Today was the last day of the 3rd week. I have been exercising for 15 total days and about 12 hours of total exercise time. I feel great and have much more energy then when I started. I also have less pain. I injured my shoulder when I was was in my late teens and it has bothered me ever since. Since I have been working out consistently for 3 weeks, it feels much better. I think the pull-ups are a biggest reason for that. After taking my picture today, I can also see more definition then when I first started. The ab program I have been using is working great. However, there is one thing that I realized I didn’t mention about the way I have been working out.

My workout is usually broken into sections throughout the day. On most days I exercise between 30 minutes to an hour, but usually not all at one time. I may do a couple different sets of sit-ups and a few push-ups in between other tasks I am working on for the day. I also occasionally do some sit-ups or pull-ups just because I walk past the pull-up bar.

Most of us are busy. And with the increasing amount of information we all have to take in, it isn’t going to get better. Learning to manage your time better will definitely help, but who wants to spend all of their time exercising? Not me. I would rather try to make it more effective so I can get it done as quick as possible.

If you are doing the right exercises then you don’t need to spend a lot of time doing a lot of repetitions. Nor allocate a full hour to spend at the gym. I have been doing my exercises when I have an open slot of 5-15 minutes. Finding a full hour can be difficult. Finding a 5-15 minute gap is much easier. I can even do it without working up much of a sweat (no need to change into workout clothes).

Next week is the last week of the challenge so please be sure to tune in for the final results. I will also be going over some of the exercises I feel have made the biggest difference as well as giving a full review of the program I have been using.
