I hiked Lower Table Rock this morning.......it was snowing fairly hard on top with a cold stiff breeze. Only a little accumulation though. I was really hoping for more of a storm and several inches of snow, but it was still pretty awesome.
Afterward, I did a bunch of home and business chores in addition to getting my taxes ready.

Heavy Bag and X-Trainer
Due to time constraints and a bit of fatigue, I kept things a little on the light side today and only spent 1/2 hr on the heavy bag and 1/2 hr on the x-trainer.

KBs, MBs, Rings, Jump Rope, Pullup Bar and Yard Work
Today I employed my kettlebells, medicine balls, rings, jump rope and pullup bar for an hour long fantastic workout.....KB 1 arm swings, KB snatches, KB clean & presses, MB plyo presses, MB plyo pullovers, ring pushups, pullups and intervals of jump rope. Later I spent almost an hour doing yard work and followed that with a couple of 1/2 mile warmup/cooldown walks with a client.

5k Run, Walks and Yard Work
My day started with a great 5k road run and ended with 1.5 hrs of yard work thats been put off since fall (still a ton to do too). In between I did a couple of short warmup/cooldown walks with clients and played the part of a punching bag for the same clients......well, actually I had them punching the focus mitts, but it was close to 1/2 hour of holding my hands up non-stop and absorbing some pretty good punches.
