Daily Workout - Chest in Home Gym with Total Gym

Summer time is an interesting time. There are so many distractions... The last few days we had a party for my wife's work and so there where things to do to get ready and then there was the day of, and then there was the day after which was a bit of a recovery day... I'm not trying to make excuses but at least for me I find that I take a bit more time off from my workouts but in a way I do OK because surprisingly when I get back to my workouts, I feel strong and the few days off don't seem to effect me too much.

• Warmup: Eliptical for 10 minutes.
• Bench Press with Total Gym.
• Flies with Total Gym.
• Arm Raise Flies with Total Gym.

Total workout time: About 1hour.

Daily Workout - Shoulders in Home Gym Finally!

I finally got back into the gym today and did a some what long and drawn out shoulder workout. Mostly because it seems like when I take a bunch of days off, it seems hard to really go hard. I find I have to work into it a bit. It was a good workout even though it did take a while!

Mini Vacation in Whistler BC

It's been a while since I posted anything, I was away in Whistler BC with my wife on a mini vacation for a couple of days and unfortunately the place we stayed at didn't have any workout facilities! I guess it made my get-away more relaxing! We did do a fair bit of walking and shopping but it was counteracted with a bit too much eating and drinking!

Now that I'm back home, I have some catching up to do...

Here are some pictures of the trip

Daily Workout - Back in Home Gym

I only had time for a really quick workout today so I skipped the Elliptical, Abs and Stretching. I did do my back though!!

• Wide Bar Pull Downs (Behind Head).
• Narrow Bar Pull Downs (In Front of Head).
• Seated Rows.

Total workout time: About 35 minutes.
