crazykhajiitlady Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 April 28th - 2 sets of the body-weight circuit, 10 lat pulldowns at 70 lbs, and 15 minute cardio workout April 30th - 3 sets bodyweight circuit with a 7 minute warmup - we had a mini heat wave and no one has air conditioning where I live (it was pretty miserable!) (edit: I also did a 30 minute run in the morning with my coworker!) Friday the 2nd I had a minor medical procedure done, so I let myself take those few days off - I hopped back on the bandwagon today but still taking it easy - did a 30 minute cardio workout and 3x10 lat pulldowns at 70 lbs. This afternoon I'll be back to circuits! Quote Level: 1 | Race: Khajiit| Druid STR: 0 | DEX: 1 | INT: 5 | CON: 2 | WIS: 1 | CHA: 1 =Battle Scroll= Link to comment
