Today Was a Good Day!

I started feeling better yesterday and went to the gym yesterday and today as my cold is slowly going away. Today I did 30 minutes in total on the elliptical machine. 25 minutes on level 8 and then 5 minute cool down, slowly going from level 8 down to 1. Yesterday I worked my legs, glutes and core, so today I focused on upper body strength. I usually do about 5 different arm exercises made up of 3 sets of 15 reps for each one. I make sure I do a combination of exercises that work my biceps, triceps and chest.
I am so happy to be back at the gym! Happy Friday everyone!
