After three continuous days of exercising, just about every part of my body hurts. I have to admit. I actually like it when I am sore after a work out. It makes me feel like I worked out hard enough.

So far I have kept my workouts relatively short. I haven’t done more than about 30 minutes per day, but they have been very intense workouts. If you choose exercises that work multiple parts of your body and really cause you to push yourself, then your body will adapt quickly. I also don’t stick with the same routine each day. The advantage is that since your body doesn’t know what to expect, it is forced to be better prepared. The one disadvantage I have noticed after three days, is that the workout is getting more difficult each day as my muscles are fatiguing. Luckily, I only have two more days before I can take two days off.

I took a picture of myself the day I started, and will take another after I have competed my workout on the 5 day so you can see a 5 day comparison. I will continue to do so at the end of each week until the 30 days is up.

To get an idea of the type of body you can get exercising with your own body weight,  check out the video below. The guy does 10 90 degree push-ups without his body ever touching the ground. In those 10 push-ups, I bet his body gets more of  work out than the average routine does in an hour.
