Daily Workout - Shoulders and Arms with Total Gym

OK, it's official, I'm back on a roll and feeling good again. I still need to regain some strength and as I found out today "my Cardio". I have been putting off the Cardio for a while during December, no time and poor health has made it hard. Today I did a quick 10 minutes and man was I tired! Granted I pack in about 200 calories burned in the short 10 minutes.

Today I got a good Shoulders and Arms workout in and even did some Stretching and Cardio!

Daily Workout - I'm Still Alive!

I'm still alive! I was really sick for a while, every time I thought I was getting better I got worse just after! Well it's been a few days and I'm definitely much better now - enough to do a Chest and Back workout on my Total Gym. The only good part about being deathly ill over the holiday season is that I didn't have a big appetite and so even with all the great food hanging around I still managed to keep off the Christmas pounds.

I have missed a couple of weeks of workouts and so I imagine it will take a couple of weeks to get back my strength... I plan to keep my next few weeks worth of workouts to high rep low weight routines and then follow it up with a couple weeks of heavy weight low rep routines.

'Tis the Season to Get Sick!

WOW, it's been a week of phlegm! I have been in no shape to workout for over a week, I did do a quick back workout a few days ago but then the next day I kind of paid for it. I'm still hacking up Lord knows what but at least now I'm starting to feel human again and may attempt another workout tonight :)

Daily Workout - Chest - Home Gym - Cold & Flu Season

This year has been a tuff one for colds and flues in our family. The kids have brought home pretty much every single virus and cold from school you can imagine. They seem to not get effected too badly, but my poor wife has been getting nailed hard by them... And for me, I have faired pretty well so far, but lately they seem to be creeping up on me and doing a bit more damage. Today I feel another one coming on but I got into the gym anyways. Tomorrow it may get worse and I may have to rest it out.
