Baby Got Back

There was no way I could make it to the gym yesterday between shadowing at my clinic site and a meeting at night, so I decided to use yesterday as my cheat day. I decided to skip the gym but had a healthy meal (I’ll be using my cheat meal Friday night for Ryan’s going away party.) I also found out  some pretty awesome news last night! My overview course for my program and externship are going to happen at the same time starting in January. They are 8 weeks long which means I’ll be finished with school in March, I am also eligible to take my national exam in March, and won’t have classes in April or May. A month and a half off school before walking for graduation sounds alright with me!
As for today’s workout is was strictly body weight (with the exception of sumo squats) focusing on the butt and thighs.  I didn't rest between circuits/sets, so I finished the workout relatively quick. If you need to rest, by all means do. Just keep your rest periods short and frequent rather than few and long, this will help keep your heart rate elevated!
