Daily Workout - Back with Total Gym

The back is feeling great now, I think I was starting to get used to the regular daily pain and now that it's gone, I almost feel like I have more strength overall.

I've got another chiropractor appointment this Wednesday to see how things are but I don't feel like I need it.

Daily Workout - Chiropractor & Shoulders with Total Gym

Yesterday I went to the Chiropractor in the afternoon and the spent the rest of the day with my kids at Cultas lake. Both went really well!

After my bone crunching I seemed to have more mobility in my lower back and neck and for the rest of the day I felt pretty good. Mind you my back has been feeling OK lately but it feels better than ever now. And today my back feels good. My Chiropractor said I should be 100% after 1 or 2 more visits. She said my lower spine vertebrate where staggered a bit which has been causing me the pain. She also said I was pretty easy to get back in alinement so I guess that was good news.

Today I did shoulders but now that I look at my last post, I should have done back but that's OK I can do back tomorrow! It's convenient having this blog to keep track of things...

Daily Workout Again - Arms - Total Gym

Don't get me wrong, I think Yoga is a great workout and everyone should incorporate it into a fitness program but for me... I feel like I need to do something with a bit more intensity afterwards. That said there are probably Yoga programs out there that would kick my ass! Just not the one I am attend and that's OK because I'm really just in it for the relaxation and stretching. I get my Ass Kicking when I do my MMA.

So tonight I did a quick Elliptical warmup and an Arms Workout on my Total Gym.

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!
