Birthday Workout

Early this morning before it heated up, I did my Birthday Workout! Four circuits of KB swings, squat thrusts, pullups, ring pushups, SB crunches and SB leg curls. The reps on the four circuits was my age and my birthdate (52, 8, 25, 58).
Normally because of the high number of reps, I do modified pullups and standard pushups in this workout, but this year I decided to add some difficulty to the workout and did standard pullups and ring pushups…....seemed like a good idea at the time.
Later when my gym heated up to 110 degrees, I spend 1/2 hr on the heavy bag.
I completed my pushup challenge ahead of time a couple of weeks ago and did double my age non-stop (plus one extra for a total... of 105).
