so...

does helping a friend move a treadmill count as a workout? :-)

I did that yesterday...but then i went to the gym and did a killer core/legs/chest workout for about 45 minutes. I am a big fan of the bench press/push ups superset. it shreds your chest in no time. followed it up with some lat pull down/seated rows super sets for the shoulders, then did high to low wood choppers and supersetted them with flys. finished with 3 sets of squats, going as low as I could in my squat and then situps/planks/weighted crunches to finish torching the abs. I am basically sore from the base of my neck to my heels....but it's a good sore.

buddy you're a boy make a noise...

Haven't done much vis a vie' exercise since Tuesday, but I have to report that we beat Unity in OT last night. Cookie made the go ahead basket with less than 30 seconds to play...his first basket of the year...and the team played exceptionally hard. So proud that they were able to come back after losing in OT the night before.

fits and starts on the road to fitness

Went to HRD with #1 son Tuesday. There's a pretty nice free weights set up in the back of the school, with a smith machine and a couple hundred pounds of iron, so I decided to get some lifting in while he worked out. I supersetted three sets of db bench presses with push ups doing reps to fail. Then I did 3 sets of dumbell military press, 5 sets of wood choppers, 3 sets of dead lifts, and three sets each of dumbell curls and tricep extensions. Topped it all off with 10 minutes of core work ( planks, crunches holding a 25 lb plate, and leg lifts). All in all a good workout, and I was pretty sore yesterday. Need to get out and run if Mother Nature relents....

The 6th grade played their best game of the year last night, but still fell to Tuscola in Overtime.

uncertain seas ahead

So two months from today, I'm scheduled to become a statistic. I am thinking about making some radical changes....time will tell if they come to fruition.

Fitness-wise, I've nothing to report. I've ocasionally wii'ed, but mostly I'm sitting around, eatin', drinkin', carrying on.
