It's been tough to find motivation to work out over spring break. I mean, I'm still getting it done, but I miss my workout buddies!
Monday: I put together a full-body circuit and completed it twice. I probably should have done a third time but the burpees really got me!
Tuesday: The pain in my calves has been completely dormant because I haven't been running, but Monday night I slept terribly because the pain was back. I used some topical pain relief cream and put on my compression socks, and a few hours later felt good to try a workout.

| Real Time Pain Relief sent me a few samples of this stuff; it doesn't have as strong of a menthol smell as most topical pain relief creams, and worked just as well. It has a kind of floral scent; it's very nice, actually! |
I did thirty minutes on the max trainer and felt pretty good.
Wednesday: Rest. I got my haircut and didn't want to ruin the blowout with a workout haha!
Thursday: 20 minutes on the max trainer followed by some planks and core stuff. I noticed my calves getting a bit stiff again on the machine, even though I was wearing compression socks.
Friday: Rest. I did some more house cleaning/scrubbing/furniture moving for Passover preparation. Steph and Gordon came in that evening so I opted out of a workout in favor of hanging out with them.
Saturday: I started cooking for Passover Seder around 10:30am and finished the last of the cleaning. Then I did a quick little full-body workout. Sometimes you just gotta fit in what you can!
Sunday: I watched an episode of the
Mystery Science Theater 3000 reboot, which is new to Netflix, while on the max trainer. I used to love this show, and it was hilarious and distracting while I did about 35 minutes of cardio.

| My view from the max trainer was very motivational! |
I finished with some stretching and planks.
