I started off with 3 mins cardio (walking/jogging on the spot), the prescribed warm-ups, and then did:

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.
