So funny that after over a week of being sick and working and not being able to workout, my whole body was starting to feel sore.  Was so good to get back in the gym.  My traps are pretty sore the next day.  This workout was great.  Thanks!

Daily score: 7 (sore/stiff back)

Workout:

10 mins ski erg

10 mins row

My usual warm up

10 mins hip/glute/back mobility

I had gotten the new programming yet but needed to move.  This felt so good.  I’ve been horse back riding everyday pretty athletically, it’s a workout.  But it always makes my back tight.  Amazing what a little focused mobility after a good long warm up does.  I felt great for the next days workout too.  Thanks!

For time:
20 burpees

I got a massive upper mid bilateral and cramp on my first manna progression try after two extensions.  A little less the second time and progressively less cramping until almost none on the fifth set.  Video went fine but I got nauseous again this week toward the end during some of the rolling around :/.  Happened last week too but seemed worse today.  I had to try and calm it down before staring the burpees.  Reminds me of pole class.  It comes on so fast.  Definitely a curse of aging for me.  Alas.  Thanks!

Not super happy with how much I pike on the vertical front levers.  I feel like I’m so much more straight.  That was why I went down a step in the progression before.  But I will stick here awhile and see if I can improve it.  Everything else went well.  Thanks!

Had a Christmas party the night before this and definitely felt slow this day.  Those goblet squats are just so hard.  The only way I could keep the tempo was to break them up.  Was sore the next day, all in a good way. Thanks!

Can’t believe I got this behind blogging.  I hope your trip was amazing!  Excited to have completed another Manna step.  I’m sure whatever is next is not easy either.  The flow video was cool, definitely felt well rounded mobile after.  Thanks!
