Richard Gibney's 365 Days of Fitness: Day 134

Day 134 I woke up pretty tired today and had another full day of work today with a one hour break between 2 and 3. I had to fit lunch into that window, so my workout had to be a short one. However, even with energy low and time in short supply I still managed to squeeze in some exercise.

I was envious of my group doing the battle ropes last night, so I decided it would be my turn today. I also tossed in a little bit of the Versa Climber to start (God I hate that machine) and finished with some Jam Ball Med Ball Slams. The Jam Ball is a new piece of equipment we got in the gym recently. Most of our current med balls are reactive and bounce when you throw them. The Jam Ball dies when it hits the ground, meaning that you have to pick it up as well as throw it down. If we had a large tire with a sledge hammer, I would use that instead, but the Jam ball achieves a similar effect, so I was happy to make due.

I was hoping to hit the weights as well today, but time didn't permit. I'll make up for it tomorrow and unlike Monday, I will join in with my group as well. If I wake up in time I may also decide to run to work in the morning. No promises, but I will try.
