Exercises done in the past 10 days are quite reasonable, but could have been more. It was just because I was busy with my new job assignment which ate my day time fully. I found difficulties in managing my exercise timings after my duty was over. However, I did the best I could with what I had in hand.

Truth is, as soon as I recieve a phone call from my work colleagues, and I can't help but to fall for peer pressure ....Late night tent gatherings...Plenty of food and drinks...The usual Ramadhan evenings...Can't miss those easily.

This time I have reduced my Cardio activity and focused more into core strengthening, not much of fancy abs that I got but at least I'm on my way there. The static nature of core exercises bores me, especially when holding the position with stability makes is quite tough. I believe If I adapt, it will become easier with time.

I would be lying if I said that I havent gone on my knees during my pushups and planks, but it was just for a split second and back up again...I know that i've done well when my arms start shaking, with my eyes closed and a mind full of echoes screaming "Hold On"...That feeling of hope is quite satisfying....
