Training is going well just finished a killer leg session. lots of plyometrics today and mini circuits of leg stuff with some core excercises sprinkled in.
box jumps,medicine ball wall tosses, 1 legged burpees,split squat jumps,speed squats,speed skater jumps were some of the things I did.
Just got back from a weekend in Tornto, had the best time! I researched a few vegan restaurants before we went and we went to 3 of them and they were all fantastic! one of them was called "fresh" I highly reccomend this if your in the area, lots of great options. My husband is an omnivore but will pretty much eat anything and he said it was the best vegan chicken sandwich he has ever had and ranks it higher than most meat based things he has ever had.
so they have really helthy options as well as vegan comfort food. something for everyone
