After the long preliminary jog, I was way too sore the next day to jog again. But I still needed to exercise, so I decided to try something different, for the days I couldn't or didn't want to job. I came up with an exercise plan that was both slapdash and hastily put together. Nonetheless, it was surprisingly effective, all things considered.
I decided to spend the 30 minutes doing some basic exercises that I knew how to do. This is a laughably small number, consisting of jumping jacks, sit-ups, and push-ups. To keep in simple (and to keep my hear rate up) I decided on reps on 50. I alternated between sit-ups and push-ups with a round of jumping jacks in between each to keep it challenging. As this was my initial trial, I let it take as long as it needed to happen. I got about as far as two sets of sit ups before I could barely get to 15. Jumping jacks were no problem, and I compensated with extra push-ups. I can still feel the muscles in my stomach and arms. It's not exactly a pain or ache, but I can definitely feel muscles I wasn't feeling before.
I have never really tried to do anything like that before, so for a first time it went pretty well. I will definitely need to vary my exercises and come up with an actual routine though. Otherwise, it's only going to end in injury. Of that, I'm sure
