taking any extra time. the exercise lists from past week or so had been taking about 1hr 15 mins until now. today, got in JUST under 1 hour exactly.
def sweated more and feel like i got a much more complete and thorough workout, feeling a good exhaustion in the end, even though prob failed more than i have been during previous workouts (when i took better breaks).
Mr. Miyagi-sensei (OK, as in Pat Morita, as in our Patrick! :), you prob told as much in the beginning sometime but i just didn't "hear" ya with my "Daniel-san student ears"--but def think it's worth sending the message early and directly, to stick strictly to the timed breaks and only take 20 secs btn exercises. made a huge difference today and hope that i'll be able to push like this for the last weeks of program.
