Wonderful to see you! Welcome back! Be sure and tell me how you’ve been

Wow, we are half way through the 30 Days To Better Fitness challenge already!  This has been a month of hardcore workouts with more that its fair share of soreness.  I’ve been about crippled for the last week and [...]

I was thinking all day that today was leg day, but it turns out it was back, biceps & forearms day.  I was feeling pretty fatigued, slightly headachey, but no cramps like yesterday.  My triceps are mostly stiff, but my chest muscles are very sore.
Here’s an explanation of my codes lol.  My target rep range [...]

I’ve been off for a few days due to my injuries in the fall aggravating my one arthritic hip, but I’m back to it today.  I’m crampy and bloated already, so I think I’ll be calling vision for my people soon, if you get my drift.  I was slightly headachey with mild cramps.  The cramps [...]

I was reading my brother, Jimmy’s, fitness diary for Day 3 and this stood out: “during my workouts i dont actuly stop. i just switch muscles, do those reps on that particular set and then go back to the other muscle”.
This is a great point I’d like to elaborate on.  I do something similar most [...]

Oh, man, I’m wiped out.  Everything hurts and I just want to lay down. I have to cook dog food before bed so it’ll be another 2 hours or so till I can go to bed.
Tonight I worked Butt/legs and this is what I did:
Couch Bridge
Lateral Step Up
Leg Lifts
Touchdown
Explosive Lunge
Cross Ankle Lifts
Two Part Squat
Butt Kicker
Butt [...]

I realized that I’ve just talked about my workouts without putting anything down about my fitness goal.  My goal is to be stronger, fitter, and have less body fat by Halloween.  I want monster arms and shoulders, a six pack, and a firmer ass.  I need to be stronger for my own reasons, but also [...]

Wow!  We’re officially in the month of October, which is my power month.  I’m excited.  Lot’s of great things are happening this month.
One of the great things that happened today was my arm workout.  I missed two workout days because my last workout day added more pain to my already painful injuries from the chin [...]

I need to build up some strength, size, and stamina in the next 30 days.  Finally the weather is cooperating here.  It’ was only 86 today in Gilroy, CA, so I’ve been able to work out.  It’s supposed to be in the 80’s this week and down into the 70’s next week.  I’m looking forward [...]

Hello!  Now that the weather is cooler, it’s time to buckle down and focus on getting fitter and healthier - whatever that means for each of us.  I know I don’t have the same goals as my neighbor or even my sister, but what’s important is that I’m doing what’s important FOR ME in order [...]
