Day 5 – Legs & Back

Today was Legs and Back, followed by Ab Ripper again. I was surprised that the “Back” portion was more pullups and chinups, instead of lower-back core-type stuff. But it helped to break up the squats and lunges of the Leg portion, which was tough since I am still recovering from Plyo on Sunday. I also had a harder time getting up this morning than other days, hopefully I’ll get more into a routine over the next week or so, and it won’t be as bad getting up.

Tomorrow is Kenpo, which should be interesting. I’ve never done any sort of martial arts stuff, so we’ll see how it goes. Depending on how it is, I may end up switching it out with a running day if it’s mostly just cardio so I can stay in running shape during this. Otherwise, I may go for an easy run on Friday mornings to get some good stretching in since it’s my Rest/Stretch day.

I had my first protein shake this morning, which was pretty tasty (mmmmm, chocolate). I need to work on mixing it better, though, and may end up adding in some berries or something in a blender for some extra flavor. Other than that, I think my diet has been pretty good except I might be short on hydration. I’m going to try drinking another bottle of water at work, and more at home while we watch TV and stuff after dinner.
