Cardio Friday

Friday evenings have always been a loss in the past. This was due to me having to attend scout meetings.
But thanks to the summer holidays Friday's are now my own (ish).

So even without the scouts I ended up at the scout hut, for a planning meeting.
I decided to use my trip to the hut as an opportunity to do a bit of running.
Nothing too strenuous, just a little interval running or 30 seconds on 30 seconds off.
On the way home I did the full length in one go (just under 2km)

Even though it was a day for cardio I still couldn't help knocking out a little work with the dumbbells:

Overhead dumbbell press
10kg dumbbells 30reps

Dumbell bicep curls
10kg dumbbells 30 reps

Extended shrugs
10kg dumbbells 15reps

4 rounds of this before my run to get the blood flowing,

Tomorrow is my designated rest day before a visit to the gym on Sunday.
