It's finally Friday, we can all relax!
Well I don't know about all of you but I have a love/hate relationship with rest days. I love them because that's where the magic happens with muscle gains. I hate them because I literally want to eat, eat, eat and be the most laziest person ever.
After two rest days, we went to the gym today. My running schedule only had me run 15 minutes for a total of 1.2 miles and then a whole body workout in the weight room. I was able to cut a minute and a half off the run by increasing my pace (YAY)! Also, a thank you to rest days because although my run was short today - it was one of the best runs, my breathing was spot on and my legs felt great!
I also did what's known as cleans in the weight room today (I just found out that was the name for those like two weeks ago, haha). I decided getting stronger at these is going to be one of my goals over the next few months.
After all that, Erbert and Gerberts was definitely in my future... and it was delicious! Even better it fit my macros! Woo!
Until next time -
I'm so happy that running is getting so easy for you! Jealous! But it'll get there for me. Could you explain what cleans is??
ReplyDeleteWell you can look up power cleans and they show some good videos otherwise a clean is where you start off in a squatting position with the bar on the ground. Next you will keep your arms straight and stand up pulling the weight up with you- just like a squat but using your arms and legs. Once you have stood up hold the weight at a little below your waist, you will next flip the weight up in one motion to your chest!!
