Pretty light workout today as back is a bit tight. Did quite a bit of stretching before the lifts, so workout went longer thatn anticipated.  I did complete the cardio, beside a short run for warm ups.  I do feel much stronger tho.

Rupe's Year of the Body: Day 21

Off Day: Nothing doing today…day of total rest. Going into my 4th week, I am going to step things up a bit. I will be stepping up the cardio days a bit more to include rest days. Stepping into the Lambrada system.

Throat is a bit scratchy today; feels like the cold is coming on, but we will simply have to press on through now won’t we. Sleep wasn’t that great this pass week, but eating is doing relatively well considering.

“Good livin’…keep movin!”
