The last two workouts have left me extra sore - especially my abs.  I worked a little harder the last two days... so i'm taking a recovery day.Tomorrow I'll hit back with TRX W3D3 and hopefully 2 hours of walking or riding.Until then, I'm going to take it easy, drink plenty of water (the medic's …

TRX – W3D2

I had to slow down a bit today, but I was able to do at least one of every exercise.Spiderman Pushups - three each leg followed by five 'leg-in' movements (same as a spiderman pushup without the pushup)Hamstring curls - I've been able to do these, but they have been hurting.  Since I went to …

Picture Comparisons

I thought I'd share these sets of pictures.  I don't really like showing off my body - here is a comparison of januaryish 2010 and today: http://elvisapocalypse.blogspot.com/2012/06/old-pictures.htmlPlease ignore the towel hanging on the broken towel rack (on the counter) that my kids didn't tell me they broke.

TRX – W3D1 – and Memorial Day Weekend

I did not workout much this weekend at all.  My bike arrived on Saturday and I assembled it.  It rained a lot and I didn't ride Saturday.  Sunday I spent an hour testing my bike out and getting used to how it rides.  Monday (Memorial Day) I took it on a ride with the kids …

TRX – W2D4

TRX W2D4 was very hard for me.  I think balancing nutrition this week kicked my butt a lot more than I thought. I lost a lot in sleep and was just not feeling well.I was able to complete all of the exercises except burpees.  Pikes were very easy for me, the hamstring runners didn't kill …

TRX – W2DO

This is my TRX day off (DO)I woke up this morning completely lethargic.  I remember waking up in the middle of the night b/c it was hot, but I didn't wake up so much as remain almost asleep.  I was so tired, in fact, that I didn't get up and walk like I wanted to. …

TRX – W2D3

The day started off with a weight loss of 1 pound - down to 282.4 - I felt like i was stuck at 284-287 forever.I then did a 45 minute walk at almost 2.75 miles through the countryside.I didn't have time to exercise TRX all day.  I had a headache which I drank water until …

TRX – W2D2

This workout was not as intense, in terms of struggling, as my first week was.  I accomplished everything in this workout.  I had some issues with one-legged burpees that I had to resolve by not using the straps.  I couldn't maintain balance after doing a bunch of leg work that wore me out.Pike - I …

TRX – W2D1

This workout was fantastic!  I took three days off.  I hadn't intended to take Friday off - I also hadn't intended to go to my son's baseball game (I thought the first one was this Friday).   So I skipped the W1D4 workout.During this workout I felt a lot stronger.  I wasn't nearly as fatigued …

TRX – ceiling mount

I was going to buy a TRX ceiling mount when I found an article on a different and cheaper anchor point...actually I found a couple.http://hubcitytri.blogspot.com/2010/12/trx-suspension-trainer-anchor.htmlhttp://www.travelinfitness.com/2014/02/trx-anchor-install-for-garage-gym/I decided that the same thing was in order for my house.  The door workouts are great, however, there are some workouts that mention needing something different and that is a …
