The Beast, Kettlebells and Lunges
Three laps of the Beast and about 150 yards of walking lunges got my days started. Later I did a kettlebell workout of KB swings, KB clean and presses, and KB snatches. I finished the day by lunging Elmo.......I'm expecting some pain tomorrow.

Another Mixed Bag Of Activity
After a quick back workout consisting of DB rows, pullups and hanging scapular retraction/depression, I went on a hike with a friend and then finished the day with a couple hours of volleyball.
Overall, a great day!

Bike Riding Weather!
After a couple of warmup/cooldown 1/2 mile walks with the kids this morning, I went on an hour long bike ride........perfect weather for it! After this, I spent about 1/2 hour doing bench presses, DB flyes, and ring pushups.

The Beast X 4, Upper Table Rock and More
I started the day walking the Beasts 4 times and squeezing in a quick workout consisting of squat thrusts/jump pullups (when coming up from the lower position I would jump up, grab the pullup bar and do a pullup) supersetted with max reps of pushups, and DB shoulder presses supersetted with BB curls. Later I hiked Upper Table Rock again.

Just A Little Boxing
It was time for a lighter day again, so the only exercise I made time for was 20 mins on the heavy bag.
