It’s been a while since I posted my weekly workouts…. there’s been so much outdoors play it’s been tough to get everything in! This time of year I spend much less time at the gym, and more time outside. Hiking, biking, paddle boarding, the odd run, and a few plyo workouts at the park. I try to get the gym twice a week to focus on strength, and I make it count when I’m there.

Worked at home and did some course work while walking on my treadmill desk.
