Bench Press And Some Light Aerobics

Today I walked the Beast twice and Elmo once in addition to a 1/2 hr bench press workout. Nothing too exciting.

A Simple Day of Recovery

After all the bending, twisting, squatting and lifting I did yesterday helping the kids move, I kept it simple today and only did a 1 hr bike ride, 20 mins on the heavy bag, 20 mins on the x-trainer and a couple hours of volleyball. A nice recovery day.

Moving Day

I didn't find any time for a regular workout, but I think I made up for it by spending 12 hours helping the kids move.

Walking and Circuits

I started the day with 2 brisk 1/2 mile warmup/cooldown walks with clients and followed this with about 1/2 hr of circuits of squat thrusts, pushups, pullups, lunges, jumping jacks and x-trainer. Later I spent about 2 hours helping the kids move.....lots of lifting and carrying, and more to come tomorrow.

A Whole Lotta This And That

All of the various non-exercise activities almost kept me from doing any kind of workout today, but I finally squeezed in 20 mins on the heavy bag and 20 mins on the x-trainer. Not a bad day overall.

Bike, Cleans and Power Cleans

After an hour long bike ride, I spent about 1/2 hour doing cleans, power cleans and a few sets of pushups on the rings. With a few various other activities, it made for a decent day of activity.

Push 'n' Pull 'n' Pedal

It was a pretty basic, but intense workout today.......DB incline bench presses, lat pulldowns, cable crossovers and seated cable rows followed by 30 intense minutes on the stationary bike.

Bike 'n' Boxing

Today was a great day for a 1 hr bike ride which was followed by 20 mins on the heavy bag and 2 laps of Elmo........a nice moderate day of mostly aerobic activity.

Random Activities

Although the day was full of various random activities, there wasn't anything that would necessarily qualify as "exercise"........basically a rest day I guess.

Plyos and X-Trainer

I started the day with about 45 mins of upper and lower body plyos followed by 30 mins on the x-trainer. Add in some various light activities, and it made for a pretty good day.

Just A Little Cardio/Aerobics

One lap of the Beast in the morning followed by 20 mins each on the heavy bag and x-trainer in the afternoon was all I could fit in today.

Bike and Circuits

I started out with a good 1 hr bike ride and followed that with a little metabolic madness kick in the ass workout where I completed as many circuits of the following as I could in 20 mins.....I completed 21 with 5 secs left over......
pullups x 5
pushups x 10
squats x 15

Soooooo.......what did you do today?

A Little This, A Little That

One lap of the Beast started the day and I followed that with a workout of weighted and unweighted pullups, one arm high cable rows, hanging scapular retraction/depression, and crunches. I finished the day with 20 mins on the x-trainer.

Rest Day

Lots of various light activities, but no specific exercise today.

Bench Press Plus

In addition to various light activities during the day, I walked the Beast twice and Elmo once. I also did a great workout of heavy bench presses, supersets of DB flyes and DB bench presses, and decline pushups. A pretty decent day.

I'll Probably Be Feeling This Tomorrow

I started the day with a little bit of work in the yard out in the rain and then I did a great leg workout of front squats, SLDLs, staionary lunges w/DBs and calf raises followed by 30 mins on the x-trainer. And as has become the norm for Mondays, I finished the day with a couple hours of volleyball.

Another Basic Sunday

The usual Sunday......in addition to a couple of 1/2 mile warmup/cooldown walks with the kids, we did 5 circuits of box jumps or step ups, pullups, pushups and KB swings or squats.....30 secs work, 30 secs rest. Throw in some other light activities and it was an ok day of activity.

Yard Work

Although there were some various light activities again today, my main "workout" was several hours of yard work......I'm really paying for all those months of procrastination. Accomplished a lot, but still tons to do.

A Great Bike Ride

In addition to some various light activities, I went on a great 1 hr bike ride which included some hills I hadn't done in quite awhile.......perfect day for a ride!

The Beast and Metabolic Madness

Today's fun started with 2 laps of the Beast and was followed a few hours later by some serious metabolic madness......I did 5 circuits of the following:

handstand pushups x 5
pullups x 10
squats x 15
pushups x 20
crunches x 25
run 400 m

Not a bad little bit of fun, if I don't say so myself!

Rest Day

Lots of light activities, but no real exercise today.

Another Fairly Light Day

Nothing too intense or exciting today......just 30 mins on the heavy bag, walked 1 lap of the Beast and 5 laps of the lower part of Elmo. But, I guess after yesterday, that's enough.

Back, Stepmill, Volleyball

I started the day with a good 40 min workout of primarily back exercises followed by 20 mins on the stepmill and finished the day with a couple hours of volleyball......totally burned up the calories today!

Plyos

Two 1/2 mile warmup/cooldown walks with the kids got the day started and I followed that with almost an hour of lower body plyos. Not bad for a lazy Sunday.

TOPFIT 400 With A Side Of X-Trainer

Today's workout was the TOPFIT 400 with the x-trainer worked in before and after each exercise, so it looked like this..........
x-trainer x 5 mins
pullups (modified) x 100
x-trainer x 5 mins
pushups x 100
x-trainer x 5 mins
crunches x 100
x-trainer x 5 mins
squats x 100
x-trainer x 5 mins

Hmmmm......I might have to share this one or something similar with a few people soon.

A Little More Activity

A good workout of incline DB bench presses, Hammer Strength bench presses and cable crossovers followed by 20 mins on the stepmill got my day off to a great start. Later I did KB clean & presses and 1 arm KB swings.

Light Day

I guess I need to kick it up a notch tomorrow......two light days in a row.....yikes! Today I did a quick workout of snatches and power snatches, followed by a little quality time with my heavy bag.

Light Activities

The day was filled with several light activities, but overall it was a rest day.

A Good Basic Workout

I made it to the gym today for a good basic leg workout consisting of leg presses, leg curls, leg extensions and calf raises. I followed this with 20 mins on the stationary bike.

A big "way to go" to JP and SP for kicking butt doing a similar workout to my Tabatas 'n' Boxing workout from 2 days ago (we subbed the x-trainer for boxing).

Fairly High Activity Day

A good back workout started the day. I did DB rows (worked up to triples with 135#), lat pulldowns, Hammer Strength high rows and hanging scapular depression/retraction. I followed this with 20 mins on the stepmill. Later, I found time for 20 mins on the x-trainer and I finished the day with 2 laps of the Beast.

Tabatas 'n' Boxing

After doing two 1/2 mile warmup/cooldown walks when the kids came over this morning for their workout, I did the following:

Heavy bag x 5 mins
Tabata pullups
Heavy bag x 5 mins
Tabata ring pushups
Heavy bag x 5 mins
Tabata SB crunches
Heavy bag x 5 mins
Tabata squats
Heavy bag x 5 mins

It was such a fun little workout, I think I might just have to share it this week......any volunteers?
