Crushed the push ups!! I Had to skip the hang cleans, and reverse flys. I slept wrong a couple of nights ago and tweaked something in my back. Everything else I was able to do more reps for. The first fit test however, I was coming off of bronchitis, so I’m interested to see what week eight holds for the fit test

So sore. I can now sit down without moaning as of this morning though 😮‍💨

Love this! It’s amazing sometimes how taking care of ourselves helps other things fall into place!

Another JSU day but once I got into it, it was on! Great session! 💪🏽

I have a space heater in my garage too! I’m not sure which is worse, working out when it’s 20 degrees and the handles of the weights are freezing or sweating bullets when it’s 100% humidity during the summer. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Normally I would sprint up and down my driveway for the HIIT but it’s raining this morning. I improvised and remembered I had this thick band. I wrapped it around my husband’s work bench and did sprints this way. Talk about your heart rate skyrocketing within seconds! 🥵

Jenny Fisher While I have always loved lifting, I’m honestly loving all these different challenges and variety that you have brought to us with The Grind so far!
