Good workout this morning despite a very short night. For some reason, I just wasn't tired last night. I finally made myself go to bed around 1am because my alarm was set for 6:45. I needed some sleep. Eventually I made it there!

My workout was hard for me, but given the sleep deprivation, it's understandable.

E21, random program, level 5.
Stats: 283 cal, 2.75 mi, 30:00 min

I moved on to circuit training and worked my upper body for about half an hour. I did 3 sets of 10 reps with varying levels of weights. I started with my known max weight for that machine for the first 10 reps then I moved down to the next weight in the stack but placed a stackable weight on top and for the third set, I took the stackable weight off and continued at that weight under my max. My gym has stackable weights that are flat and funny looking but fit nicely on top of the normal stack. They range from 3-7 lbs, depending on how thick they are. The only machine I didn't do this on was the shoulder press. I have known issues with that machine so I only did 2 sets of 10 reps at low weight and paid close attention for anything that would signal a problem.

Then I did a mini ab workout and I stretched for 15 minutes. All in all, was a little over an hour.
