Walking

I bundled up and walked for about 6 miles in the 25 degree snowy weather.  It's kind of interesting to notice just how harder it is to walk at a brisk pace when you've got heavy boots and thick sweaters on.

Cardio

30 minutes of cardio burning off 300 calories with a peak heart rate of 154.

Thursday

Yesterday I did 3x35 pushups throughout the day. I'm holding off on weights until tomorrow since I played with my beagle for an hour and my forearms hurt. I don't want to tear or strain anything.

130 pushups (1x25, 7x15)
30 minutes of elliptical trainer

I have a terrible cold, so it looks like Wednesday might be the nearest time I could workout.

calisthenics

1x50 pushups, 30 seconds rest, 1x20 pushups.  This evening will consist of me trying 2x25 pushups with a minute rest in between sets.  2x50 pushups.

I'm debating whether I should bike or some non-load bearing exercise since my legs are in pain from attempting squats, which I haven't done in almost two years.
