Last Week of 2020 – Monday

I went to class yesterday – weight lifting and then the stretch & mobility. The weightlifting was good as it was relaxed and a focus on doing the lifts correctly. The stretch & mobility class – not sure who came up with that name but my body did not even think it could move after I got home. It was supposed to be at a more relaxed pace and it was but I think my body can’t handle 2 hours of exercise all together.

General Warm Up

Cool Down
3 rounds
10-15 weighted sit-ups (I actually did 10 of these with an abmat. I had only been able to do sit-ups with my feet under my couch over zoom. So, I wasn’t sure how I would do but I actually did these with a 10# weight.)
20 bird dogs (alternating)

Good workout for today! Have a great day everyone – see you tomorrow!
