That's because you use machines. |
a couple years ago you'd be right but not the case anymore. i primarily use free weights and my body weight; the only machines i use are the cable pulley and lat pulldown. |

Did Insanity's Pure Cardio, ran a mile to test out my Vibram Five Fingers, and finished up doing Ab Ripper X. I'm whipped!
Got a new heart monitor today also. It's badass, it's strapless and goes on your forearm. According to it I burned 875 calories, 3013 daily calories, and ate 1700 calories. Not a bad day at all! I think I'm going to be hurting tomorrow... |

| I'm now consistently running for an hour, and I'm incorporating a lot of hill running into that time. My calves are seriously sore the day after. I'm having the weekend off though, because a buddy from out of town is visiting and we'll spend the whole weekend eating like and lazing around. |

I tried to do the advanced plank yesterday where you lift up opposite arms and legs so you balance on one leg and the opposite arm.
Now, I've always had strong abs and can do normal planks with relative ease but holy shiiiiiiiit, this exercise is ed up. Not only is it as difficult as to do, but your balance needs to be perfect.
I think I'll be doing a lot of this from now on. Works your obliques and whole core sooooooooo well. |

I've never tried those before. I was skimming through Some Insanity workouts and in Max Interval Plyo they do those moves, I'm nervous!! I won't do that workout until September 7th though.
My core is getting strong as hell though. I can go from the crane position to a handstand, just gotta work on my balance cause I crash as soon as I get up lol. |

| After taking a couple weeks off, I'm back in the workout saddle. Ran 2 miles this morning along with a couple hundred situps. Going to swim this afternoon after teaching swim lessons. Does anyone else here try to swim on a regular basis for exercise? |

| During summer, hell yea. I really should swim in the pool more in winter. Swimming is a fantastic exercise and really good for your posture too. |

| Absolutely. Swimming is so personal to me, since I did it competitively for so long. I feel like when I'm in the water swimming, it's a place where everything makes sense and nothing can go wrong. Except, you know, drowning of course. |
