Warmed up on the elliptical then chest and triceps.
These are skull crusher pushups. They work your triceps and shoulder stability. You can do them w/the bar lower and even on the floor.

Warmed up on the rower again, then followed with/shoulders and legs.
Got some fresh eggs delivered so I think I’m going to make egg muffins for the week for my lunches. I say and great way to get those veggies in.

Decided to make some soup -
Seasoned 3 chicken breasts in the crockpot, added some low sodium chicken broth and cooked on high for 3 hrs.
Cut up my veggies - various colored bell peppers, onions, and broccoli- and threw them into a bowl. Seasoned and tossed w/oil. Roasted at 400 for 15 min.
Added the remaining broth to my pot, plus what the chicken cooked in. Added half a box of barley. While I was waiting for it to boil I shredded the chicken. Once the veggies were done I threw those and the chicken in, simmered for about an hr.
Dinner, lunch for the next 2 days, then I’ll portion out the rest and freeze it.

20 min warm up on the elliptical then back and biceps.

Warmed up w/the rower then worked chest and tris.
This is an exercise for your upper and inner chest. The goal is to keep hands level and not to let the weight dip to one side or the other.

Warmed up on the elliptical for 15 min then did my stretching and mobility. Had planned on 2 miles of intervals, but my first 20 seconds of running had some discomfort behind my right knee, so I ended up walking a mile.
I plan on focusing on ankle/knee mobility the next 8 wks and using the rower and bike more. We’ll see how running goes again after a bit.

Got off a bit early and got my total body workout done. Sun is out, but used the elliptical. Too cold outside, lol. It’s amazing how cold 39 feels after a few days of 60 degree weather.
Thought I would share something from my work. This is a monthly newsletter we get. Thought some of the tips were good.

Happy 6 yr ‘Gotcha Day’ Daisy! (Who is in bad need of a haircut 😬😆)

Got my back and bicep w/o in last night after work.
This morning the weather once again fouled my running plans, so spent 40 min in the elliptical listening to wind and thunder and sirens. Then completed my mobility and stretching w/o.

Snow and cold on Sat then 65 and sunny today - worked out w/the garage door open wearing shorts. Gotta love Ohio.
Warmed up on the elliptical then did chest and tris.
This is my last week for my current routine. I’ll be working on planning out my next 8 this week. I’ll be adding in some more strength moves, and focusing on ankle and knees for mobility.
