Thank you, @JCU , @CODawn , @Syrius , @HellYeah , @MadamMeow , @PETERMORRIS966 , @graoumia , @Fremen!

This week I managed to reactivate my back pain. It passed quickly, but I guess I should be more careful. I’ll take more time doing each exercise. Sometimes (too often) I do the moves too quickly, without taking care to stabilize my back.

Otherwise, my plan wasn’t too bad. I did almost all the workouts that I wrote about last week. I only skipped the optional elliptical, and I replaced Meltdown with Peacemaker because I felt that my back would like it more. I also started the 1000 squats challenge, but I keep forgetting about it... I’m on day 6 now.

Here is my plan for next week. Again, a “compulsory” workout and an optional one for most days.

​	Type​	Main workout​	Type of secondary workout​	Secondary (optional) workout​
Day 8​	Strength (total body)​	Unbroken​	​	​
Day 9​	Cardio​	Fundamentals​	mobility​	Sandman​
Day 10​	Strength (lower body)​	Pretty Little Monster (core)​	strength (core)​	McGill Big 3, (3 sets of 10)
Day 11​	Mobility​	Sore Muscles Stretch​	-​	​
Day 12​	Strength (upper body)​	Seated Hero​	light cardio​	eliptical​
Day 13​	Cardio​	elliptical​	balance​	Cardio Balance​
Day 14​	Mobility​	Spine Mobility​	mobility​	Hamstring Mobility​

Besides these workouts, I started this tai chi program: BEGIN - 30 Days of Tai Chi | Begin with Breath Tai Chi, that I saw @CODawn is doinng. It’s exactly what I need right now – very beginner and time friendly, pleasant, relaxing moves. Thank you, @CODawn !

Have a great week, Bees!

I stayed with the program, mostly, but since I felt a bit more energy, I added some extra stuff on certain days. If there were 3 levels, I did the workouts at lvl. III.

• Unbroken on Sunday
• Fundamentals and Sandman on Monday
• 3 sets of Pretty Little Monster on Tuesday
• 5 sets X 10 reps of McGill Big 3, 10 min. elliptical and Second Spring on Wednesday
• 30 min elliptical and 7sets of Cardio Balance on Thursday
• Seated Hero and 10 min elliptical on Friday
• Spine, Hamstring, Wrist and Neck Mobility yesterday
• Evolution and Ultimate Morning Stretching Part 2 today
• Plus days 7-11 of 1000 squats challenge
• And days 9-15 of BEGIN - 30 Days of Tai Chi

I’m doing the exercises slower so each workout takes more time, but it’s good to focus on balance and correct posture. The challenge is to wake up early enough to have time for them

Here is the program for next week.

	Type	Main workout	Type of secondary workout	Secondary (optional) workout
Day 15	Strength (total body)	Evolution	Mobility	Ultimate Morning Stretching Part 2
Day 16	Cardio	The Grind	light cardio	elliptical
Day 17	Strength (lower body)	Daily Legs	abs & mobility	Goblin Mode
Day 18	Mobility	Neck Mobility, Wrist Mobility, Seated Mobility, Standing Mobility	-
Day 19	Strength (upper body)	Eye of the Tiger	mobility	Sandman
Day 20	Cardio	elliptical	balance	Cardio Balance
Day 21	Mobility	Yoga for back pain (with Adriane)	-

Have a great next week, Bees!
