Morning and evening? That is dedication.
I was very sore after the last big lift session on Tuesday but I did some today again. Still just stretching for lower body though (and some biking)

Well, I have only a few classes this year... so I'm trying to make the best of my free time. I guess it's one of the perks of being a student...

1h yesterday morning... and 1.5h in the afternoon

This was supposed to be a rest day, but I finished my homework faster than I planned, so took advantage of the extra time and did 1.5h this morning... and another 45 min in the afternoon.

Between lifting and abs I added another 55 minutes.

This morning I started a free weight lifting routine rather than the circuit that I did for 6 weeks. I'm really looking forward to the challenge!

Free weights sure beats circuit. Much harder to do. And it is always good to mix things up or else those muscles get too comfortable.
I did abs as well today. I am getting a tad stronger. Still struggle with those bicycles though.
