Lower Table Rock and a Chest Workout

The weather was just too nice today to resist the call of the trail so I made time to run/hike Lower Table Rock. I followed this with a quick workout of BB bench presses, DB flye/press supersets and ring pushups. Later I did a couple of 1/2 mile warmup/cooldown walks with a client.

Upper and Lower Table Rocks

I was kind of pushing my luck with daylight again today, but I managed to run/power hike both Table Rocks this afternoon/evening.
Still really need to get to some heavy lifting!

Will try to get to some heavy lifting soon.

Chores and a Photoshoot

Although my only real soreness from yesterday's killer circuits was in my bis and tris, I took the day off from working out. Instead, I spent the morning and evening doing chores around the house, and the afternoon doing a photoshoot with Clista and Alek.

~TOPFIT Turkey Burn~ and UTR

I started my Thanksgiving celebration with an Upper Table Rock run this morning and followed that with the infamous ~TOPFIT Turkey Burn~ workout with Alek (Clista's son). 5 non-stop circuits of 1 minute intervals of squat thrusts, pullups, pushups, squats, SB crunches, SB leg curls and a rest station........count and total all reps.
Hope you all had a healthy holiday!

Lower Table Rock

Right before sunset this evening, Clista and I started hiking up Lower Table Rock. It was a great hike up, a beautiful sunset, a fantastic run across the plateau and a REALLY DARK hike down…….seemed like a good idea at the time.
It was actually quite awesome!

LTR and Heavy Bag

Due to cancellations today I had time to run/hike Lower Table Rock....I was really hoping for some significant snow, but all I got was cold temps and mud.....it was still more than worth it. I followed this with 30 mins on the heavy bag and 1/2 mile warmup and cooldown walks with clients.

20 Killer Minutes of Circuits and 30 mins of Heavy Bag

In addition to warmup and cooldown walks with one client and a couple of pushup challenges with another client, I also spent 30 minutes on the heavy bag. But the main event of the day was the circuits I did.....max number of circuits in 20 minutes of pullups x 5, pushups x 10 and squats x 15.....I managed 25 full circuits with a couple seconds to spare. My previous record on this workout was 22 or 23 circuits.

It was another busy day of business, chores and errands, but I made time for a good 30 min workout of power cleans, chinups and ring pushups followed by 30 mins on the heavy bag.
