Ok its been about 6 weeks since I tried the 5 min bodyrow challenge so I thought I'd give it another shot.
8,6,5 ,5,5, 5,4, 4,3,3,5, Total of 53 up 8 from last time. Actually I think I may have set my rings lower than last time too, about 45° is as high as they will go but my straps have stretched quite a bit.
Then onto 5 mins of squats
20, 20, 20, 20, 20 total 100 - I confess I did 20 then rested the minute out knowing I would acheive my goal of 100 but by the end I think I probably did the right thing I was dying and couldn't have squeezed another one out! I did 81 last attempt.
Then 50 pushups to desk just to round things out.
I was considering tabata sprints too but my legs are shot so that will have to wait - hopefully tomorrow.

Fri Sept 7
L1D3
30 bodyrows at 45°
63 pushups hands at knee height
21 squats
in 10 mins 40 sec
Finished off with 3 sets of 5 pilates rollups - didn't have the arm strength for planks after today.
Felt tough today and I thought I did worse than last week but when I looked back I did it in 13.32mins last week so I actually did quite well
Yay me

Hi Hosedragger (think I've been calling you horsedragger, sorry!)
DDR stands for Dance Dance Revolution. I have the playstation version. You have about a metre square mat with 4 directional arrows on it and as arrows scroll up your TV screen you have to hit the corresponding arrows with your feet as they reach the top (in time with the music). They get faster and more complicated as you improve, also lots of jumping involved. Not really dancing but then again its somewhat like it
I have no style and no rhythm and its definitely not pretty to watch but I do have fun, besides in the privacy of my lounge room 70 km from the nearest town, who is going to know
Plus the kids like it too, I wouldn't have a playstation in the house until this came along.

Tabata runs (sounds like a bad case of diarreah! I don't feel they qualified as sprints though
)
Again took a break at the 1/2 way mark but this time I didn't go quite so flat out for the first few intervals and that way I was more consistant through all 8 intervals instead of nearly dying for the last couple.
I walked up to a softer stretch of road and then did my four intervals then walked back to my starting point and did it all again. Took me four mintues to walk back but I was fairly dawdling.
Now fingers crossed I don't get 4 days of extreme DOMS like I did last week
