#63 September Fitness Summary

What goals did I hope to achieve this month and did I achieve them?

  1. Do 8 unbroken chin ups. Achieved.
  2. Set new PB for half-angie. Achieved.
  3. At least one night per work trip do a workout, every trip. Failed entirely.
  4. Add in one new excercise to 'portfolio'. Achieved.

Any lessons / thoughts?

Struggled again for consistency starting the month strong but ending not that motivated. Working abroad during the week half the time and coming home for 730pm is giving me too many excuses.

In week one wiped nearly 8 minutes or 13% off my previous PB for the Half Murph. Was absolutely dead at the end of that!

Week two was a stonker setting new PBs in Half Angie and 21,15,9 PU/Burpees,  and in the process I finally did 8 unbroken chin-ups for the first time!

Week 3 and 4 were fairly poor only two tracked excercises - though did enjoy a good run on the heavy bag, need to pick up the motivation and momentum going into October.

PBs.

    1. :) This is a body-weight Fran as I've not got barbells for the thrusters.
