Daily Workout - Back, Shoulders & Arms

Today was party day for my Mother-in-law, she turned 65. This is one of the reason I have been so busy around the house cleaning and prepping! I really wanted to get a quick workout in today and I needed to catchup on some exercises I missed the last three days due to all the work around the house...

I managed to get a Back, Shoulders and Arms workout done before I had to get ready for the 65th birthday party.

Below are some photos of the event and the house and yard all the work went into:

Daily Workout - More Yard Work!!

For the last three days all I have been doing is yard work. The last two days it's been more like "House Work" but not on the inside, I've been power washing and cleaning like a mad man... 10 hour days. My house has white vinyl siding and it can get really nasty looking in a hurry. And then there is the brick and concert to deal with. There's also a small shed/guest house and the pool house that was filled with all kinds of pool related stuff that all needed cleaning... Well, it's done now and tomorrow morning I am hitting the gym. I can't say that the last three days have been a break. I would much rather have done my regular workouts but then my house and yard wouldn't look as good as they do now. Maybe I'll take a picture of it tomorrow??

Daily Workout - Yard Work at Home

Not too much to say today other than I spent all day doing yard work. It consisted of weed eating, mowing, and more filling holes in the yard. This took me about 6 hours to do and left me beat by the end of the day. I would have to say I burned around 2500 - 3000 calories in all, and had no more energy to do an actual workout.

Daily Workout - Chest in Home Gym

I went to my Chiropractor today for another visit (Second one) and she didn't have to do too much! She said I was good for a while now and could come back in a month or two for a minor maintenance adjustment. I have to say before this recent session, I was not a Chiropractor fan. When I was in my early twenties I had what you would call a very bad experience and swore I would never go back and see another chiropractor. So for years I have lived with moderate back pain. As it looks now this may have been for nothing!

Anyways, today I did a very late Chest workout (After midnight).

  • Warmup: Elliptical.
  • Bench Press with Dumbells.
  • Incline Dumbbell Press Flies.
  • 3 Stage Pushups: Planche, Extended, and Regular.
  • Abs: Side Twists.
  • Misc. Stretching.

Total workout time: About 1 hour.
