Sunday, February 9th Workout: Push Day A -Chest, Shoulder, Triceps & Abs Plus Cardio and Full Body Stretch

Well, it's taken me many, many months of illness, chronic pain and back issues but I was finally feeling well enough to start working out again and now I feel amazing!

I did have to lower all the weights that I was using from my last workout but I knew it would be better to go to the lower amounts than to try for the same weights and injure myself. I also focused on my form which was easier to do with the lower weight and feels like I still got a great workout!

Hopefully this is the start of a consistent fitness routine and I can't wait to work out again tomorrow!
