Default strange syndrome/back to the gym

Starting Thursday a weakness in grip of both hands started. By Friday I was aware of having to concentrate to hold a cup of coffee. Had it been just one side I would have suspected stroke like problems. And lower intestinal problems all day. Fore arms started tingling. Yikes. Called doc, but never got a call back. Next day hands a little better, but tingling moved up to lower jaw. Very slight temp. I chose not to go to the gym either on Friday or Saturday. I otherwise felt OK, but just a bit off. My suspician at this point is some sort of spinal virus - not meningitus(hope and denial?), had it got more severe I would have gone to the emergency room. But I can imagine how that would have gone. SLOWLY.

By Sunday evening I felt mostly OK, so did the following:

6 shoulder exercises with cables
Standing Abs using cables

And six sets of circuits:
Alternating between 2 chins, or 2 pull ups
bench press with bar bell at 135, 2 reps
Deadlift at 185, 2 reps

They all went OK, but this limited workout was enough

HIIT Sprints (my favorite)

3 trot, walk to warm up
4 sets (run one walk one), times actually were pretty good
3 to cool off

One mile total, but obviously was enough

Sauna
