Day 30…tough going. I’m just about recovered for the alcohol but today I am back to work and it’s hectic. I have a feeling this is going to be one of those long short weeks at work, where because of the bank-holiday and having Monday off, I will now be chasing the week working extra hours to get s**t nailed by Friday. I worked 10 hours today, which added to my commute means that I was out of the house for 12 hours. Whatever your situation you can find the time if you really want it!
Anyway, it’s Shoulders and Traps today and it’s time to hit the gym!
Total Workout Time: 1 hr 2 mins
Cardio: 25 min Walk
On the flat, walk for 25 minutes on the treadmill, it’s straight forward but if I’m honest it’s probably all I’m able for after the weekend.
Cardio Mood: Good to sweat out the badness! Nice!

Comment: Haven’t seen this anywhere previously but it seemed like an exercise that could fail out the muscle. It did, success!
Weights Mood:Nice workout tonight. Happy with my progress and this session should continue to develop my shoulders and trap effectively.
