I wanted to share with you what I've been up to the past few weeks since I have not spent much "face-time" in front of the camera since I have been doing more tekkie Wristband review stuff. As much as I like the geek side of things it's nice to get back to doing some more workout related videos.

In short, I spent a fair amount of time in June doing Crossfit workouts, at least 3-4 per week and I was still doing my at-home workouts, maybe not as intense at home but I still wanted to touchup on some body parts in my home gym.

The Crossfit workouts definitely added another layer to my workout program and I find they really help push me to the next level and not only incorporate cardio but also powerlifting and body weight exercises. I really noticed it in my legs as we do a lot of power leg work. At the beginning of June I weighed in at about 171-172 and at the end of June I gained 5 pounds weighing in at around 176-177. The good news is my core body weight went up about 5-6 pounds so pretty much all of the weight is muscle.

I got my wife to come down and try out some Crossfit and she ended up liking it so much she joined up with me for a year membership! I hope to share with you some of the Crossfit workouts in the future!
