09/20/2024 Training Log. Hotel Room Leg workout

Bodyweight only

A1: air squats-25,25,25

A2: alternating reverse lunges-20/20, 20/20, 20/20

Ex 3: calf raise-4x25

Total time = 15 minutes 

While I'm accustomed to waking up and being mentally sharp early in the morning (I wake up at 4am most days when I'm on my usual work schedule), I have always been as weak as a kitten until I've been awake for about 2 hours.

But today, the best time to train was as soon as I rolled my happy chaps out of bed in the morning.

I did the above leg workout in the room before a quick shower and continental breakfast.

High reps, short rest, and light weight (just my 200 pounds of bodyweight). 

While this sort of workout won't win me any awards, it felt good, I managed to get a pretty girthy leg pump (as well as a heart pump), and I'm starting out the day with a win before I'm stuck in a car for the next few hours.

Make sure you're carving out some time in your day for a workout. Even if it's just a light, active recovery or bodyweight session. A little bit of formal, daily movement goes a long way.

Don't mistake this as me saying you should train hard every day and take no days off. That's NOT what I'm saying. But, I AM saying that you should do some sort of physical activity (light or heavy, long or brief) each day, even if it's just a walk.
