beelikej: SPN behind the scenes S7Ep5 (Work Out Jared)
Pfff, finished my 10 day Yoga Challenge, which was bit of a dissapointment to be honest. Most of the sets were much too complicated and had moves that no normal person can do without 10 years of training. Oh well, at least I tried to keep up and do the thing for 10-15 minutes every day. HA!

This was all preparation to get back in the rhythm of a daily work-out. Now it's time for fitness exercises. Tomorrow I'll start with a couple of days of Standing ABS (or Upside Down ABS;) If you want to join me,check the instruction video of Jillian Michaels )

After that I will move on to Jillian Michaels Shred Level 1 for ten days: )

All of these are part of my countdown to a 60 days Role Playing Game Work-Out from Darebee that I will start on Februay 1...
It's called... Age of Pandora
Age of Pandora is the world's first, fully immersive fitness quest. You get to be the hero in a post-apocalyptic, fully realized world that really needs heroes. Your workouts reflect the activities of the central character. You are given the opportunity to fight monsters, forge alliances and save the world. You get to do it at your level of fitness and progress at a pace you find works for you. Are you ready to enter, Pandora and mark the beginning of a new age?

It's sort of like the Hero's Journey I did last year with [livejournal.com profile] whiskygalore, [livejournal.com profile] enablelove, [livejournal.com profile] sinfulslasher, [livejournal.com profile] sleepypercy, [livejournal.com profile] amypond45, [livejournal.com profile] somersault_j.
No pressure, just fun and encouragement through Twitter and Livejournal. You can do the exercises in the privacy of your own home and on a time that's convenient for you. There will be no guilttrips for missing a day, but it will be a serious effort to get of our butts every day;)

Does anyone want to join me? It's suitable for beginners and there are different levels to choose from every day. You can download pdfs of the whole Pandora Program (and peek at the first chapter;) here:)

I'm excited about this!

Oh, all the LJ-posts I write in my head: squeeing about that JDM-J3 tweet, ranting about Jared's FB thing (not at him, mind you) and also the USA presidential elections (because WTF, right?). But alas, I lack time and commitment, so instead have a quick update on the torn calf situation...

Yesterday I overstretched at the supermarket because leaning on the cart made me forget I couldn't actually walk properly:( I spent the whole evening with an icepack and my leg up, (and my mom had come over to take care of me) but today I was in pain as my calf kept having these little spasms, ugh.
I did go to work, I can do that sitting down with my leg up after all and it offers a good distraction, but getting there is a hassle. The bus and the walking with crutches I can deal with, but to leave my house I have to get down lots of stairs from the third floor and especially getting up again at the end of the day is exhausting. So tomorrow I have a sick day and I will stay up in my appartment to give my leg some complete rest.

Due to the injury I had to limit my participation in the Hero's Journey 60 day Work-Out RPG, but I'm still trying to keep up with our little LJ group as best as I can. Besides alternatives for standing/jumping exercises, I have my own training program to get my calf up to speed again.
When I visited [livejournal.com profile] amberdreams last weekend, her husband gave me an excellent step-by-step schedule to rehabilitate my leg. Here's what I've added to my daily work-out:

Picking up crumbled paper with my feet is my favorite; )

So how are you all doing? I haven't been keeping up with LJ in the past few weeks due to the injury and travels, but aim to do better in the future;) There may be some more art this weekend (in case you missed it: my latest Quicky project was watercolours!) but first I'll tell you all about that trip to the UK: prepare for a picspam!!
