V Situps: the only thing worse than pullups and planks

OK after getting myself to start today's workout, I can say the training has officially gotten tough.
Jump ropes increased. The thing keeps going every day.
There are more varieties of exercises that are difficult to do.

Fresh meat n vegetables don't cook themselves.

But I did discover it is quite a motivation lifter to just browse through people's latest blogs (special thanks to everyone making those engaging and energetic blogs on a frequent schedule; I have found it is not that simple to do especially when you are so busy PCP-ing every day, so the effort is commendable.)

(mini goals this coming week or two: Leg lifts, V Situps, pullups, and plank, to be able to do them with good form like we were taught, full sets, also more frequent cardio tracking to get rid of the data noise)
