I'd kinda stopped working on my work stance at work. Didn't do any of it over the Summer. When I got back to it a couple weeks ago, I found that my good old online countdown timer I used in the past had been removed. Bummer...
I went on a search and found one really neat one at www.online-stopwatch.com. You can use it as a stopwatch or a countdown timer or even download it to use it offline as a flash file.
I started doing 90 seconds of fairly low horse stance a couple weeks ago to maybe 2 minutes with the last 60 seconds at a perfect 90 degree angle. Set 2:30 on the timer yesterday but for some reason, gave up with 60 seconds left, lack of will I guess...
I wasn't too happy with that and I set 3 minutes on the timer today and I held it. The last 45 second was pretty much a 90 degree angle, not so much because I wanted too but because I felt just so close to dropping to the floor. Legs were shaking madly by the end of it, but I'm happy I held it.
I don't do it every day and will probably start using my free weights in the basement at home to do squats at one point this Fall, but I wanted to started doing some horse stance sessions to get back in the mood...
At one point, I'll use the clock as a stopwatch and will set it so small I can't read the numbers and I'll try to hold it as long as I can, but that's not for now...

Our instructor is getting frustrated at the lazy horse stances and is making the kids balance a staff across their legs while in the stance. If anyone's falls, he starts the timer over. Yikes!
Go FM!

Keep it up.

Miss Chris: ouch, that's harsh. Took me a few seconds to understand how the staff would go, but once I figured it out, my mind went "ouch"...
Mat: thanks for the cheers. I need them sometimes :)
Take care, Steve.
