Your Workout Today

After a fairly weak effort on Monday that involved nothing more than 45 minutes on an exercise bike (while I was reading a book), I did a bit better last night. Leg presses, machine-aided squats, calf extensions, leg extensions, leg curls and glutes. Then 15-minutes on the eliptical at a good pace. 

Now the key is to not be bad during my non-gym, Thursday night.

I've stuck with it everyday since the 21st.  It's been a little difficult while having to take caution with the knee, but it's also allowed me to focus on other areas that I can tend to neglect... e.g. core, flexibility

I've failed miserably.   I've been a beach lizard for the past week and the only workout was snorkeling!   

Racquetball today though.

On day 5 now. 30 minutes every morning. Mason twists, steam engines, abdominal crunches, raised abdominal crunches, planking, side planking, supermans, windmills and a couple others. I'm using the SWORKIT app in my iPhone. Hopefully I can stick to it. 

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I do various things for my fitness and now that I'm more into golf (and not wrecking my game in the weight room) I am trying different things golf-related. Thought I'd pass on that I'm enjoying a certain exercise in the gym called the "sideways heisman". Might just be called "heisman". It's basically a lunge up on a step, lifting your knee very high while turning your shoulders far toward the leg being lifted. I do it with an 8 or 10 pound medicine ball, arms stretched straight out. Very good exercise that seems to have played a role in my improvement with the club in my hands.

Custom fit RBZ irons. Taylormade RBZ driver. Some crappy old high-bounce Macgregor wedge and an even older Mizuno 5 wood. Haven't settled on a ball yet - still looking. Decades of football, weightlifting and boxing came together to create the world's worst golfer. I'm slowly correcting that now.

Thoracic mobility with deep torso strength exercises.  This includes lower core stability functional movement combine with kettle bell swings, squats, and timed sequenced golf swings.  I like to also throw in some TRX, towel, and band work.

Final stretch of training for my first Half-Marathon. May 21st...

So running, running, and more running. Dropped down from 180 to about 157 so far. In the past 12 weeks, I'll have almost 200 miles in by race day.

That's a lot of dropped weight. Good luck with the race. Please let us know how you do.


I've been working out for about a month now. My wife and I joined a local gym that opened recently in the small town where we live. The gym is unsupervised so we punch in a code to get in and while my wife does her cardio, I'll alternate between lower and upper body workouts, three nights per week.

I have no idea what I'm doing. Just trying to keep the resistance on the light side and do the reps slower until I get to failure. I guess the main purpose is to try and keep my joints and tendons in shape while at the same time trying to regain some lost strength. Would be nice if I could lose a few pounds as well, but I think our diet needs a complete overhaul for that to happen.

Anyway, it feels good to get back into this with a bit more ambition than I've had over the last couple... decades.

We have a big planter box at edge of our front yard facing street. It has been looking a little haggard so I cleaned up the plants and then put down 800 lbs of topsoil and ten bags of red mulch (took two trips in SUV to Home Depot).  Probably sweated out a gallon but it looks better. Wife was happy.

Very cool getting into it for the first time. Just watch a lot of youtube videos...if you find the AthleanX videos, Jeff is very knowledgable and may be able to help you out.

Race went very well. Ended up running 13.51 miles, in 1:54:43...so an 8:30 miles pace. My main goal was under 2 hours, with a secondary goal of 1:55. So I JUST barely beat it!

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
