Kettlebell Workout #1

Saturday, September 15th, 2007

Yesterday was a workout day and I should have gone on my lunch break, but damned if I couldn’t bring myself to get there.  So I went out to lunch and decided that I’d do a workout at home and try and make use of the kettlebell.  Additionally the weather was perfect.  Cool, but by […]

36 minute workout

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

Of the 2 workouts that I’m switching between this workout is the longer of the 2.  It involves 3 supersets (or what I have turned into supersets), rather than 2.  I timed the weight portion of it and then the cardio/HIIT portion of it.  They were split right down the middle. And believe me, I […]

Put another one in the book!

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

As usual I weighed in again this morning…yeah I know. Last week I said scales weren’t good, but I’m going to do this until I know I’m headed in the right direction. Back to the weigh in. Yeah I was up. Probably the pasta I had the night before. On […]

Ordered!

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

Well I’ve been talking about ordering a Kettlebell since the start of the summer and now that it’s the end of the summer I have ordered one.  It should be here inside of 2 weeks. At least that’s what the site said.  In addition I should be getting 3 of Mike Mahler’s e-books on kettlebells, […]

This workout is just plain hard

Saturday, September 1st, 2007

So I did my workout at home. And much like the rest of the workouts this week I thought I was going to put it in place and blast off at least a minute on it.  Nope.  Not even a second.  I finished in the same 18:29 that I did last week.  I think it’s […]

Progress…

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

sort of.  The scale this morning tells me that this weekend all you can eat junk food festival at the water park did nothing to get me to ripped abz!  I gained almost a pound.  Yeah I know that one shouldn’t really pay attention to scales because I am more concerned about losing fat, but […]

Sun burnt and working out

Monday, August 27th, 2007

We went to the water park yesterday.  It was the first time we’d been to the water park this year.  And despite looking like a white beached whale I took of my shirt…I’m now paying for it.  My shoulders are the color of the fruit punch (crystal light) that I’m drinking right now.  I’ve been […]

Reading EliteFTS doesn’t make you smart

Friday, August 24th, 2007

So there I was upstairs at the gym doing my workout and I hear a voice downstairs mention powerlifting and strongman. So I start to listen to the conversation. It’s not to much longer before one of the guys is talking about one of the powerlifting gals (Kara perhaps or someone else) . […]

Drowning in sweat!

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

Another bodyweight workout in the books. By the time that I was done with the bodyweight part, I had worked up a pretty good sweat. Other than chin-ups, supposed to be 10 (did 5) none of the exercises are mega difficult. What is difficult is to keep going with little breaks and […]

Turbulence Training Bodyweight

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

I dug up one of the old programs I got awhile ago since I’m still a bit undecided on what I want to do.  I think for the time being I’m not really going to worry about what I do and just go where I feel like going and enjoy it.  That may hinder my […]
