Today was a classic "off" day.
You know the kind: a combination of personal grooming and housework.
I made the decision to give my physical condition top priority by fitting an intense exercise.
Why a Workout on a Rest Day?
Since my phone was mostly stationary today, my step count was pretty low.
I was determined to hit my 5,000-step goal, so a gym session was the perfect solution.
The Workout Routine
To protect my sensitive knees, I started with a session on the cross-trainer.
Then, I incorporated some new exercises inspired by my recent training session:
Lower Body:
Squats with Hexo-Bar (5kg)
Seated Leg Press (30-35kg)
Seated Leg Curl (25kg)
Seated Leg Extension (5kg) - Keeping the weight light to protect my knees while building strength.
Mule Kicks (25kg/leg)
Deadlifts (10kg)
Upper Body:
T-Bar Row (25-35kg)
Shrugs (30-35kg)
Bicep Curls with EZ-Bar (1.25kg)
Core:
Abdominal Crunches (35kg)
Cardio Finish:
10 minutes on the exercise bike
Feeling Accomplished
After an hour and a half, I left the gym feeling satisfied.
Not only did I conquer my step goal, but I also gave my entire body a great workout.
Tomorrow, I'm trading weights for gloves.
Can't wait for a high-intensity boxing session!
Wishing you all the best in life and much health.
