As usual it was an exhausting trip. I was hoping to get in an aerobic exercise and was thinking maybe something with stairs but there were none near our cabin plus it rained Weds evening.

I settled on resistance band stuff plus two other exercises.

With resistance bands I did 3 sets, 10 reps each of:
triceps pull down
bicep curl
low pull
shoulder press
twist

Then I did 20 squats and 20 modified pushups (done on knees).

We stumbled back into town this afternoon. I stalled for awhile before hauling myself to the gym and doing some time on the elliptical. 5 minute warm up, 20 minutes at 125-145 BPM, and a 5 minute cool down.

Argued with myself about doing more, but decided I was more just deadly tired than slacking. In any case, I feel better for having gotten in a little aerobic stuff. It's amazing how it can lighten my mood.
