Late start to my day kept me from working out this morning. I was very anxious about my first day at work. I probably could have gotten my sets in but didn't want to show up late and make a bad impression.:eek:

Did not get an opportunity to post.....I had a lot of things to do, so I minimized my workout.

I went to my wife's co-taught Zumba session and got in an hour with some awesome ladies.:pepper:

Most guys don't go near Zumba because they think it's girlie. I'm hear to say that it is far from girlie. My wife incorporates plenty of functional movements that'll get your heart up and muscles sore.;)

I had a defensive driving course to attend today. All city employees have to attend if driving city vehicles, or for myself, collecting mileage rates.

I got my workout in late tonight.

[B]Strength[/B] :weight_l:
Back squats

Broke through my plateau and repped 365x4 times!!!:super:

I'm so glad that I suffered through the Russian squat program. I think that it made all the difference.

I love my new job!!! I got paid to go participate in a bootcamp and yoga class this morning. I had planned to check it out anyway, and my supervisor put me on the clock. WIN, WIN!!!:highfive:

[B]WOD[/B]

The curcuit consisted of burpee broad jumps, plank walks, lunges and several other plyo drills.

It was about 45 minutes long, and the instructor rocked. Didn't do all of the yoga portion because I had to scout out the running route at the park for futur reference.

I ran 3 miles in 26 minutes. I haven't been sleeping to well of late, so I did nothing else.....

[B]Active Rest Day[/B]

My sleep has affected my back, again.:( I had a project to participate in, so I used the activity as active recovery.

Did some light, fun games with some kids at a local library. I'm hoping the next couple of nights are better because I begin instructing my boot camps and HIIT soon.

I helped out with a strength and conditioning class. I learned some different exercises and got a feel of some diverse programming.;)

[B]REST DAY[/B]

My back has made me a lame duck, again.....:crutch00:

I'll be playing it by ear for the next few days and may do light exercises.

My back felt a little better today. I've slept on the floor for two days, and it made a difference. I may have to place a board under the mattress to stiffen it up some.....

[B]Active Rest Day[/B]

My back is still plaguing me.....I despise being bed-ridden, so I stay moving and use various stretching techniques throughout the day.

I used a heating pad followed by an ice pack several times today. It's brought some temporary relief but not much. Sitting seems to aggrevate my back a lot, so I've been on my feet more than usual. Hopefully, I can get in to see a doc soon; damned VA!!!:ranting2:
