Nope, no case of the Mondays here...

So I am a very lucky person, I actually work virtually full time. What this means is that I rarely ever have to go into the office. So my schedule is quite flexible for food and workouts. Today however I have to go in for my mid-year performance evaluation (I am amazing, what else do they really need to know?).

So I made sure to get up early (5:30) this morning to get in a quick work out. I've been mixing up my shiz for the last month or so because I was in a horrible plateau so I've been doing Gina's Summer Shape-up workouts. Mondays are always just cardio. Today I mixed it up with a little HIIT training. My hamstring has been a major biotch since last week and I took it easy over the weekend. It felt better today but not perfect. So I made sure to spend about 15 minutes stretching out AFTER my workout this morning. Here is how my HIIT looked:
