Kale'n Me Softly...With This Workout

I paid a visit last weekend to my new favorite Clarendon brunch spot - Oby Lee. 11 am Brunch on Mother's Day anywhere else would be packed - but we were able to get a patio spot for 2 with no problem here. Oby Lee is a roastery, a wine bar, and crêperie all in one!

A little kale mimosa, coffee, and brie and raspberry crepe was a delicious breakfast. Mimosas were a very reasonably priced $4 but we only indulged in one because I still head to make it to the gym later. Usually on the weekends I prefer to gym before brunching but this was a time I made an exception. 

My gym buddy was waiting for me to meet me at the gym later that afternoon. Here was my workout plan:

Warm up - 10 minutes

Circuit 1 (repeat 3x)
Bicep curls w/ dumbells (20 pound weights) - 15
Tricep push backs w/ dumbells (15 pound weights) - 15 each arm
Shoulder press w/ dumbells (20 pound weights) - 12-15

Circuit 2 (repeat 3x)
Squats - 25
Alternating lunges w/ weights - 20 each leg
Weighted wide-stance squat w/ weights - 25
Dead lift (w/ 30 pound weights) - 25

Circuit 3 (repeat 3x)
Ab "bicycles" - 25
Russian twists - 25

Overall Review: 
Lazy Sunday, good to get your gym and mimosa fix in and still have a productive day.
