Love all the core stuff.  The hamstring curls are so tough for me but I feel like they were better today.  Back has been tight since moving hay but this workout helped loosen things up.  Thanks!

Finally felt like I could move and breathe.  What a bummer to get sick and crush my post vacation workout motivation.  I’ll get back on track though.  The smoke in the air is finally getting better too.  I nearly pulled something big in my upper back on the first set of DLs.  Was so weird, immediate spasms and I felt dizzy.  I rolled on the roller and I think it’s all good now but I didn’t push the weight.  Cossacks were probably the hardest part of this workout, left hip is weaker than right.   Oh and the manna straddle behind the knee parallette thing make my abs cramp!  It’s a start on progress at least!  Thanks!

Broken HS walks

Great workout.  Especially considering the state of my legs.  I have not handstand walked in awhile and it was really fun.  Furthest I got in a stretch was 10 feet.  Felt good after this one and soreness much better the next day.  Also I got a new dexa scan and gained 3.3 pounds of muscle since April!  Body fat is the same.  I gained a pound of fat too but I’ll take that after two weeks of living it up in Italy :).  Good new is we’re on the right track for muscle building.  Especially now that I’m back eating healthy and protein again, Italian’s version of protein is salami.  Thanks!

Good to be back being physical.  Pretty sore the next day.  Mostly glutes.  Did a ton of farm chores after this and I think that helped me from getting to stiff.  Got some ab cramps during/after the new manna progression.  Everything else was straight forward and went well.  Thanks!
