It was frosty and 29 degrees F for my Thursday’s A workout this morning. As long as you can go inside and get warm, a little chilly fresh air only does a body good. Super workout, but overall it is taking too much time. Going to have to trim things down a bit. I would like to keep my workouts to 90 minutes. Especially on the days when I have to go to work.

I felt a little drained after my workout today. A little sore in a few places probably because of the accumulation of this week’s workouts. Thursday, Friday, and Saturdays are usually my toughest to do workouts. Anyway, the main course of my A workout is done with my 20 kg (44 lbs) kettlebell. The Goblet Squat won the randomized 20 reps for today. Here’s what I did for the whole A workout:

PLANNED	ACTUAL	COMMENTS
Start/Finish – 0430/0600	04:30/06:45	Short form will save about 15 minutes. May consider moving jump rope to a second workout later in the day.
Daily Min (Floor)	as planned	took 24 minutes
Jump Rope Tabata	as planned	Feeling yesterday’s calf workout. Still occasionally catching the rope

I’ve been repeating the same three workouts two times a week for the past 8 months or so. Monday and Thursday starts with my A workout, Tuesday and Friday with my B workout, and Wednesday and Saturday are for my C workouts. I do these workouts from home. I started working out from home when I was living in the middle of the jungle in Thailand with no convenient access to a gym. Since moving back to the USA, I now have all kinds of gym options available to me. I haven’t really had the desire to go to any of them though. I may return to the gym at some point. It’s just right now I don’t feel the need.

Excellent workout today. Getting stronger and my performance of each exercise is still improving. Here’s what I did for my C workout today:
