Definitely a rarity in Michigan in February, sunshine isn't much of a thing either...hope you did your best to enjoy it!

I just feel like I need to share this and here is the best place to do it. I'm a 6 day a week training person because I love to train, it's my happy place. But recently I've noticed more days (I think related to perimenopause hormone changes) that I just don't have the same "I'm gonna kill this energy". I've had to have some grace with myself and listen to what movement will work those days and save the HIIT sessions for another day. Sometimes it means I have to change my training plans for the week (I'm type A so easier said than done). That said I'm listening to my body and it's working so much better as I accept these little adjustments. Like today instead of more cardio I did some yoga after the back session. So glad I did. Just wanted to share to remind others it's ok to adjust as you need and you can still get movement in.

I know right?! I have to see what we are doing before I can pick my weight...the benefit of typically doing the sessions later. I can pause and get my weights set up. 😆😁

I really loved the fast pace of this one. Will definitely come back and try to increase my weights even more. So salty! ❤️❤️❤️🥵

This one was a ton of fun. I did it after the back day session and it was a great finisher. I honestly thought after 3 minutes you were gonna have us do 2 minutes. I half thought about making my own last 2 minute session and then I quickly remembered my shoulders were already fully toasted 🥵😆

I go to Costco and get the Pellegrino flavored sparkling waters as my go-to.

Just did the yoga this morning and I loved it! Saved it as a favorite for later. Definitely a nice travel staple when HIIT is not right for the day. Happy Sunday Salty Sisters 😁

You're looking amazing and you're finding a way even when life throws in some curve balls. Keep killing it lady!

Christine Bush Roman ok, update from this morning. The plates from the dumbbell only set can be used on the barbell set but not vice versa. Shouldn't be a problem since I can still load up my barbell fully. Also if I want to create one heavy dumbbell for something like a goblet squat I can simply use the dumbbell only set of plates (those handles are longer). Still works, wouldn't change my purchase, but want to be honest in all of it.

Christine Bush Roman Ok, sorry, last thing on why I got both sets...when doing the math on how I could gradually increase the dumbbell weight if I wanted to use 2 at the same time, I needed a bigger amount of plates.  Just getting the barbell set (which comes with dumbbell handles) I couldn't get heavy enough for the dumbbells or the barbell for things like deadlifts and hip thrusts.  

Also this was cheaper than just buying the plates individually when I priced out the plates at the store.  Meaning, if I just got the barbell set and bought additional plates (which seems logical at first blush) it was actually going to cost me more than buying the dumbbell set on Amazon instead.  Crazy I know...but thought I'd save you the research I did locally.
