***Making sure that during my cardio, which is what i end all my workouts with. Im focusing on staying “uncomfortable”. I’ve gotten alot better with a higher incline and my cardio seems to have improved significantly. I do small things now like, focus on squeezing my glutes for a few mins, take really long strides for a minute then short faster steps for another. Im progressively raising the incline and upping the speed. Started to really swing my arms with my stride, keeping my fists chest height and really feeling a burn in my upper back/shoulders. Anything i can do to make the workout harder. The increased sweat im wringing out of my tshirt in the locker room is noticeable.

*Today was my first training session with Tom from the gym. We are going to start training on Saturdays. I will most likely continue to go to the gym M-F however may need to change up my workouts depending on what we will be training. Tom is an aesthetics guy that likes to lift BB’ing with some PL’ing. He likes to change his workouts frequently and seldom dose the same workout twice. I will benefit from lifting with someone like him. Its nice to train with someone knowledgeable who also takes fitness seriously.
