Finally got my ass to a gym in Addis for my first ever self-motivated crossfit-type workout

3 sets:

250m row
25 sit ups
15 tricep extensions on each arm
10 burpees

I wanted to get to 50 burpees while deluding myself into thinking that they're not that bad so I did:

4 sets of:

10 airsquats
5 burpees

And finished off with 25 strict pushups.

Feelin' less guilty! See y'all soon.
