Basement: In association with DONGLOVER

I wanted to workout, but not hurt my neck, so I thought an extended AirDyne ride was in order. 

I figured I'd do 30 minutes at a reasonable pace, while watching Netflix, which was good for 373 calories

The entertainment was a Netflix comedy special called "Weirdo" featuring comedian/actor/rapper Donald Glover.   


When you watch that show, the opening credits say: "In association with DONGLOVER."   

Hey, it's his name.   His name is DONGLOVER.

Boxing - Parents' night

The Boy is taking a boxing class, and they offered parents the chance to come and learn about what what they are teaching the kids.  Me and about a half-dozen other parents took advantage of it.

Here's what we did:

Light jog, high knees, butt kickers

Sit-ups and two punches (holding little dumbbells) for 60 seconds (two of them)

Push-up plankhold, then push-ups.

Then it was a bunch of work on jabbing and right cross.  My footwork sucks.
