A Simple Day
25 mins on the heavy bag got my day started and I followed that with two 1/2 mile walks with the kids when they came over to workout. Later I went to the gym and spent 1/2 hour on the x-trainer.

Pickin' Up The Pace
I hiked up and down the icy Beast this morning with 25 pounds in my pack.......nice start to the day. Then I went to the gym and did incline DB bench press, pec dec, pullups, hanging scapular depression/retraction and seated cable rows. This was followed by 20 intense minutes on the stationary bike. At home I spent 20 minutes alternating between jump rope and heavy bag followed by 10 minutes of squat, pushup, crunch circuits.

A Bit of a Challenge
After yesterday's snatches, my leg workout today was a bit of a challenge. I did leg presses, leg extensions, prone leg curls and donkey calf raises. I followed this with 1/2 hr. on the x-trainer. When I got home I spent 20 mins on the heavy bag.
