Livin Strong

Each day a little better thanks to great support from friends and family. Meredith and Brian- you two have really inspired me to find a new meaning in Livestrong and I sincerely appreciate it...I'll be back to normal soon...promise.

Morning water workout at Hollow Rock coached by Brian with the team- a series of stretching, jogging, and plyo work in the poor really helped loosen up the legs and got me on point for the day.

After work a full bod lift at the gym:

4x6 hanging cleans combined with 3x100 jump ropes

Incline BB bench combined with decline russian twists

Med ball split jumps combined dips to fail

NG chin ups combined with 7,7,7 DB shoulder series

A solid lift and now off to bed...preparing for a good Friday of training and fun followed by the beach this coming week.

Spring Tour Engaged

First day of spring training with Brian and Morven began today at Activedge. Went in at about 11 this morning. It was great to see Meredith again and the rest of the crew and get a chance to catch up for a bit, I really hated to be away from the gym for so long.

We did a "tobata" lift which is a timed rotation of mostly body-weight exercises:

6 rounds of the following (20 seconds of activity at each, 10 seconds transition):

Cross over push ups

Leap-frogs

SA Alt KB swings

Sit up to throw- using stability ball against wall

Jump rope

Then 2 minutes of rest followed by 6 more rounds of:

Left arm DB snatch

Left leg Warrior squats

Right arm DB snatch

Right leg Warrior squats

"L-ups" on the decline.

Definitely got tired on that second round of exercises. Then jumped on the bike and did a quick solo ride from the gym to Hollow Rock. It was a quick but windy 3 miles. There I met Brian and Morven and while they did their swim I had a good recovery meal. Definitely tired and will have to dig very deep to keep up in tomorrow's activity. In all it was a great day to kick off the the spring tour and see everyone again.
