As springs comes to and end I feel it’s important to take a walk making sure to stop and smell the medicine balls. ( I could’nt find any roses)

Today was a very, very active rest day.  We took our medicine balls for a walk stopping to do squats, mountain climbers, front squats and jumping jacks.

“I like weights. You know where you stand with them.  Well, sometimes you’re lying under them, trying not to let them crush you, but you see, you KNOW they’d crush you if they could. There’s honesty.”
