On Caroline Girvan's Core/Abs Workouts

 

I can't even begin to describe how much I adore this woman. I've been working out with her since July and she's really effective. I normally do her workout series at night and then her 10 minutes core exercises in the morning.

Today, I did her 3 minutes elbow plank challenge. And while my leg was shaking like crazy 2 minutes in, I'm incredibly pleased that I managed to completed it. Cos in February, I couldn't even do 30 seconds plank ya foduzie 1 minute 🫠🫠

Of course, I do accord pilates some recognition cos it's been helping me train my core but for muscle hypertrophy, it's all Caroline Girvan.

I'm currently doing her Iron Series, completed day 4 yesterday. It's her 4th series I'm on having completed Beginner Epic, 2022 Advent Calendar, and the Calisthenics series. So far, I love the Iron Series. The sets are repetitive but the time goes by very quickly. 

My aim is to be able to do 5 minutes plank and that's cos Cher (the singer) said he could still do 5 minutes plank and she was like 70 years when she said that. So I'm optimistic I can improve on my form and core strength with both Pilates and Caroline.

Be awake

 While you're yet to discover your passion/purpose in future, can you just learn simple handy skills to have (just in case)... I know we've said since time immemorial not to pressure anyone or to rest from lockdown, but going with the state of this country, it's of utmost importance that you awake from your slumber. The time for sleeping is gone - over. You should be wide awake by now. This country is a mess... We are on our own. So as you're yet to discover the passion/purpose you should have, try and learn something significant. Learn Google and MS suites - at least even if you no learn anything to do now. Many Undergraduates cannot even navigate as little as MS Word. They don't know what index is, Text alignment, Pagination, etc... Not to talk of the other suites. In my case, I mastered Google docs when my friend (in another location) asked me to create play drama.  Prior to then, I didn't know you can edit and review comments in the application. And that was...

On building JavaScript without help - 1

I know, I have not garnered the expertise YET That I'm very much, still a beginner in web development But it doesn't make me feel any less sad. Because when I follow along tutorials, I grasp what the instructor is doing. And I code along with them However, when push comes to shove (as it did this afternoon, I'm stuck) However, I'm not going to beat myself up, cos I actually succeeded in creating a toggle on the DOM And I'd been wrapping my head around how I did those.  Of course, I know this is a progress, and I tried. And I created something without following along instructions. I'm just recording this here, so I'd reminisce over how I'd felt. At how "slow" I'd felt at this point, this day. I still have a long way to go. But I console myself with the fact that 5 months ago, I didn't know what the hell "a variable" was I was unable to link my stylesheet cos I didn't know how to add a folder A month ago, I didn't know h...

Notions (Today)

Today was something else. Tiring but well spent. (8/8/2019) My first class by 7, and we ran to Political science Dept as it was raining. I didn't really stay through the lectures, it was occupied. I took some shots cos I felt I was dressing cool and all. From there, I went back to the department and my friends and I decided to go to the market to measure the clothes my friends and I would wear for our departmental night. On reaching to the market, to the shop where we could buy materials. Ifechukwu and I bargained for the price. I surprised myself the more with how vocal I was about selection of the material to wear and the bargaining. From there, we got to the place where we measured the clothes, we received biscuits from the people on the line as one was celebrating birthday. It was there I learnt my cloth size as I hadn't measured in a while. We were en route coming back and Ifechukwu saw a place where "bell" was open. She saw an opportunity to buy cloth she w...
