Daily Workout - Yoga at MMA Gym

I went to another Yoga Class at my MMA Gym, it felt better this time around. Things are starting to loosen up a bit, the trick with Yoga is that your body wants to fight the direction you are asking it to go. It knows that if you go too far in that direction it will get hurt, so it sends out pain messages not to go there. You have to gently work into the moves so your body understands that it won't get hurt, once this happens it starts too loosen up, the pain goes away and you get more stretch. You just have to take your time, relax and wait for your body to let go...

Daily Workout - Shoulders with Total Gym

The two break from workouts was nice, it gave the old body a bit of a rest. Keeping my two young kids out of harms way while camping was not exactly stress free!

So it is definitely nice to get back home and back to my regular routine, picking up where I left off, today was Shoulder day and my equipment of choice was the Total Gym.

10 Minutes Elliptical.

Total Gym - Seated Shoulder Press.

Total Gym - Reverse Shoulder Raises (Lying on Back Upside-down).

Total Gym - Seated Shoulder Raises (Front to Back).

Total Gym - Front Seated Shoulder Raises.

Total Gym - Abs: Seated Side Twists in Forward Position.

Barbells - Shrugs.

Misc. Stretching.

Daily Workout - MMA at World Class Martial Arts

I just wanted to do a quick update as I've been away camping since Friday afternoon. I did however find some time to do get a Friday morning MMA workout in before we left.

We did a pretty heavy warmup that consisted of lots of skipping intermixed with Push-ups, Sit-ups, Squats, Burpies and sprints. Afterwards we worked on Kicking and Takedowns. It was a great workout!

Daily Workout - Chest & Back in Home Gym

I did a bit extra today as I plan to go camping for a few days, tomorrow I hope to do a quick morning MMA workout, then back home to do some last minute work, finish packing and then I'm gone for a few days. I don't think I will have any Internet where I am going but I might get a last minute post in tomorrow before I head out.

Cats: Not That Funny!

This post has nothing to do with Getting Fit Over 40. I just saw this illustration on a Website and it cracked me up. I'm not an anti-cat person, I even have a cat... or should I say, my cat allows me to let it stay in my house!

Anyone using a computer for any amount of time will have no doubt received cat emails from someone they know. The ones where before you can even get to the content of the email, you have to scroll way down past all the CC'd email names, and then all the forwarded quotation levels, and then you get to whatever it is they forwarded to you and everyone in their address book!
