Well, I’m still struggling a lot with the single-leg romanian deadlift. I feel very off-balance when doing it, so for the moment I’m not raising the weight. I think the planks were a smidgen easier (only a smidgen), but I couldn’t make the 45secs for the last one. Oh well, something to work on.
I’m not sure what the plans for the rest of the day are. The sun is actually shining so I’m thinking maybe a swim before lunch would be a good idea. Although, I’ve got jam to make and I’d really rather swim after that’s done. I’ll see how I feel in a few minutes after I’ve recovered a little.
