Day 23 - Core Synergistics

This was an interesting day for me. I woke up late and decided that I would try to workout at night. We had the missionaries over at 5:00, ward temple night at 7:15 and I really didn't think Core Synergistics was going to get done. I got home from the temple at 9:15, had some fruit, sat down on the couch, and flew through the tivo'd Giants game. I finished the game at 10:30 and due to some effective prodding from Christine, I went upstairs and changed into my workout clothes.

Core syn. was a good workout. It was a bit unusual, in fact 90% of the exercises were new to me, but I think all in all it was a decent workout. I tried to "engage my core" as best as I could per Tony's advice and I think I did a pretty good job of that. The main problem I had with this workout was the fact that I wasn't familiar with any of the exercises, so it took some time watching Tony to figure out the form. I tried extending most of the routines until a bit after the timer stopped. I finished by 11:30. I wander if working out at night is better for me. I felt better physically and I didn't mind doing the warm up or the cool down because I wasn't in any kind of hurry. In the mornings I'm constantly peeking at the clock in the garage calculating my arrival time to work. The main issue with working out at night is that it gets hectic and it's easier to miss a workout towards the end of the day. Tomorrow is Kenpo, so I'll substitute that with basketball and we're going golfing for scouts without the cart. So there you have it, 4 more days until phase 1 is complete.
