Day 3 done. Thank you @Astro Colin. I’d have skipped it it coming from intense pranayama followed by sweet savasana 😇 ![Screenshot_20220803-183332](https://talkingsoberfiles.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/4X/f/0/4/f04388fcc7e85fa7ad735893fc89869bbd24b4f2.jpeg) I have an indirect proportional relationship with burpees I have to admit. The more I do the less I like them. ---

Yeah, mountain climbers are bad. There is no rest at all only rocking increasing pain 🤐 ---

Made goal. I insisted since I was short yesterday. Because my workout is less than yours I will not be participating in rest days. 😊 ![image](https://talkingsoberfiles.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/4X/d/2/4/d2414ef709184f31e4a383a4ce5822a66621109a.jpeg) ---

Well jumping jacks have been a no go with my knee. Bouncing around is no bueno! Subbed for little rapid box step ups. Squats I did box squats because I’m not supposed to do deep squats yet. Yesterday’s I at least had the energy to add it to my normal strength training. Not today. Dead today. Subbed out the burpees for the planks I missed on day 1. Finished this, threw in a quick 2 mile bike, and took a nap. Editing to add I biked in my Birkenstocks because I was too tired to lace up my trainers 😂 ---

Rest day done. Needed it. Too hot today and barely slept. ---

No rest for me today. Got caught up on the strength training I skipped out on yesterday. More planks, core, and shoulder work. ---

At gym. Rest day but I wanted to keep momentum going. So for first time in years I hit the weight room for a bit of leg work. ![20220804_144255](https://talkingsoberfiles.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/4X/5/d/b/5dbc9607934f970dc91feac947e90575c3b7bc28.jpeg) ---

Missed the first day but done with 2, 3, and 4. I’m not doing 8 rounds - just as many as I think of throughout the day since it’s all bonus working out! ---

Day 5 done! ✅☑ To be honest; I did regular squats instead of jump squats. Still had enough cardio for me! ---
