  • Workout #87 (Arms and shoulders)

    13 Apr 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    So I was going to get up at 4:30 and be into the gym bright and early this morning, but I got to bed a little bit later than planned and decided to sleep in until 5:30 and go to the gym at lunch today. I did get to the gym at lunch, and while…

  • Workout #86 (Cardio)

    13 Apr 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I ran out of time to post my workout from yesterday, but I did indeed go and workout after work yesterday. It was Wednesday and that’s a cardio day and I managed to get in a full cardio workout, which felt pretty good. Especially since I almost didn’t go.

  • Workout #85 (Chest & back)

    10 Apr 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Not having slept last night, I headed into the gym early today and got started at about 5:55 AM. I did nearly a full chest and back workout, and discovered some of the pitfalls of skipping several days at the gym. I will try and avoid this in the future as much as possible, but…

  • Workout #84 (Cardio)

    09 Apr 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Well, I may have slept in this morning, but as promised, after missing 4 days of workouts out of pure laziness, I’m back in the saddle again. I went to the gym this afternoon, did a full cardio workout and a group up chest exercises in preparation for a full chest and back workout tomorrow.

  • Workout #83 (Cardio)

    04 Apr 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I went back and forth today, being busy and also wanting to get some reading done during lunch, but my guilt over not going to the gym won out. I headed over there just before noon and did an abbreviated cardio workout because I needed to be back here by 1 PM.

  • Workout #82 (Cardio)

    02 Apr 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Back in the saddle today after skipping Friday’s workout (too sore from my Thursday workout), and Saturday workout (too lazy). I did a full cardio workout and it felt great! I used my original cardio playlist for the first time in a long time. I think that helped.

  • Workout #81 (Lower body w/Bernard)

    29 Mar 2007 » 2 min read about Fitness & Health

    I had my last workout with Bernard this afternoon–at least the last one for a while. I’ve gotten my routine down. I’ve learned all of the machine and free-weights. I may work with him again toward the end of the summer, but I’m going solo for now. Naturally, it was one of my toughest workouts…

  • Workout #80 (Cardio)

    28 Mar 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I’m giving the lunch workouts a try this week and I continued with that today. I finally managed to get back to a full cardio workout (40 minutes) rather than a partial workout. I didn’t have time to do any lower body afterward because I have a meeting at 1 PM (in 5 minutes). But…

  • Workout #79 (Chest & back)

    27 Mar 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I gave myself an extra hour of sleep today and did my workout at lunch again. The weight room was busier than yesterday at lunch time, but still not as busy as it is early in the mornings. Still, I got in a pretty good workout.

  • Workout #78 (Cardio)

    26 Mar 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I almost didn’t go to the gym. I gave myself an hour extra sleep this morning and so I skipped the gym in the morning. Then, as it got close to lunch, I thought about not going, but I convinced myself that I needed to go. The last thing I need happening is to break…

  • Workout #77 (Arms and shoulders)

    24 Mar 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I slept in as late as I could and that turned out to be just about 9 AM. I tossed and turned between 8 and 9 and finally decided to get up and go to the gym to do some kind of workout. Today was an arms and shoulders day, so…

  • Workout #76 (Cardio)

    22 Mar 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Late as we were up last night, I did manage to get up for the gym this morning. I only got about 3 hours of sleep and then tossed and turned for an hour and a half or so before finally getting up. I think it was the adrenaline rush of being on vacation and…
