This morning Kelly’s, this afternoon used the backpack leaf blower for about an hour. Ran it out of gas, I’ll finish up tomorrow. 

 

I gotta bust that thing out and spray the yard with air.

On June 13th, I decided to take the summer off from the 3x/wk routine of squats, presses and deadlifts.  Starting over last week at much-reduced weights was not pleasant.  Thighs screamed for two days, but it doesn't take long to get back into the routine.  Feels good.

 

I only work the muscles that keep me upright and help me get out of the TV chair for more ice cream.

[TEWKS]

The first time I started this exercise program I couldn’t walk down stairs for three days!  Having a few pauses over the years it hasn’t been as bad once started again.

At the gym watching 3 heavy weights having difficulty with real life.heavy weight. Maybe if they put it on the end of a squat bar.

My brother, cousin, nephew and I get together once per week to smash tennis balls with a bat. We pitch overhand as fast as our old rag arms will permit. Good fun, ok exercise, and great beer afterwards. Nailing the pitcher with a batted ball earns you a free beer.

@Rougarou  Beat this.

 

 

 

 

[TEWKS]

Haha, he should of been doing a “deadlift”!  That’s some freaky shit!

Ain't happening,....I'm getting torched and won't be displayed!!

[Rougarou]

[TEWKS]

Back at door # seven for the second time today. Hotdogs and beans for dinner, should be interesting. 

[Witty_Low]

Today was upper body day. Hated it!

[syntorz]

I'll trade you upper body day for cardio day every day you want...

[scout6]

Four weeks after shoulder surgery and up to an hour on the Airdyne today.  I got in 16 miles.  My shoulder is feeling pretty good.

[TEWKS]

Something has changed.

Question marks are I don't know/never tried.  Mile run is a maybe,.....I could prolly squeeze it now, maybe, it'd be close and a sprint for me now......back in the day, 7:30 was a 23 minute three mile, which woulda been frowned upon heavily in the grunts.  My fastest was 19:40, but averaged 20:30-21:30

 

Pegboard, I should be able to do that easily.....but haven't been on one since 1993

That makes indoor biking a bit more interesting for sure.

 

Try it on a recumbent style bicycle for a 10x pucker factor! Keeping focus as to not fall over is as exhausting as the physical part.

[duckhawk64]

Agree. I can't even look up at the clock without being thrown off balance. I'm up to 22 minutes without a "dab."

[TEWKS]

The gym has been closed since Christmas, it opens back up on the 2nd. Lots of bad eating in the last week with little movement, I’m very disappointed in myself.     I did get the dogs out today for our typical 2.5 miles and Tuesday, I’ll get back into the gym routine. There’s hope!

This is the time of year my gym time suffers.  Jan 1 thru Valentines Day.  Gym is packed with all the New Years resolution peeps or those trying to line up their Valentines Date.  After Valentines day the crowd thins back out to regular volume and becomes more usable.  When I move somewhere with more space, I can't wait to setup a home gym and avoid the crowd.

It'll turn into a fixture for hanging laundry to dry.  I've always thought if ever diagnosed with a terminal illness, I'd buy a stationary bike or treadmill as a half hour on either made the clock stand still.

Years back, a fitness chain called in September to engage our services but said they couldn't pay until the following February as that's when the bulk of its cash flow came in from January sign ups.  BTW, we said, "okay" and they paid as promised.

Sounds familiar unfortunately

I think Kelly has Richard’s sense of humor!

Zactly, near death aint death!!!

Old HS gym mats Kelly scored when she opened her gym. 

[Witty_Low]

Today was a lower body day.

[TEWKS]

The battle continues. I’ll be back at door # 7 (had to of been following along) tonight if the little one doesn’t have a basketball game. 

 

 

 

[TEWKS]

A good story.

What a turn around, I loved watching him box and didn't know he was in such bad shape
