Well I did my regular off-day routine (no weights). Did 40 push-ups (getting easier by the day) and 60 sit-ups. Then I ran on the elliptical for 32 minutes. I drank my protein shakes before and after the workout. The funny thing is I don't feel like I have any energy like all the other days. I believe that it's because I haven't actually eaten anything heavy like real food. I've only had the shakes.
I noticed this when I was trying to chase Asher around at the playground and I did not feel normal. Of course it could also be the fact that I got new glasses today and still haven't adjusted to them so my balance is still off.
Later tonight I am going to do some research on what other exercises I could try out with my smith machine. Maybe I will look into some more calisthenics as well. Many people hear calisthenics and think, "oh no back to the horrors of P.E. class." Calisthenics are exercises consisting of a variety of simple movements, usually performed without weights or equipment, that are intended to increase body strength and flexibility using the weight of one's own body for resistance. These exercises are probably better for you in the long run, because if you're trying to be an active person then your body weight is normally resistance that usually causes most injuries. They will help acclimate you to your own body weight which will increase agility.
