Notes:
I like having lifting and running within the workouts. I like it because it adds lots of variety to the workouts. Plus, running is great cardio. Running really gets your heart rate up, so it’s good to have low tempo exercises in the workouts as well. I find it’s easy to keep your focus on the lift.
Mondays are a lot tougher than any other day because the weekend is my time to relax, therefore meaning I haven’t done much in a few days. Also, the energy in the room is a tired feel.
