Workout Journal Notes

I’m still feeling Saturday’s speed camp in my glutes big time! The main glute exercise we did was the leg extensors from push-up position.

Since they seem to be so effective, I’m subbed those in for “Bird Dogs” in my body-weight workouts.

Also, I mentioned pH levels in my Weekly Recap yesterday, and I was right, my level was pretty low, about 5.5.

Optimal is about 6.2-7.0, so I’m increasing fruits and veggies as planned to try and lower the acidity and get my pH level up.

It changes quickly, and I’ve already jumped nearly half a point, but I’ll see where it evens out over the next couple of weeks.
