Daily Workout - Back in Home Gym

I did a late night workout this evening and I wasn't really looking forward to it. I just didn't feel like I was going to have much energy and motivation for it. On my way back from Texas I stopped in a Seattle Mall to pick up a few gifts for the family and I came across a booth that was selling PowerCore Bands. If you don't know what one is, you can check out their Website for more info. The short explanation is they are supposed to help with your Power, Strength, Balance and Flexibility by making sure your bodies natural energy frequencies are in tune.

Sounds like hogwash right! Well I did a balance test and it made a big difference. Since I purchased my PowerCore Band I have done two workouts and in both workouts I felt noticeably stronger. I'm not sure about the flexibility part yet as I tend to fluctuate every day. But even today heading in to the gym felling like I was going to be low on energy I still pumped out a good strong workout.

• Elliptical for 12 minutes.
• Wide Chin-ups - 3 sets of 10 each.
• Narrow Chin-ups - 3 sets of 10 each.
• Smith Machine Pull-Ups - 3 sets of 10-15.
• Abs: Leg Raises (100).
• Misc. Stretching

Total workout time: About 1 hour.

Daily Workout - Chest in Home Gym

I took a few days off to catchup, I had a bit of jet-lag from the Texas trip, it almost felt like I was coming down with something but I never did get anything! So this morning was the first time I actually felt like I had some energy to do a workout so I got in while I still felt good and did a morning Chest Workout.

Daily Workout - Chest, Shoulders, Back & Arms

I need to get caught up on my posts, I have been working out over the last several days but I've just been super busy so I haven't posted my workouts. I did manage to get a Chest, Back and Shoulders workout done on my Total Gym and today I am away in Austin Texas on Business but I got a late night Arms workout in even after a Long day of travel.

The Gym here at the Holiday In Express is totally lame but you got to use what you got. I've attached a photo of the said weight system...
