Day 34 - Kenpo Karate

Did the workout listening to house music on my iPod again. The music made the routine go by quickly! Feels good to exercise, finding the time is my challenge!

Day 33 - Legs & Back plus Ab Ripper X

Boy, it felt good to work out today! New Personal Best for me for this round with 124 pull-ups and gains in the leg exercises too. ARX felt good, almost matching the video move-for-move, just a couple moves are a few reps short.

Wow! I just looked back on my old posts and discovered that I had never before surpassed 120 pull-ups! That makes me feel great!

Day 32 - Yoga X

Another super-full day, with union training all day and then I spent time with the fam until it was time for bed. I did not get to spend any time with them all weekend, other than Rainmen games, so I needed this time together more than a workout. Back at it tomorrow!

Day 31 - Chest, Shoulders & Triceps

Did not get to do this workout today. I had a union training course all day and we went straight to the Rainmen game. I am disappointed because I remember this being a challenging workout. Oh well, next week!

Day 30 - Cardio

Well, I did cardio in the form of 30 minute hard run on a treadmill at the Good Life near my office. I got a pass to try it out. I am pretty impressed! They have a lot of cardio machines, a circuit training area, heavy weights, a spin area, as well as a large classroom for things like Zumba. The only down side is it takes over an hour to get ot the gym, change, work out, shower, get dressed and back to the office. If I start this a routine, I will have to bring my own lunches and eat at my desk. The plus side of that plan is I will eat healthier too. Hmmm, maybe it all makes sense?!?

Day 29 - Core Syn

Missed today as I had to work late and went right to the kids swim lessons afterward. By the time we got home and put them to bed, I was done for the night. Some days, this idea of working out after work is just not feasible. I am considering other options, like maybe going to the gym near my office at lunch.

Day 28 - Rest or Stretch

Today is the last day of Week 4 - Recovery Week. I had the option of either doing Stretch or resting. After Cubs tonight, I am feeling pretty wiped so I will hit the hay and get a full night's rest. Back to strength training tomorrow!
