Richard Gibney's 365 Days of Fitness: Day 288

Day 288 Today I had an unusual amount of work to do for a Saturday. I'm usually at the club for an hour or two on Saturdays but today for one reason or another I had to be there for about 5 hours. This was totally fine, Nicole had a bunch of things to get done so I was happy to work a bit more. The only thing was by the time I was finished work I really didn't want to be at the gym anymore. Yesterday I was done with being at work, I guess those feelings carried over a bit to today.

By the time my day was done, I actually hadn't worked as much as I had planned. I had a couple cancellations, with one of them being my last session, so I took that time to bang out a quick circuit based workout.

Today's Workout:

Exercise 1: Chin-ups 50 reps in as few attempts as possible max 30 seconds rest between attempts 15, 15, 10, 10

Circuit: 2 sets / 30 seconds rest between sets

Exercise 2: Kettlebell Swing 50 reps (16kg)

Exercise 3: Leg Blaster Step-up 50 reps per leg

Exercise 4: Push-ups 30 reps

Exercise 5: Knees to Elbows (Hanging Knee Raises) 15 reps

This workout went pretty well. As I mentioned earlier I wasn't super motivated today, so I was happy to get this one done. Tomorrow, I have nothing going on, except for a little grocery shopping, so I don't forsee fitting in a workout being a problem. However, Sunday's typically are the worst day of the week for me in terms of motivation. I think I'll plan on something short, but really hard. We're having a second Thanksgiving dinner with Nicole's Dad tonight, so I'll need to do something hard enough to minimize the assault of calories.
