Kept the Sabbath by not doing the second bout of cardio. Not today, Satan.

@ChongLordUno I can tell I did something high in my hamstrings today from those RDLs, but it’s not waddling-bad

Did 30 minutes of cardio, arms, abs, and calves.

We close on the house tomorrow! I imagine my bank account did a little forlorn “goodbye” wave when I wired over the down payment.

My guess is our governor also shuts down gyms and restaurants tomorrow; we’ll see!

Bank balance still hasn’t recovered :man_facepalming:

I did them the sad version. I’m thinking about calling them “metric system calf raises,” because they’re all kinds of wrong!
