Since I work from home, I'm fortunate, and with no appointments till later in the week, I stayed home next to my two fans whirring away on this super hot day.

Fitness Check In Day: 27

Yesterday, I felt like such crap I didn't even check in.

A few things were the same today. I got up and worked out on the glider. Had my usual breakfast and did another few minutes on the glider followed by some work with the resistance bands.
