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 …

TRX – W1D3

I wasn't dreading today's workout - except in time.  It's hard to think that I will spend 3 hours with my wife watching tv, an hour driving to pickup kids, and work through lunch, but not take one hour a day to workout.  The hardest part about workouts is assuring myself that the time spent …

TRX W1D2

Holy crap - most of this workout was getting my feet into the straps.  The skinny people in the video make it look way easier than it is.  It's really like being on all fours on a rope bridge and trying to kick a puppy.  You'll never kick the puppy but you will wobble.Only one …

First TRX workout

I will start by saying I love Tony Horton.  I bash on him about the P90X series, but they have truly helped me find workouts that don't suck.  P90X helped me lose inches in weeks and over two months or so improve strength.  P90X2 did the same, but felt a bit more rough than P90X. …

My gift – TRX

I have come to learn over the years that I will find excuses not to work out.  I don't like gyms - I always feel like people are staring at the weeble-wobble-guy running on the treadmill; or judging my form.  Maybe they're all thinking that I'm judging them.  I don't know, but I don't like …

Day 11 – trip to TN

It's not actually Day 11, it's actually closer to day 64.  I kept having false starts - I'd want to workout and do something, but I just didn't feel like it.  In 64 days I've lost about 11 pounds - most of that in the last 11-20 days.Saturday (after I fully hydrated from the workout …

Skype Freezing on Windows 7

For the last couple of months I've been having a problem with Skype freezing up for 1-3 seconds every time I'd click to another application and come back. After 2 months or so of hatred for Skype, I finally found a fix that appears to be working.Open Internet Explorer -> internet options -> security -> …

New Fit Tracking App

I logged in to my FitDay app today to find that they wanted $10.99 a year for me to update my weight daily.  I've been with them for almost 12 years - and said good bye.  There are plenty of other (some better) apps out there - I was using FitDay as I had been …

Progress – and moving forward

I've had these blades for like 4 weeks maybe (sometime the week of the 24th of Mar).  I built a slideboard like the next week.  I've used the slideboard a few times (mostly b/c of weather).  I've managed to get in a skate about 2x a week (mostly due to location).  I'm trying to find …

AVR programming on a Mac

I have done a lot of my work locally on WinXP running in Parallels.  I bought the book Make:AVR Programming which I cannot recommend more for anyone wanting to do AVR programming.  With that, I installed http://www.obdev.at/products/crosspack/index.html - and then his examples use make files to build and flash to the AVR.  I would like to see …
