Full-on MIA Monday. Time flies, as it’s been nearly a full month since I posted a training blog, and my last one happened to be on my birthday. No, I haven’t been celebrating nonstop. LOL! Simply not enough time in the day, but I’ll be attempting to bring my blogs back into the daily schedule…

MIA Mania Summary
This morning was the first time since mid-March that I didn’t do all-TORQ, so I’m giving that a bit of a break. A least for today. ha! We’ll see what tomorrow brings, but I was still getting great results from the longer TORQ-based tension times with limited rest. Today felt pretty great, though, so it’s nice to have an entire toolbox of techniques to choose from – though the routine itself has at least remained the same. Might be time for a change there, too.
