Monday:

Happy Monday! It was a beautiful weather day with low humidity and a warm breeze. 😌 Such a nice change of pace from the scorching heat we had last week! Even with that, it took me a while to get active. In fact, I felt sluggish and fatigued all weekend. But, by lunch time, I felt the need to get moving.

I love what functional strength training can do on days like today! It can take you from feeling stiff and sore to feeling strong and capable in a single session. The loaded compound movements increases both strength and range of motion. I try to do some moves with lighter weights mixed in along with moves that use more moderate/heavier weight.

That set me up nicely for cardio kickboxing! I decided to use my 16 ounce gloves for this workout as added light resistance. I did three kicking and punching combos with HIIT intervals in the breaks. Somewhere along here I get a second wind that carries me through to the stretch and cooldown. 😅

Total calorie burn = 415 kcals 🥳

Not bad a bad start for how I’ve been feeling lately! I’m gonna work on my bed times and rest/recovery to see if my energy levels bounce back!

He has been an official season ticket holder and a legendary courtside presence at Madison Square Garden for over four decades, having purchased his tickets right before the start of the 1985 season.
