EASA: Day 2

Did a second day of EA Sports Active today, even after walking four miles earlier. It was a nice day so I thought instead of getting a taxi from the location of my job interview back to the station, I’d walk. I didn’t count on all the coffee I’d drunk throughout the morning filtering through to my bladder quite so quickly but reached a convenient McDonald’s just in time, otherwise some of Fareham’s local flora would have been watered in a most unpleasant manner.

EASA Day 2 was equally painful, though it involved different exercises and some variations on a few from yesterday. I have quite strong legs but terrible flexibility. This means I can practically hear tendons snapping every time I do a lunge.

The resistance band is tougher than it looks, too. (Famous last words.) To begin with, I was a little nervous of stretching it too far, stories of my sis-in-law breaking hers echoing in my head. But today it successfully put up with doing shoulder presses, stretching right over my head. Neat. Plus, because it’s just a stretchy bit of rubber, you can always replace it even if it does snap.

Tomorrow is scheduled as a “rest day” from EASA so I may go to the gym instead. We’ll see!

(No word from the job interview yet, if you were curious. This means I should hear tomorrow, all being well.)
