Good afternoon all -
A very happy birthday wish to Mr. Lydia!
Cheryl - today's workout sounds tough, and oddly fun.
Pat - great job on the squats! And cool moose!
Mel - I have a hard time pulling things out to give away... I finally got rid of most of the 8-10 sized clothes I haven't worn in almost a year just six weeks ago...
Lydia - I'm not sure why my HRM is telling me to take a recovery week, it doesn't give me a reason... It does think I've been consistently exercising well above my maximum heart rate, I keep forgetting to go in and adjust it before I exercise every time. On the school front, I'm glad DS1 is making some friends - it is hard being in a new school with new rules. cool that he wants to go to the gym to relieve stress!
Alena - I've been thinking about you the last few days, too! Thanks for the info on the supine pullup!
Well, last night I forced myself to exercise when I got home and actually did the best squats of my life as well...
I got down far enough that the back of my thighs were against my calves, and actually got back up! Was pretty cool! My lower back is a little sore today, but I think it is from the hanging knees to elbows, rather than the squats...
So the workouts...
