If you’re bored then you’re boring – Harvey Danger, Flagpole Sitta My high hopes for IA are not being met. I am coming to the realization that it’s not what I needed and certainly not what I expected. So instead of following the schedule I am patching together IA, RKC and even P90X and Olympic [...]

It was almost a week before I got to do Vertical Plyo. I had a serious stomach bug for a few days and was not able to get to the basement to do much of anything. So last night, after re-arranging the basement furniture for the new “baby nook” play area, I launched into VP. [...]

The plan for the long weekend looks like this: Friday: Relief, 3 hours coaching Saturday: Move 400lb treadmill, Vertical Plyo, BBQ Sunday: Strength, 5k on treadmill, BBQ in rain apparently Monday: Relief, maybe coaching (not sure if we are working Monday or not…), BBQ in thunderstorm, let off fireworks from deck. Then Tuesday, and Armageddon [...]

For me, fitness is a passion, I just love reading about it, studying it, sharing it with people and so for me this lifestyle is easier that for most. That said, weight is and always has been my nemesis. Today, however, I won the latest installment of the Biggest Loser at work bu losing a [...]

The end of last week was a good time for working out, the weather is getting better, the sun is shining and I did my two current favourite workouts: RKC and IA Vertical Plyo. In stark contrast to the pain I suffered having to do Back To Core again, the RKC immediately took me back [...]

Since I am only counting the IA days, if I choose to jump rope and do RKC today it would not count as day 9. I have been making progress with my rope jumping skills. I am not on to double unders yet but I am up to a full minute of jumping without a [...]

So my wife is not impressed with my admission that I want to reclaim my handstand ability. I told her it was more like donkey kicks and realizing that she may not know about the Shetland Pony I was reduced to comparing myself to a very small donkey, the Chihuahua of donkeys if you will. [...]

Strength is a good workout for me. It is something I can do without much mobility difficulty and I can scale up and down to make it more challenging. There is one move I like in particular and that is the hip flys which I didn’t believe would do anything for me but once I [...]
