33 min workout

Yesterday I managed to increase my workout time by 3 mins. In my 33 mins I managed to do stretches, pushups, situps, crunches, planks, supermans, leg-lifts and scissor-legs. Some of these exercises are actually not easy for beginners. This video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa5Li3edwl4) shows how to do the plank with proper technique and is for more advanced trainers. However I usually do a simple plank by just holding in the plank position for about 1 min...like in this video(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHQmRINu4jU).

5.4km in 31min 53s

Yesterday I ran 5.4km in 31 mins 53 sec. This is at least 1.5mins faster than my previous timing which means that I am improving very fast. Now that I have less work, I am able to concentrate on my fitness better. I also managed to do 10 mins of pushups, plank, and situps. I will try to increase that to 15 or 20 mins next time. One of the good site for learning new bodyweight training exercises is bodyrock.tv's youtube site - Charliejames1975. It is a great channel for learning new exercises and I highly recommend it for beginners.
