A Difficult One Today…
When desire outweighs expectations 🤣
I intended to do a full-on 30-minute leg day today, but didn’t get far. Oh man, the inflexibility!
I can only get better. 😀
- 10 minutes rope flow
- Bulgarian Bag Squats – 10-minute EMOM (but way out of my depth and I was on my last legs pretty quickly).
Next time will be better. 😄
Lunch
Lunch: Powerbowl with some spinach and mushrooms (I fancied some veggies today).
15 minutes post-lunch walk (no mace-work today).
In other news, the first bananas from our orchard are here (latest crop)… 😀
