Holy triple-pronged cardio assault of Doom, Batman, that was humbling!
After heavy back skwatts we rounded off with a brisk metcon to get the heart working: 10 mins on the spin bike, standing, 10 mins running, 10 mins skipping (double unders optional).
Looked easy enough on the board. Wasn't. Its been ages since I did a spin session. My word did my calves feel it after a few minutes... which set me up nicely for the rest. Oof.

Holy broken bones batman! I have no idea what a metcon is but it sounds painful
Well done Rig. Bumps fist 😊
I meant to ask. If you ache after a session do you still do another one the following day. My shoulders and upper arms ache today because of superman's with weights 😕
If i didn't ache when I woke up I would be worried I hadn't woken up.
If I ache a lot in a particular area - shoulders for example, I will not work that area again for a couple of days. If a muscle is too sore to use with a degree of intensity there is not much to be gained working it, quite apart from anything else. But its that old chestnut of distinguishing between 'normal' soreness and 'warning' soreness. Although it may not sound like it often, I always err on the side of caution these days. I'd rather work a different body part or even (no! say it ain't so!) rest and recover quicker than work tired muscles. There will be thousands of training days, no need to force an extra one.
I always have to get the fitness word-a-saurus out when I read one of your workout posts Rig, so always educational, but just a little like one of those behind the cushion horror movies. Can I come out yet?
