Richard Gibney's 365 Days of Fitness: Day 359

Day 359 Christmas Day is know all across the world as probably the laziest, and most glutinous day  of the year. My Christmas day certainly lived up to this theory. I woke up to a nice big breakfast, then promptly after Nicole and I hopped in my car and drove 3 hrs to see my parents in Edmonton. Then about 20 minutes after arriving at my parents house we sat down for a massive feast. This made for a wonderful day of food and quality time with my loved ones, but it made getting in a workout a little trickier, something that made things even harder was the fact that I couldn't resist the need to fall into a coma after dinner.

Today's Workout

Push-up / V-sit Superset:

Push-ups x 10 reps V-Sits x 10 reps - 10 rounds with no breaks

Air Squats: 100 reps

After Christmas dinner I could have stayed in bed for the rest of the night, but I forced myself to get up and workout. I was worried I was going to fall further asleep and wake up tomorrow without having gotten my workout.

As I mentioned, I didn't have many options. I was pretty much relegated to just body weight exercises. I thought about doing burpees or squat jumps but my stomach was still so full, and I thought I'd probably throw up if I did. I skipped anything too jumpy and decided to do some push-up and v-sits instead. It took me less than 10 minutes and it was quite a bit harder than I thought it would be. For a moment I thought my plan of avoiding throwing up was going to fail. I guess 100 v-sits with a belly full of turkey, ham, yams, potatoes, and Christmas pudding was probably not a good idea,
