To mix things up and take a break from lifting, I dove into this....

Interestingly enough, the previous program I completed left me a bit more sore than I expected and I'd been having interesting pain in my one palm. I figured it would be a perfect time to not just take a small break from lifting, but to give this particular program a try. While the first day (at least to me) seemed a bit light, I did add a little extra movement to some of the exercises listed, day 3 didn't disappoint. Day 5 appears to be an interesting day ahead.....
