It may have been cold, wet and windy, but an Upper Table Rock hike with Clista was still totally awesome today!

Heavy Bag, Light Day
I had a lot of chores, business and family related activities today, so I made it a fairly light day for exercise.......30 mins on the heavy bag is all I made time for.

Pullups, Lithia Park, Walking and Gardening
This morning's workout was a pullup workout along the lines of yesterday's bench press workout....lots of sets....heavy, light, high rep, low rep.
In the afternoon, Clista and I ran the Lithia Park trails, then we went on a good walk to check out the art scene in Talent. We ended the day with an hour of heavy gardening.

LTR, Bench Press and Walking
My day got off to a great start with a Lower Table Rock run/power hike and I finished the day with some brisk walks with a client and Clista. The following describes what I did between those activities:
THE BENCH PRESS
High reps, low reps
Fast reps, slow reps
Weights that were heavy
Weights that were light
Some sets were easy
Some were a fight
The bar above me
Loaded with weight
My contracting muscles
In control of my fate
With nothing to lose
And so much to gain
Supine on the bench
The sweat it did rain
The triceps they shook
The pecs they did twitch
That workout was truly
A SON OF A BITCH

UTR and Heavy Bag
An Upper Table Rock hike/run and 30 mins on the heavy bag got my day off to a good start. The rest of the day was spent taking care of business, warmup/cooldown walks with clients and studying for CEUs.

5k Run and Circuits
I got the week off to a great start with a 5k run around the hood this morning. Later, in an attempt to put off studying for CEUs I did 5 circuits of chinups x 10, ring pushups x 20 and plyometric alternating lunges x 30.

KBs, MBs and Lower Table Rock
I took a break from all the studying for CEUs today and did a fun kettlebell and medicine ball workout in the afternoon followed by a Lower Table Rock run in the evening with Clista. We got a sunny break in the rain, a double rainbow and had the Rock all to ourselves!
