So, for some time now I’ve been trying to come up with a regular evening lower-body routine to match my morning upper-body free weights routine. My morning one works great. Years of habit make kicking off my day with a quick 15 minutes of weights as natural to me as breakfast and a shower. But […]

It’s completely contrary to how I’d like to spend my day, but here I am, writing all day at work, and coming home, briefly spending half an hour on the elliptical, and then… sitting down and writing
