Challenge Completed - 100 reps on January 5

Well last night I decided to just do an hour of cardio on the treadmill.
Sometimes it's good to have a rest day when your doing a heavy training routine. It gives your body a chance to rest and recover from the intense beating it receives at the gym.
Because I lift heavy and do high reps my body was starting to ache, the muscles hadn't recovered fully by the time I worked them again.

Plus it was like 38 degrees here in Adelaide yesterday, so last night was a perfect night to go for a ride. So I decided to take my beloved for a night out on the town :D
