OK, so I can now run 20 minutes non-stop thanks to C25K, but I cannot pick up my right foot with my right hand and bring it up anywhere near my right buttock, nor can I do it on the left side.
OK, so I can swim 60 lengths backstroke non-stop, but I simply cannot do a squat without sticking my bum out (which Laura says I'm not to do).
First time trying out this routine. Took me absoultely ages as I was doing it indoors, using an uncalibrated magnetic treadmill (i.e. the belt kept slipping and wandering off at will, so I repeatedly had to put Laura on pause to deal with it). Felt a twit walking around the house otherwise, so must get this thing sorted out before the next session on Monday.
The warm-up rowing and shoulder press exercises had me in hysterics... a bit like tapping your head with one hand and drawing circles on your stomach with the other. I couldn't get the co-ordination right. As soon I was "rowing", my feet stopped and vice-versa.
Definitely a challenge. Looked so simple in the videos.
Broomstick on chairs instead of railings worked fine, though I couldn't manage a full pull-up, only from my hips upwards (i.e. bum firmly stuck to the ground). Even so I could really feel those muscles working. Will try to find suitable railings somewhere and do the pull-ups properly whenever I can.
Enjoyed the calf and hamstring stretches.
Advice needed!
