So I went to my first yoga class today (this was a “yoga flow” class taught for free to help fund donations for a local library). As a newbie to the fitness world I know that class based activities are very popular and yoga, zumba, spinning classes are those types of things that I see […]

No day is ever quite as satisfying as leg day. I was feeling a little under the weather today like I’m on the verge of getting sick, and I figure it’s a good time to link yet another video this time from Elliot Hulse on how to prevent sickness… Don’t wanna get sick? Be a […]

Breakfast of Champions!, a photo by phoebus_apollo1 on Flickr. My favorite breakfast, about 400 calories, 50g of protein, 12g of carbs and 17g of mono/poly fats, buckets of vitamins and nutrients for only approximately $2.20. Best way to start the day!

Today was chest day, and it took quite a lot out of me to make it happen. After work I had lunch because there wasn’t a good time spaced out in the day to do lunch after the workout, and after lunch I crashed for yet another nap. The naptimes have been hitting me hard […]

Achievement unlocked: get a good back workout! Today was back day at the gym, which is an awesome day. After warmups I hit the good ol’ bent over rows, did 8 reps of 90lbs, 8 more with 100, and two sets of 8 with 110lbs which is the biggest curl bar available. Then I decided […]

Had a very light day today, won’t even syndicate this post to Facebook that’s how slow, just hit up the YMCA and ran on a treadmill with a friend for 2 miles. Got a nice case of DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) from my leg workout yesterday, and didn’t feel up to full running speed […]

Leg day is a hard day to do sometimes, because the legs have the biggest muscle groups in the body and it just requires a lot of neurological energy… and it is draining and mentally intimidating. Anyways I caught a power nap today because I had the spare time, then headed in to kick up […]

Okay real quick log before I head to bed, tonight was a bit hectic because I went to work at a store across town as a temporary thing that I get the pleasure of repeating tomorrow. Anyways, today I got a fantastic run at dusk done in Monroeville Community Park, 3.5 miles intended to go […]

Okay, had a real fun time today. Was meeting some friends from Meetup.com out for Sunday Brunch this morning and decided to go on a stroll in the nearby Frick park first. Took a ton of photos, will post those separately, but it was a fasted walk so all the calories I burned were fat […]

Well today was a pretty awesome day, got out in the morning to the Pitcairn area for a small time 5K on a fairly flat course, was expecting to set my personal record today and bump it up a notch, how did I do? Flickr gallery: A run with the Monroeville Lions club So the […]
