Did I really just use those?

Ok, hopefully my internet connection is better today than it has been. Perhaps I just need to use my phone as a hotspot. So I did a Zoom update and things appeared to better but then as soon as Matt was explaining the workout, my audio kept cutting out. I left class, started my phone hotspot and then rejoined.

Wow, I can’t believe I was able to get through that entire workout with the 15 lb dumbbells! I had the set of 10 lb ones sitting right next to me in case I needed them but I actually felt pretty strong. By the time I got to 8 or 9 squats I wasn’t sure I keep going but then I knew I was at the halfway point so keep going. Ok, I couldn’t breathe when I was finished doing them but I did usually get 1:45 or so to rest before I had to start the next round.

I guess you know it’s a good workout when you feel drenched.
Now to shower and get ready for work. Have a nice day everyone.
