Simple and Basic
I hit the gym again today and did incline DB chest presses, Hammer Strength bench presses and cable crossovers. I followed this with 20 mins each on the stationary bike and x-trainer.

A Good Back Workout
Ok, so I'm staying in the "gym rut", but it was still a good workout. I did DB rows, lat pulldowns, seated cable rows and hanging scapular depression/retraction. I followed this with 15 mins each on the x-trainer and step mill and I finished the day with a run up the Baby Beast with some clients.

Uh, Oh.....I Think I'm Getting In a Rut
It seems I've gotten in a rut with my leg workouts. I guess because I didn't feel like thinking about what I was going to do, I just did the same ole, same ole again for my legs. Leg presses, leg extensions, leg curls and donkey calf raises. I followed this with 30 mins on the x-trainer.
Going to have to do some squats soon!!

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.
