    Upper body workout this morning. I spent half the night telling myself I didn’t want to get up at 4:30 AM, but I was up at 4:30 AM anyway and into the gym as usual. Once again, Bernard mentioned that my abs were definitely flatter, and I’ve noticed that my jeans are fitting more loosely.…

  • Workout #29 (lower body w/Bernard)

    26 Sep 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Bernard was about 15 minutes late this morning and I had a meeting at 8 AM so I needed to start without him. Nevertheless, he arrived about halfway through my first exercise group and things went smoothly from there.
