    Ran out of gas after doing all the shoulder exercises above and the leg extensions, standing leg curls and only six sets of the donkey calf raises. Still finished off 20 minutes in the sauna and plan to do the adductor and abductor exercises after my cardio and abdomen workout tomorrow afternoon.

    I walk or bicycle almost everywhere I go so I tend not to exercise.

    I had to skip my workout on Wednesday, but managed to squeeze in an hour yesterday instead.
    It was chest and triceps day, and started with dumbbell press x 3. Dumbbell flyes x 3 and decline bench press x 3.
    Followed by a few triceps cable pull exercises before headed home

    Great idea! I can share and use motivation of others as I always find it hard to start a workout, but always enjoy doing them once started.

    Last Thursday, swam 1km suring my lunch break. Great way to avoid the heat!

    Saturday, mountain bike in a horrible trail. Groved by quads an sunk by all the rain we got lately. Wouldn't do this trail again!

    Today, running around a bunch of kids at my son's birthday party.

    Cheers!

    I did an @HolyRollah workout today: 3 sets of unilateral bicep curls while drinking coffee. Many reps on the other side while lifting a fork enjoying a strawberry, basil, pine nut crepe for breakfast. I'm on vacation, so don't judge. :D I did pass on the bacon.

    Normally, I hit the gym 2 to 3x / wk with a trainer and do whatever he tells me.

    I dare not translate it for you as it is full of shame and self-loathing.

    Especially when one is on vacation. It should read I ate the combined weight of the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line in bacon
