Awesome! What a deceptively tough workout.

I was doing 2 x 5 palm forwards pull ups which went fine until the final round which went 5 then 3,1.5(!),1! Luckily my office is in a converted stable so I did the pullups on one of the timber ceiling beams.

Cheers,

Nik

Athira, good on you for being so committed to your training! As you maybe read in “My Diet Update” post last week, I have come to realise that it’s ok to take your time over what changes you can make to your diet and eating habits. If you are progressing in your training, you will still see good results. I am a bit like you too in that there are days when I hardly eat anything, then I stuff my face the next. I guess it’s just what your body needs on that day. It may even have benefits to keep the body guessing. As long as you are not chronically under or over eating to the point were it starts to affect your health and impact negatively on your training and studies, then do what feels natural for YOU 🙂 I hate rules!!

Keep that determination while you have it and you’ll see great improvements to your strength and performance!

Hey Marianne !!
Iv been following your site for a few weeks now, and finally thought of doing this workout today. It was BRUTAL to the core. Thanks for this amazing workout!!
I love being fit and being healthy. Im a sophomore in college, and its hard to keep up with workouts and eating well, but Im pretty determined to stay on track. I find it very challenging to eat well, considering the fact that my classes start at 7:30 a.m. and goes on till 3:30 p.m., and there are days when I eat very little or sometimes go overboard. But my passion for fitness always remains and motivates me to eat better to perform better.
Thanks again !!.. 🙂

Thanks Matt – Anyone who asked about my butt (which seems to be a lot these days), I am spreading the word about this great exercise! Who’d have thought that by adding one exercise could increase strength and make your butt better 😉

Salma, Thanks! My old Gymboss broke too, but I got the Gymboss Max this time and I love it! It’s so easy to navigate. It’s a bit more pricey, but I think it’s worth it. There are many other features too, like you can save intervals and you are not limited to just 2 interval times in a workout.

Hope this helps.

LOL Mike, sometimes we get a hot day of 25 C here, but the sunburn was from my holiday in Germany – which was hotter 🙂

Hi Marianne,

Great workout!! Was wondering if you’re using the new gymboss max timer? If so, do you like it? I had the old gymboss timer but I dropped and now the screen is tilted and hard to setup the time and I’m debating on whether I should buy the original gymboss or the new gymboss max…
