Fat Loss Project Day 16

Comments: As I said in my earlier blog, did Day 15 workout at 5 a.m. Cardio was fine, but took quite a bit to get through the circuits. Curious to see how things compare when I do today's workout when I get home later this evening. Day 16 workout at 6 p.m. was totally opposite -- the cardio was hard, but the circuit exercises were easier (at least easier than at 5:30 a.m.!) Don't think my body likes these two-a-days, so hopefully will be able to do the workouts when I get home from class on Mondays and Wednesdays.
