Last night I did most of ARX with the girls at gym, they said they wanted to work on abs so I was happy to oblige. Today I need to get something major done regardless of it being rest week because it is starting to look like I won’t be working out much this weekend. [...]

R7D23 – The Hills
Standing all day yesterday at my new upright desk made my legs tired. I knew when I got home that I was going to have to go and run somewhere to get my running muscles back into shape before Warrior Dash. So after a quick rest on the couch and once the baby was in [...]
R7D22 – Stand
July 19 2011 – The day the desk died. So it’s not the first time I have tried this epic movement away from my desk chair. Once again it was a post by Fitbomb that encouraged me to get my ass out of my chair and convert my work space to a standing space. The [...]
R7D18-21 – On Track.
This weekend saw my daughter with another fever. We had been out at a birthday party for my wife’s cousin’s daughter and once we got back it was furnace city for the little one. Luckily I had planned a day of rest so as she went to bed I did a little Fountain of [...]
R7D17 – Insulin: Don’t Kill The Messenger
Yesterday’s post was a bit of a dog’s breakfast but it got me thinking as I re-read it this morning. I really needed to find out what exactly insulin does and why it has been outed as a bad guy in the whole weight control thing. You see, most people I talk to don’t know [...]
R7D16 – Finding NIMU
Settle in, this is a long one… Well, finding NIMGU doesn’t sound as funny… Fact is I wanted to know a little more about Noninsulin Mediated Glucose Uptake so I did a search and found many useless animal related and diabetic related scientific articles that really didn’t read as being accessible to anyone. I am [...]
R7D12-15 Happy Father’s Day
As usual, sticking with the plan is the biggest challenge but as I sit here on day 15 having successfully managed to fit working out and coaching into a Monday afternoon I am feeling pretty good. After my Plyo revisit, I finished the week with Shoulders and Arms, followed by a light cardio workout that [...]

R7D8-10 – Crushed and Loser
So I am happy to report I am killing the P90X workouts now. Chest and Back was a challenge yesterday but I got out my dip bars that I made last year and did some extra deep pushups instead of regular ones. Happily there is no cardio during C&B since my calves and hip flexors [...]
Is This All For Nothing? Divorce Your Couch.
I have to sit for my job, but I am guilty of riding the couch several hours a week at the least. Turns out, I may as well just quit this whole exercise thing because my lifestyle is killing me… Check this out…
