I’m going to start at the end first. It’s not pretty, but click on the graphic to the left to see some interesting stats. It’s been almost 7 months that I have been standing at my desk at work. There are a couple of things I have noticed that are a bit of a surprise [...]

Although I was scheduled to do a rest week, I had decided I wouldn’t. Seems like subconsciously I didn’t like that decision and kind of took it easy this week. By taking it easy I mean: Thursday: Fountain of Youth Yoga with Tony Friday: Killer Cage Abs with kids at gym (below) Saturday: Off Sunday: [...]

They finally arrived in Canada, the New Balance Minimus zero drop barefoot running shoe. It’s just like the vibrams five fingers but without the snide comments about Gorilla feet. Got mine on Saturday at Sportchek, they are awesome. So awesome they make you feel like you have ninja feet when you wear them. I accidentally [...]

Since I am committed to saving money as much as I am to getting fit I decided to make as much crossfit equipment as I could. It all started with the original chin up bar in my basement. It was for P90X when I first started out and was just a cheap metal round bar [...]

I have been doing my P90X workouts in bare feet for as long as I can remember. The only reason I don’t do my Insanity workouts barefoot is because I was afraid of slipping on the ugly grey foam tiles we have on the floor. That is, until now. As you have probably noticed I [...]

I was supposed to be doing Chest, Shoulders and Triceps today, don’t ask me why I thought I was on Legs and Back but I guess in the confusion of the last few days I got mixed up. I decided that having read about Crossfit for a while that I would try a Crossfit approach [...]
