Sunday, Jan. 2: A quick Sunday morning workout: sides, lower back, and two short cardio sessions – one on a treadmill and the other on a beastly stairmaster.

Friday, Jan. 21: Just some walking – as a single man for the first time in a while: 13,564 steps/9.41 km.
Saturday, Jan. 22: A short and sweet 30 minute workout: calves, thighs, hamstrings, one set of lat pulldowns, some light rows, sides, lower back, one set of bicep curls, a two-minute run and 80 jumps with my long-neglected skipping rope. And I’m liking my new gym more and more.
