The first workout back is always the hardest, not necessarily during the actual workout but mainly the mental struggle before going back! After a week of doing next-to-nothing my brain was quite keen to stay on holiday & sabotage my plans to return to the gym. Instead of listening to it I donned my workout clothes as quickly as possible & headed out the door.
The result was a fantastic workout--- I started on Thursday's plan (I could have started on Monday's but decided this would be best as I intend to do the next round) & I'm really happy with it. I love the increased reps- they're really pushing me- & as always my favourite part of the workout was abs. I must admit I swapped the 2000m optional rowing with 18min on the cross-trainer (15min level 8 hills & 3min cool-down). I'm not a big fan of the rowing machine for long periods of time as it gives me quite a bit of back pain. Still I did get on it for the 4min warm-up.
