Back on the Bike Seat

It finally didn’t rain on a weekend last week. We are in the middle of a pretty bad drought here in California and we need the rain, I really would just rather it came when I am stuck inside at work and not on the weekend when all I wanted was to try out my [...]

Do Something, Anything

A big problem I am trying to over come is doing nothing just because one part of me is achy.  It is easy to give yourself a pass when you are feeling tired and sore but for me one night can quickly turn into a week. So last night I picked up the 18 lb [...]

Blissing out with the Pain

My legs ache, my legs ache so deep down that it hurts to touch them. Every muscle is screaming out its ire at me. On Saturday Will and I went back to John’s, it has been about 2 months or so since I last went. John was great, he took it easy on me to [...]

Back on the Horse

So this weekend Will and I went back to John’s for a session. It was the first time I have really worked out as you know since that cold. John took it “easy” on me but I sure feeling it.
We started out with some squats, just to get warmed up and then got into swings [...]

Workout 9/8

Ok so here is last nights re-cap
Wall Squats 10 reps, 2 set
1 min interval swing, switching hands (10 lb kb)
Presses 15 reps, 1 set each side (18 lb)

Walked the hallway till I stopped yawning, really confusing Ruby, the cat (who misses Will and is fallowing me EVERYWHERE)
Then, I started to do another [...]

Gettin’ in to Getups

So this Saturday it was back to John’s for some more work with kettlebells. We reviewed swings and presses to make sure our form hadn’t degenerated and did some sets of 2 hand and 1 hand swings. Then the fun started, John made us do timed intervals of 1 hand swings, switching hands at the [...]

Doing my Homework

Ok so here is what I got done out of the workout last night:
Used my 18lb KB

wall squats 5 reps, 3 sets

2 hand swings 15 reps 3 sets

1 hand swings 10 reps per hand 2 sets

Not Enough Reps

Well today I am not even a bit achy in the arms, more reps are definitly needed. Tonight I am going to try 3×12 for everything and see how that goes.
