Halloween! That means, difficult day!
First there was the work potluck, and of course the candy throughout the office. Then after work, a party with bad food & candy, topped with the kids trick-or-treating.
HOWEVER, I did very well. Not only did I manage to eat properly at the potluck, but the only candy I ate all day was a bite of my daughter's "fun size" Hershey bar.
Finally, in the midst of all that, I managed to work out.
Warmup, 3 sets of 30 seconds each
Jumping Jack
Split Jack
Prisoner Squat
Alternating Lunge
Mountain Climber
Workout, sequential circuit
Multidirectional Lunge, 65 lbs, 2 sets of 20
Underhand-grip Dumbbell Row, 25lbs, 2 sets of 20
Single-leg Bridge, 2 sets of 10
Serratus Dip, 2 sets of 20
Plank, 2 sets of 10
Hanging Scapular Retraction, 2 sets of 10
