Today’s Totals & Strength Training - Nov 27th, 2008

Yay, another workout!

I started off with 3 mins cardio (walking/jogging on the spot), the prescribed warm-ups, and then did:

Not too bad a workout, although I now recognize that earlier morning workouts are usually more cautious. What’s most important is that I got up, and I did it. Next lifting day will be Sunday, when I can pretty much pick when I want to work out.

I likely won’t get back on much today, but for all the Americans - Happy Thanksgiving. For us here in Canada, it’s just another day. :)
