So fun!  What a great total body workout.  Has me all over sore the next day.  Hope we get a lot more days to do it this season.  I was going to workout the next day but feeling the need to recover, in the sauna instead :).  Thanks!

Feeling this in the hamstrings the next day.  Felt great to be back in the home gym.  Gorgeous day, able to workout with the garage open.  The banded deadlifts are so funny feeling, my brain thinks it knows what a dead lift feels like and these changed that up.  Felt it more in the low back towards the top.   The Harop curls were much more manageable than the Nordic curls but still seemed a bit sore for the knees, nothing terrible.  The banded curls are what made me so sore I think, potent.  Thanks!

Squeezed this one in before flying out for San Diego for the week.  Pretty overall sore the next couple days, including abs.  We bought a weeks yoga pass at a posh rooftop hipster studio.  So far we’ve done one class and one surf session.  It’s beautiful down here and warm.  Feeling lucky! Will be home on the 12th and back to workouts the 13th.  Thanks!

This was tough once again.  Possibly more chest burning post covid but could just be overly sensitive to it.  Legs sore for a couple days after, kinda all over, calves included.  Thanks!

Super sick of sick.  Annnnd I actually had some energy to burn today.  Pretty happy with hitting the weights I did before covid.  Had some light headedness but not terrible.  I’m sure I’ll be sore after this one.  The split squats and Nordic curls are so tough and the band finishers burn.  Thanks!
