Today's Workout:

Cardio: Short Swim 850 m

Strength: Chest & Back

Strength: Chest & Back

I made it to the gym bright and early this morning at 5:30 am. Had to make sure to fit the workout in before starting work. I started following this program a year ago, and completed the 5 months progress, and thought I'd follow it again and see some strength gains. THis program really helped to shape my lifestyle to what it is now.

I also decided since it's the summer, I'm going to go back to intermittent fasting. My eating window will be 8 hours, between 12:00 and 20:00. This way I can still enjoy eating dinner with my family. So fasted workouts are going to be a bit of a struggle maybe.

Today's workout went great. I forgot how much supersets kill you. I went in lifting heavy and kept it up. I made sure to push the same amount of weight I was pushing for 11 reps during the Shortcut to Size program. By the 4th and 5th set my muscles were just screaming. Look forward to my open water swim later in the day, since work interrupts my workouts!

Swim: 850 m

Managed to get a great open water swim in today before having dinner at my sister's house. As it is her birthday. The wetsuit is to die for in 62F water. The air temperature was hot, so the water was refreshing. I swam fc one length of the buoy line, and then br back. X3. On the last lap, I had a huge charliehorse/cramp in my right calf, and had to finish it one legged. Who knows how leg day will turn out tomorrow.

Distance: 900m
Total time: 22:35
Moving time: 18:34

Due up tomorrow:

Strength: Legs and Abs
Cardio: Medium bike, 18 km
