Daily Workout - Shoulders with Total Gym in Home Gym

I missed yesterdays workout because I was up at 4am in the morning in order to get to a Rogers Cellular and get in line for an iPhone 4!! And I got one :) I got a 32GB iPhone 4 and it's awesome, well worth the early start to my day. I did end up waiting around at the Rogers store till about 2pm because the activation part took all day, I guess every Rogers store employe was trying to activate iPhone 4's all across the country!

One really nice perk with the iPhone 4 is it has a much better camera so hopefully I will have a bit better photos for you as I usually use my iPhone to take quick photos when I'm in the gym.

So today I am all rested and back in the gym...

Daily Workout - Chest in Home Gym with Total Gym

My Last YouTube Video "The Most Important Workout Technique You'll Ever Learn" took a long time to do! I didn't really think it would take so long but there ended up being a lot of stages: Scripting, and audio recording, and editing the audio, and then adding all the images... I spent several weeks working on it in my spare time. I hope people take the time to watch it because it really has helped me to stay fit and on track to fitness in my 40's.

That said I plan to focus now on videos that showcase exercises using the Total Gym. So stay tuned and see why I like this little inexpensive workout machine so much.

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:
