I did get some minimal workouts in while I was away - the 5K, two swims, and an upper body strength training session, but I took Tuesday and Saturday completely off as they were travel days. Yesterday, I got back on it, as our mild weather continued and I cycled my favorite 30 mile loop. Hopefully no one saw me when I was riding along, just singing out loud, not caring!
This morning I admit I had to drag myself out of bed at 5 to hit the gym for a 6 am leg and back workout. I find it challenging to do legs first thing, but it turned out to be a great workout and put me in a positive, can-do mindset for the rest of the week. This was my low-rep day and I included:
- trap bar deadlifts supersetted with wide grip pullups
- pause squats
- single-arm cable rows
- leg press
- supine grip row supersetted with calf raises
- back extensions
