New Workout! Full Body Strength with Glute & Core AMRAP
Hey FB Family!
Just got back from a week of vacation, and this was the first workout back. Won't lie, I felt it pretty quickly. That first set was a good reminder that a week off shows up fast.
Could have eased back in with something lighter, but there's no better place to get back on track than here, with this team. Knowing you all were showing up made it a lot easier to get out of vacation mode, even when it was still very much lingering.
One thing to take away from this is don't rush the AMRAPs. The format can make you feel like you need to keep moving, but that's not the goal today. Use the time to challenge yourself with weight, set up properly for each exercise, and actually feel the work. Treat it like a simple lifting session. The clock is there to keep you honest, not to race against.
That was the reminder coming back in, too. The temptation after time off is to push harder than you should to make up for it. The smarter move is to settle in, find a pace, and build from there. By the end of Set 3, it felt like the right call.
If you're coming back from time off, this is a solid way back in. Just show up and do the work. The rest takes care of itself.
What do you do to ease back in after time off — or do you just jump straight back in?
