Day 4 - The "Beast"

No, the "beast" is not some sort of crazy new exercise or workout..... its a 12 lb. pug. A buddy of mine was going out of town for 4 days and asked me to watch his dog (the "beast" is his actual name). OK, I thought.. how hard can it be to watch a little dog like a pug.

Little did I know.. Pugs have a very difficult time breathing and therefore snore like a freight train. And even better, the Beast likes to sleep on the bed with you.... Yeah! Sounds like fun.

I only mention this whole issue with the Beast because I ended up getting about 2 hours of sleep the first night with the dog and had a VERY difficult time getting out of bed. Finally rolled out at 7:20 am, which means I would definitely be late for work today.

It would have been an easy day to "skip" the workout... but that is another advantage of the 8 minutes in the morning... its only 8 minutes so how much later would it really make me.

So, I hoped out of bed, did my exercises - hamstrings and squats today - and hit the shower in about 12 minutes. Not bad at all.

I must say I really think this program is great for someone as exercise averse as I am. It really is quite easy and I think I will be able to stay on it for the long term.

Now we just have to see if I get results... stay tuned. I will try and type up my current results on a weekly basis, although I would not expect too much the very first week.
