Been keeping the blogs going on the new app but will post a weekly summary here.

Breaking my ankle during the Run program sucked, it took a lot of wind out of my sails and I felt...well...sorry for myself.

Once I heard T-Shirt Blast was rolling, the self-doubt came into play. Can I? Should I? Then I saw my mate Dermot signing up, so that sealed the deal. Not to mention good Kenzai friends Kathleen and Martin.

I was wondering how I could mod some of the Blast workouts, but that has ended up being a non-issue. I look at the workout while making espresso in the morning and figure out what exercises require low impact mods (turns out it is usually only 1-3). Cardio has been going great mixing in the Stairmaster, rowing machine and Versaclimber:

Feeling good and really feeling like I am getting a lot out of this program. The muscle mass had taken a bit of a hit during the time from late August -> late October. I feel like I've added a little muscle mass while maintaining good cardiovascular conditioning.

1 hour on the Stairmaster today followed by 8MA and 15 minutes legs up the wall pose was a great way to wrap up Week 2.

Next week will be a challenge with Thanksgiving here in the States. Formulating my plan to not fall off the rails but indulge intelligently while still keeping to the spirit of the program. Of course, maintaining the workouts all along the way. Also keeping that diet super-tight early in the week Monday -> Wednesday before family arrives.
