Stretching, 00:20:00

Did some stretching this morning to loosen up for the day. Actually a little sore today from yesterday's workout. I guess that means I'm lifting heavy enough. =D I focused on more lower body stretching, but still included some upper body work as well. I feel I still need work on the ankles, hamstrings, and hips.

Warm Up: joint rotations Stripper Stretches (3x 15 seconds) Burgener Warm Up (Iron Bar, 5x each movement) Work Out: Had a great workout this morning. I moved through things pretty quickly. I think getting up at 4:45 am was the right thing to do. I even managed to get in my kettlebell swings.

Added another exercise in my workday routine. Seems to fit well with what I'm doing. I'm still frustrated that I'm not able to do fully weighted dips just yet. Guess I need to keep working. Of course, it doesn't help that my weight is up to 220. :( Only did two sets of my routine today since I worked out this morning.

Added dumbbell bench press to my at workout workout. I like squeezing in some reps during the day, since it gets me out of my chair. I was a bit surprised at how much I could actually bench, since I haven't done it in awhile. I need more sleep and I need to wake up for my morning routine again, though. I really want to see increased health gains, including more time for cardio work.

Did a hard ride this afternoon. What made it so hard was the wind! It was incredible!! Leaves were blowing everywhere and it seemed to be in our face the whole ride.

Last pull-up set was kipping pull ups. :( I want to get stronger, which is why I'm lifting. I may need to increase the warm up sets for dead lifts. We'll have to see. Warmed up with shoulder rehab lifts w 2.5lb weights. Then used the iron bar for shoulder loosening and pass-throughs. Finally did Burgener warm up with the iron bar, 3x each movement. Felt sufficiently warm to go into...

Had a good workout this morning. I've found a new rhythm with the new puppy. Basically I let the pups out, then start the workout. They stay out and can run around a bit, and I can get my workout in. Feels nice to be back in the 'gym' after laying off for a week. I definitely need to do this, for my mental as well as physical well being. Warmed up with shoulder rehab lifts, t...

Total 5162lb, Reps 92 (Back, Legs, Shoulder)

Felt a bit tired getting out of bed for my workout this morning. I definitely have to fix the sleeping situation in my room. I think another set of curtains are in order. Once I was downstairs and working, I felt a bit better. Warmed up with some shoulder loosening exercises, some pass throughs (still having issues with the right shoulder), and the Burgener warm up. I also added a few hang ...

Total 8585lb, Reps 128 (Back, Chest, Combined, Legs)

Got up and about this morning to get in a workout. I think I need to start going to bed earlier if I really want to be consistent in my morning workouts. Felt a little tired during this AM workout, but pushed through. Planning to do 5x5 program for most movements.

July 18, 2017

Yoga, 00:15:00

Did some easy yoga to work out some of the tightness from lifting yesterday. Felt good to stretch through some of the soreness this morning.

July 17, 2017

Total 7425lb, Reps 115 (Back, Chest, Legs, Shoulder)

Did some lifting to get a feel for how to use my new space. Love it that I have a space and can workout again. Definitely going to start working and lifting for real. I need to remember to start small/light and go from there. Still, it's good to get start. :)

July 14, 2017

Did more lifts today. Legs feel a bit tight/tweaky since I ran earlier this week. Running is definitely weirding out my legs, but I want to do more of it. Guess I just need to keep it up.

July 13, 2017

Jogging, 2.1mi, 00:25:00

Did some interval running and walking with the dog in the evening. He definitely needs to be trotted around a bit. Of course, I do too. :) The route I chose was basically flat, so I didn't really have to worry about inclines. I'll add that in later. Right now, I just want to get in the habit of getting out and doing something.

July 13, 2017

Total 3600lb, Reps 40 (Legs)

Managed to get in 4 sets throughout the day. I am definitely enjoying the movements. They help wake me up. Now I just have to get more sleep to see some of the benefits.

July 12, 2017

Total 2700lb, Reps 30 (Legs)

Trying an experiment to squat occasionally during the day. Did squats throughout the day, focusing on doing one set of 10 sporadically. I figured I needed to start doing more than I'm doing presently. Felt good to do something, even if it wasn't too much. I figure I can do this daily and have a decent benefit.

Mountain biking, 6.5mi, 01:00:00

Had a nice, easy ride w the wife. Lots of fun for a first ride.

March 29, 2017

Running, 00:25:00

Had a fun run/walk through the woods with the pup. I think I'm going to start doing more of this. I think it would be a good way to help him get ready for biking the trails with the family.

March 27, 2017

Total 2750lb, Reps 50 (Combined)

I suck. I'm fat and out of shape and I need to be more consistent. ALso, I should probably look at my eating habits and limit caloric intake for awhile.

March 17, 2017

Total 2200lb, Reps 40 (Combined)

Did some quick kettlebell swings to get in a little exercise. I definitely want more of a routine. Somehow, I need to get Jenny coming to bed earlier. This is tough because of Annika. Not sure of the best way to address this.

March 16, 2017

Jogging, 00:25:00

Did a quick jog/walk with the dog to wear him out a bit before bedtime. He did pretty well, considering. I think I did pretty well too, considering. :)

March 14, 2017

Total 3850lb, Reps 70 (Combined)

I feel fat and out of shape. My stomach seems bloated. I think this might have to do with all of the carbs/sugar I've been eating. I need to stop that and pick better snacks.

March 13, 2017

Walking, 00:35:00

Took the dog for a walk in the evening with Jenny. It was really nice to be able to spend time with her. We were both still so excited by the wonderful Sunday we had. So cool to feel the Spirit.

March 10, 2017

Did kettlebell swings this morning. I kind of like doing them, since they're a quick way to get a workout to start my day. Maybe I will start doing them every morning?

March 8, 2017

Total 3850lb, Reps 70 (Combined)

Trying to get back into my kettlebell swings. Sucks because I can't do as much. I have to be more consistent if I want to see ANY results.

March 8, 2017

Walking, 00:45:00

Went to walk the dog with Jenny. Nice interruption to a day of desk sitting.

March 7, 2017

Walking, 00:45:00

Went on a good walk with Jenny and the dog. It was nice to get out and moving. I forgot how awesome it is to have sunshine on my face. I'm ready for warmer weather!

March 1, 2017

Total 2750lb, Reps 50 (Combined)

Did Russian swings this morning just to do SOMETHING! Still not exactly where I want to be, but something is better than nothing.

February 23, 2017

Total 4360lb, Reps 128 (Combined, Shoulder)

Did some quick workout stuff in the evening before bed. Did mostly one handed exercises. For the kettlebell swings, I did alternating sets of 5 with each hand until I had a total of 80 reps. For the shoulder presses, I did 6 per side. Felt good to get back into doing SOMETHING!

February 22, 2017

Total 3600lb, Reps 80 (Combined)

Did some light swings this evening to get back in the groove after being sick. I'm SO ready to make sure I get healthy again. Jenny didn't do any swings, though. We'll probably get back into the 'swing' of things next week.

February 21, 2017

Yoga, 00:10:00

Late night yoga with the wife before we went to bed. Just some child's pose and a little down dog. My wrist is still hurting, so I can't down dog correctly. I'm ready to not be sick and injured.

February 14, 2017

Yoga, 00:15:00

Did a variation of my normal morning routine today. Felt good to get moving a bit again. Taking the week off from kettlebell swings, though. With everyone getting sick, I don't want to suffer a relapse for Jenny or I.

February 13, 2017

Yoga, 00:15:00

Normal 15 minute routine. Felt good to move through the routine. Need to be more consistent.

February 10, 2017

Total 4125lb, Reps 75 (Combined)

Morning swings with the wife. We did it after our yoga routine.

February 8, 2017

Yoga, 00:15:00

Regular morning routine with Jenny. Felt nice to wake up and 'shake' everything out. I definitely need to be more consistent with my yoga, meaning I should be doing it every day.

February 8, 2017

Total 4125lb, Reps 75 (Combined)

Did two sets of kettlebell swings. The swings actually felt easier today, which is a bit surprising. Still, it was nice to do the swings after my morning yoga routine. Maybe it was easier because of the extra rest I had yesterday? Not sure.

February 6, 2017

Yoga, 00:15:00

Morning routine to wake up and loosen up a bit before hitting the swings. The routine is definitely showing benefits, especially in my ankle and foot flexibility.

February 6, 2017

Total 4125lb, Reps 75 (Combined)

Did my swings this morning. Felt pretty good, well rested and ready to go. Did the swings after my morning yoga with Jenny. Love waking up like this, although it's a bit tough to look forward to the pain. :)

February 5, 2017

Yoga, 00:05:00

Short childs pose/down dog complex to wake up and loosen up. Felt nice to ease into the day.

February 3, 2017

Yoga, 00:15:00

Normal morning yoga routine. Had some technical difficulties but, since Jenny and I know the routine almost by heart, we just did it on our own. It actually felt good to get up and get it done. Hard trying to get everything done that we want. The challenge is how to handle the off days. Also, I think I need to look at tweaking my diet. I'm not happy with my weight right now. Mostly my ...

February 3, 2017

Total 4125lb, Reps 75 (Combined)

Kettlebell swings worked today, after morning yoga. It felt pretty awesome to add some more reps to the exercise. It was tough, but I liked getting it done. I plan to help Jenny with her swings this evening. Should be fun!

February 1, 2017

Yoga, 00:15:00

Did the normal 15 minute routine today to wake up. Didn't do anything yesterday, so it was nice to get moving today. Definitely need to be more consistent on the off days.

February 1, 2017

Total 3850lb, Reps 70 (Combined)

Did my swings this morning. Also helped Jenny get her swings in. Love it that I can help her out. Did the AM yoga but skipped the extra glute work. I don't think we really needed it and it just slowed us down in the morning.

January 30, 2017

Yoga, 00:15:00

Did our morning yoga routine today. Felt good to get the stretches in. Didn't get the workout done on Friday. I need to figure out what's happening and what we can do to make sure Jenny and I get our workouts in.

January 30, 2017

Total 3850lb, Reps 70 (Combined)

Did my morning kettlebell swings today, after my yoga and glute work. Still tough to get the higher weight through the 70 swings in one go. I think I'm going to keep working on it until I can get everything done in one set. After that, I'll probably dial up with reps.

January 26, 2017

Yoga, 00:20:00

Took some time this morning to get the wife on the mats and do our morning routine. I like this longer routine on Tues/Thurs. It hits different places than the shorter routine.

January 25, 2017

Yoga, 00:15:00

Did my normal 15 minute yoga with Jenny this morning. It definitely helps to wake you up right for the day. Yoga has helped increase my flexibility and allowed me to work pain free.

January 25, 2017

Total 3850lb, Reps 70 (Combined)

Had to break up my swings into two sets today. Now that I'm going heavier, it's a bit harder to get all of the swings in with one set. That's a good thing, though. I can tell I'm getting better at it, though. Did this after the yoga and glute work with Jenny.

January 24, 2017

Yoga, 00:20:00

Did a different yoga routine this morning with the wife. This routine included/hit different areas of the body, including the hips and the QL. It's also a bit more aerobic than the typical routine. Nice change of pace.

January 23, 2017

Total 3850lb, Reps 70 (Combined)

Did 2 sets of swings. THe heavier weight definitely makes the swings a bit tougher. I like the challenge, though. Did the swings after we did yoga and our glute work. I may need to increase the weight I use when I do the glute lifts.

January 23, 2017

Yoga, 00:15:00

Did our normal morning routine before we started on the rest of the day. Felt nice to get back to it. I can definitely tell when I miss. I need to look at what we can do on Sunday's to help keep limber.

January 21, 2017

Yoga, 00:15:00

Tried a different routine today to get the work done. Went with something a bit slower and more relaxation based, instead of the normal morning routine. The wife and I completed things, then we were off and running for the day.

January 20, 2017

Total 3050lb, Reps 70 (Combined)

Got the material to make an adjustable kettlebell for my kettlebell swings. Nice to have something heavier to throw about, though I can tell a difference.

January 19, 2017

Total 3375lb, Reps 60 (Combined, Shoulder)

Did a standing shoulder complex after work. Just wanted to get out there and DO SOMETHING! Had a ton of energy and needed an outlet.

January 18, 2017

Yoga, 00:15:00

Did my normal morning routine with Jenny. It's a great way to wake up, that's for sure.

January 18, 2017

Total 2800lb, Reps 80 (Combined)

Did my swings after doing my morning yoga and glute work. I think it's time for me to dial up the weight/reps for the swings. I know it's DEFINITELY time to increase the weight for the glute work.

January 17, 2017

Total 2800lb, Reps 80 (Combined)

Did my kettlebell swings for the day. Felt good to get the exercise in. Did it in the afternoon instead of the morning, but it's all good. I also did the glute work with the wife. Nice to be able to workout with her and help her.

January 17, 2017

Yoga, 00:15:00

Did my normal 15 minute routine. However, instead of doing it in the morning, I did it in the afternoon. The wife and I had a busy morning looking at Minivans. Good day, though I'm not sure we finalized anything.

January 13, 2017

Yoga, 00:10:00

Did a short set of child's pose, down dog and plank rotations this morning. Felt REALLY tired today, so we didn't get our kettlebell swings and glute work in like we normally would. Guess we'll just have to save it for tomorrow.

January 12, 2017

Yoga, 00:15:00

Did our 15 minute morning routine. I'm glad we have this to wake up to. It helps get the blood moving without being too taxing. Jenny mentioned she was a bit tight this morning from the lifting. I consider this a good thing, since it shows a transformation in progress.

January 11, 2017

Yoga, 00:15:00

Did my normal 15 minute routine today. Felt good to wake up that way, though I was a tad sluggish.

January 11, 2017

Total 2800lb, Reps 80 (Combined)

After my morning yoga, I did my morning glute work and swings with Jenny. Felt great to get up and get moving. It was a bit hard because she and I stayed up late, being a bit rowdy last night.

January 10, 2017

Yoga, 00:15:00

Back to our normal morning yoga routine. The 'Greatist' yoga routine just has more stretching instead of the cardio focus of the sun salutations. I liked spending time stretching, especially since we were still a bit tight from the workout yesterday.

January 9, 2017

Yoga, 00:15:00

Did 15 minutes this morning. Did a slightly different routine that focused on just sun salutations for 15 minutes. Not sure if I like it better than the old routine. The nice thing is, it definitely wakes me up for the rest of the workouts in the morning.

January 9, 2017

Total 2800lb, Reps 80 (Combined)

Did more swings this morning after yoga and the glute work with Jenny. Did the same sets/reps as before, with 20 swings double handed and the other 60 alternating between hands. I think I might want to increase the weight a bit.

January 8, 2017

Yoga, 00:05:00

Did a small workout Sunday morning. Started with child's pose, then did some down dog to plank to down dog. Definitely helps keep the hips limber.

January 7, 2017

Yoga, 00:15:00

Did my morning yoga with Jenny in the living room, since the bed room was a bit chilly. Made it nice, since the kids got to experience us working out together. Fun times!

January 7, 2017

Total 2800lb, Reps 80 (Combined)

Did 80 reps today, 20 double handed and the rest alternating single handed. I definitely need to look at how to incorporate more weights into the swings.

January 5, 2017

Total 2450lb, Reps 70 (Combined)

Did my first 10 swings two handed, then completed the rest one handed, alternating hands in sets of 10. Before I did my swings, I included some glute work to activate my glutes before the swings. Nice supplement to the swings in that the work also loosens the hips.

January 5, 2017

Yoga, 00:15:00

I'm definitely getting into the groove of morning yoga. I really like how it wakes me up for the day.

January 4, 2017

Yoga, 00:15:00

Trying to stay consistent with my yoga workouts. Got Jenny up and did my AM yoga. Felt good to go through the movements. I can actually feel an improvement in my feet!

January 3, 2017

Total 2275lb, Reps 65 (Combined)

Early morning kettlebell swings. Did them one handed. Definitely need to look at increasing the weight and/or the number of swings.

January 3, 2017

Yoga, 00:15:00

First day of the back-to-work routine. Felt good to get up and stretch first thing in the morning. Definitely need to keep consistency going.
