There’s nothing like the feeling of finishing a great workout and then looking out to see it’s time for snow cardio. Yup, there was enough snow overnight that I had to quickly shovel the driveway to get the family rolling for the day…

Back to the regular work schedule today, but that never really means much to me since my morning schedule stays the same through weekends and holidays. That’s a good thing in my book, as it means it’s easy to wake up and as much as I love variation, I also love the consistency of routine. Back-to-work back work – and then some…

And that’s how you start a new year! Got a shockingly good night of rest, didn’t overdo anything, and woke up to hit the gym with a great New Year’s Day workout…

I just realized I never posted a training blog from Wednesday’s workout. Well, it was great – not much more to say than that. LOL! No more dragging from a potential cold, so all was good. And today was the last workout of 2016, so it was extra great since I wanted to end on a high note…

It was Boxing Day blowout in the gym. Still feeling like I’m fighting something off, as I was a bit slow to start again, but felt great as the workout went on. I’ll have to watch it, though. My son has finally shaken his cold off, but now my wife seems to be next in line. Is it just a matter of time, or can I fight the fight…

Woke up at my normal time this morning (I’m old now, that’s just what happens), but started off in slow motion for my Christmas Eve gym adventures. Still fighting off a slight cold or something, but it was all good once I got through the first few minutes…

I just had my first-ever triple-threat Thursday workout. Thanks to my son coughing in my face over the past couple days, I seem to be fighting off a cold. That meant my body completely ignored my alarm clock and I overslept, so time was limited. At least for the morning of what turned out to be three workouts in one day…

Despite a slightly slow start, it was a terrific Tuesday workout! Had a few early-morning things to take care of before heading into the below-ground muscle dungeon, but the initial sets of squats got the blood flowing in a hurry, and strength continues to go up a bit at every workout…

I love a good winter workout, and some of my best training has been in the cold winter months. That being said, I was glad I didn’t have to leave the house to get to the gym today. It was -10° outside, so throwing on some sweats and heading the to the basement was a welcome treat compared to other options. Great one today, and even better that it’s a Sunday morning with a day of recovery to look forward to…

Talk about a fantastically fierce Friday workout! I woke up anxious to get to the gym, not only because I was motivated to hit the weights, but also because I was in a 10-minute series of lucid dreams after my alarm before finally getting out of bed. Some whacky stuff going on in that head of mine, so I was happy to wake up and with a whole lot of WTH going on in my mind… [Read more…]
