And all of the strava stalking I’ve done looks like mtb.

Diabetes is stalking you. What's your workout today?

Lower body weights workout. 20 mins in the sauna.

Jeff Spicoli

Workin' legs today, too. I used to justify skipping them. No more of that. 🙂

That reminds me - I need to see if 5th Avenue candybars are back in stock at CVS.

Excellent! I've gotta get more cardio in. A lot more.

30 minutes of cardio, arms and chest today.

Apr 24, 3:36pm

Leg day for me, and cardio's gotta be part of it.

KCFan85

Apr 24, 3:38pm

Agreed. And I am in the same boat as you. I’d rather put the time in to exercise to avoid Diabeetus and HBP.

specsauce

Apr 24, 3:43pm

I know a bunch of people who have diabetes. Scarier than cardio for sure.

Yep, one day on a specialized epic.

These posts are starting to feel like cardio shaming to me. 😃
