Strength training - Routine 1
Holy hell, it’s been a crazy-busy week on my end. I’m up in New Hampshire now on vacation, but I knew I had to squeeze in some exercise because who knows when I’ll be able to back in New York. Everything should be back to normal after Christmas, but I just have to power through until then…

I haven’t done this routine since April, and it was amazing how far I’ve progressed. I remember not being able to hold plank position for 30 seconds, and now I felt like I could easily go past 60 seconds. Thanks, abs!
