Today's workout included one of my favorite new-to-me (this past month or so) exercises, the medicine ball throw.

And this happened.  I workout in my garage.  I have plenty of space (two car garage, only my car lives in the garage, and I move it into the driveway before working out).  For those of you who work out in your own home space, how do you prevent this sort of thing?  I plan to look into seeing if there's a net, similar to what I hit golf balls into from my mat in my golf room.

Is it really a garage if there aren't dents and cracks in the wall?

You're not wrong, but my house is a new construction (or was when I moved in almost three years ago) and one of those cracks looks mighty deep to me, and I kind of feel I should try to keep my house in better condition than I am.

What did you do to cause that?

There are some exercises in FFG that involve throwing a medicine ball against a wall.  I guess I threw it too hard, or the wall is weaker than I thought, or I should have stood further away (the lattermost is how I handled it today).  I may try to get a net of some sort, hopefully one that can reflect the ball back to me, rather than throwing against a wall.

Suggestion : find a partner who is equally determined and throw it at each other to see who can knock the other over. It is lot more fun and saves on walls. LOL

Started the Stack System today (baseline test). A tad frustrating and tiring learning so much in such a short time, but I figured the first day would be. I got thru it though in one piece!

Heading to the gym now for just a general total body thing, and I'm not gonna go hard in any one area. Super excited though about beginning my speed training for real finally. I've been preparing for this for several weeks, studying the concepts and making sure I'm not a complete newb. I'm also happy to report that my last two weeks of training my weaker, slower left arm for speed has translated quickly into faster speeds already. I'm still slow overall, but it's nice to see my creaky left arm is responding well to this and getting better.

Did 4-5 reps, in a circuit, with 3-4 minute rest between sets.

So this Aeroski apparatus is not a bad workout if anyone wants to get their ski legs back in season without actually skiing. I take the foot trucks out to work on more of a carving sensation (legs closer) then just skidding with wider legs that is easy to gravitate to on east coast slopes.

Was on it for about 20 mins. Got a bit of heart rate going.
