Richard Gibney's 365 Days of Fitness: Day 302

Day 302 Today was another typical Saturday; A little bit of work and a lot of running around. The week is always so busy with work that weekends are the only time to get caught up and the personal stuff. I was quite tired today from being busy and working out. Thursday was the 300 workout, which left me really sore, and yesterday was a super harder rowing / burpee workout. I knew today's workout would have to be a lighter one. My body needed a break but my mind was also running a little low on motivation as well. I through together a light auxiliary strength session.

Today's Workout

This workout did the trick. I pushed the cardio pretty hard yesterday and crushed the strength stuff the day before. So something light involving some smaller muscle groups was just enough to keep things going. Tomorrow is Sunday. I'm hoping for a pretty relaxing day. I'm pretty sure tomorrow's workout will be on the lighter side as well.
