Day Five - Don't run Up Spiral Stair Cases
So day five. I wake up a little up a little later than I usually do. Yay for days off !!! So after a call from my brother (thanks by the way for that) I get my butt up and get ready for my workout. I come downstairs. Look at the book and its legs and back day. Lets just say I didn't get to this point last time. At least my legs aren't as sore as they have been. So it begins. Warm up goes better. I hope this trend continues. Then it's back to the shaking legs. Oh how I do not like this. But it is going okay. Then he says it's time for pull-ups. No no no. That is for Monday, not today. Crap so I pause it to decide how I am going to do pull-ups. Last time I wrapped my bands around my spiral staircase. I didn't like that. I kept feeling that the band was going to snap and smack me in the face. I can just see the headline "Man horribly injured working out in basement." I have three doors in my basement. I cant put my pull-up bar on any of them. One the celling is too low. Another is under the stairs. And the other is too wide. So I finally decide to put my pull-up bar upstairs onto one of my doors upstairs. So now with my workout I have stairs to do too. And it's a legs day. So the first time I go up stairs everything goes just fine. Same thing with trip two, but then trip three comes. And I trying to get a better workout and that little bit extra calorie burn I run up the stairs. Mistake number 1. I get to the top and boom! I slip and hit the ground. Good thing there was no one there to see that. But of course I am telling you now so it kinda defeats the purpose of keeping it secret. Jump up and go do my pull-ups. and then back down stairs and continue the workout. Next trip I run again and Bam. Faceplant. Man, again? Up and more pull-ups. Oh my arms. Run back down stairs. Mistake Number two. One step from the bottom and oh no there go my feet. Luckily I catch my self. Back to workout. It is time for wall squats. Oh yeah I used to do this all the time. I start, and here is where I learn that screaming at the tv kinda helps. Wow I couldn't make it very far at all. I love little breaks. So that workout ends. Time again ladies and gentlemen for?...... Ab Ripper X. I really hate this workout. My stomach feels like I have gotten kicked by a mule. And today I have a special treat while doing it. My brother shows up. He becomes my personal cheering section. (Note the sarcasm.) As I continue screaming... I mean my workout, my brother urges me on. Well kinda jeers me and makes fun of me. But I finish. Pretty good day I must say. And I learned that it's really not a good idea to run up or down a spiral staircase.
