Had an active day today. Hit the gym in the morning for:

Goblet squats
Sumo deadlift
Leg press
Chest supported bent over rows

Then in the afternoon, went on a leisurely 12 mile bike ride with my SO, which may have been a bit much for the first outing of the year. Then after that my SO and I took her Lab for a 3 mile walk including some time playing fetch at the disc golf course. She and I were both wore out after all that, and the dog was almost as tired...

I don’t know what a goblet would squat is but I’m guessing it means you have to squat to fill your wine glass

Either one would get you in shape- just depends which shape you’re going for

PS - I’ve seen that, didn’t know it had a name.

With a 50 pound dumbbell, the first few seem really easy. But by the 12th rep, it doesn't seem so easy any more...

Saturday, a 2 mile light hike on a county park trail. This park is 1/8 of a mile from Interstate 35. I've driven by it hundreds of times but I never even knew it was there until a few weeks ago.
