Hi my gym besties, I did this Strength focused HIIT workout on Tuesday and these parts of my back are still sore after 2.5 days! Is it normal? I wanted to do some sort of strength workout today but being sore doesn’t motivate me to do that.

My usual workouts as y’all know are barre, Pilates, yoga, hikes, and walks, so idk if this HIIT workout broke me 🤣🤪

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
