Yesterday was the most exhausting day I've had in years.
My recovery is going rather slowly, I recently hurt my back again simply getting out of a chair of all thing.
Other then that slight delay everything is slowly progressing, I can not squat how ever. Even just 70kg on my back causes severe pain in my lower back.

Stretching and mobility for 30 minutes.
Spin Class 50minutes with 10 minute "warmup"
Up comes my friend and off we go to my very first spin class. What I wasn't told was that it was NOT a beginners one, it was an advanced class.
The warmup alone has my hands and face covered in sweat. My legs were pounding full of muscular exhaustion and pain.
Half way through I couldn't even get into the stnading postion off the seat, my legs were too tired, my arms were too tired to try and keep me up. Specially since were doig this type of push up with out arms while going.
50 minutes later and thank the lord I lasted it we were done. To my relief how ever, I had no sweat marks on my shirt at all. Just a wet face and hands hahaha.
The stretching was extremely basic and not even a challenge for me though.
5 minutes after that it's time for a shower, then time to go swimming for another Hour.
I had not swam or touched a pool in a decade, I've also not cycled in over 6 years.
My friend who goes spinning twice a week and swimming 3 times barely beat me by 15cm in a swimming race in laps.
Although she has far better lungs, in a challenge to see who could get the farthest under water in one breath she beat me by 4 metres.
I have to admit though, the pool did wonders for my back. I had no pain what so ever during of after it all. Even just walking laps in it felt pretty darn good on it.
So after 4 hours of training and some pool fun, I could barely walk. My legs haven't been this wrecked since my first week of squatting 2 years ago.
We sat in the sauna for about 20 minutes, although I can't say I enjoyed it much. It's not my cup to tea really.
Worst part of the entire day/night was the changing rooms. There is seriously an age where men just lose all form of shame and walk around naked, flinging powder and drying bits with hairdryers.
I never understood that at all though.
