Gym Diary: Tuesday, April 23, 2013


     Because my boss wants us to come in early on Monday's, I decided I would experiment with using Monday as a rest day from the gym, and use Tuesday through Saturday as gym days.  We'll see how that feels!  

    Anyway, I've had to type report cards for all my students so I'm late posting my diary.  This diary is mainly for my own keep sake record, so it's doesn't really matter how late it is.  





     I spent most of my time doing core work, so I used that stick, that mat, and that ball a bit.  My hands were still feeling a bit sore from the Saturday workout, so I decided to leave the weights alone.
