I had intended to do this at 12.5, but those weights were gone on my side of the dumbell rack, and I didn't have the oomph to walk over and get them LOL. Which turned out OK due to the fact that I was so gassed I had to stop after 4 on the first set. Once I sucked in some wind, and remembered the right form, I could move forward on these.Calisthenic Back Extension
10 reps
(10)
(12)
I think I will be doing these instead of the back extension machine from here on out; they just feel like they do more good. Once I get to 20, I'll start upping the weight on them to more than zero ;>Post-Workout Cooldown
Bike 5 min
Start/End Heart Rate 142/131
I had walked in planning to do some HIT (either kettlebell swing or ropes, depending on availability) at the end of this session...after the back extensions, I was a little dizzy, so I said naaaah, and finished on the bike. As long as I'm over my max suggested heart rate, I'm not going to push too hard in the short run.

Seeing your post reminds me I should probably start a workout and eating regimen to get fit..
I'll probably get around to that after this next beer or six. 🍺
