If it isn't hard, what's the point?
As incredibly stressful as Mondays tend to be, it's so great to look forward to my Monday workout. It makes the work day semi-bearable. 45 min spin class - we did an intense 11 min hill and lots of sprints, 25 min ab class, and 15 min strength training.

Wild Ab Workouts
See John Maulkin, aged 71 and living in Northern Cyprus, do 15 "standing reps" with his ab wheel. Ab wheel? Yes, dare you to find one in the corner of your gym and try just one of these. (Via Conditioning Research.)
Workout
Time to detox
After a weekend of partying, drinking and eating (in celebration of my bday!), I am in need of a detox. Today 45 min of spin, 25 min of abs, and 15 min strength training (mostly arms). It wasn't too brutal jumping back in to things, which was surprising since I haven't worked out since Thurs.
Workout
it's a sad state of affairs when the highlight of your day is the gym and a salad you ate for lunch
Today was rough. Work was miserable, and the rest of the week will be no beter. Pretty much the only 2 things that made it semi-tolerable were this awesome salad I made for lunch and my workout. Not that those things shouldn't bring me joy, but there could have been something else a little pleasant about today.
Workout
back from vaca and back into it
Very sad to be back to snow, cold and work :( Great workout though!
45 min spin - really good class. We've been doing longer endurance segments, which are challenging for me.
25 min abs
weights - arms/chest
