Week 4 Day 1: Lunge anyone?

So integrated the lunge today into my workout. I will be adding in more variety in the weeks to come. This is going to be a short post as I didn’t get a good night’s sleep. I walked over 13,000 steps, did 150 push-ups, 50 lunges each leg, 71 air squats, and 150 bicep curls. […]

Who’s Your Daddy App

So I have been using the Who’s Your Daddy App for the past week and can honestly say it was worth the money spent on it. It offers daily and weekly tips to help you prepare for the arrival of your little bundle of joy as well as help make life a lot easier for […]

Week 3 Day 5: T.G.I.F

So the work week is done and its time to see how I did. My goals for the week were: 400 pushups, 400 bicep curls, 400 air squats, and 400 military presses. Today I completed 100 air squats, 100 push-ups and 100 bicep curls, which rounds out my weekly progress at 400 air squats, 400 […]

Week 3 Day 4: Introducing the Kettlebell

Thursday and I introduced a couple of kettlebell exercises. The kettlebell is a pretty versatile little (and not so little) weight. Kettlebells have become increasingly popular with the crossfit and boot camp crews. They appear to be better at simulating day to day activities and therefore more in line with functional fitness.

Week 3 Day 3

Its Wednesday and today wasn’t necessarily a struggle but difficult. While I slept better last night it still was not what I needed. That being said I did meet my goal but it was mentally tough to do so. I felt some fatigue while trying to finish the reps in each set. Instead of just […]

Week 3 day 2

Sleep. Oh how important it is and when you don’t get enough of it especially several nights in a row it can have a detrimental effect on how well you function in your day. Today was one of those days for me. It has been building a while and on weekends I try to […]

Week 3 Day 1

Monday and I made some modifications to my daily load level. I combined all of my exercises into one day and upped the reps per set to 30. Interesting as I made my way into my first set was that the push-ups and military press seemed to working not all but same muscle groups and […]

Father’s Day

It’s Father’s Day. While we have always celebrated Father’s Day (we have two dogs) this one definitely has a different feel to it. Maybe that is my excuse for not meeting my goals. Going to walk with my wife later today, but I fell shy of my pushup, air squat, bicep curl, and military press […]

Week 2 Day 4

This will be quick. I got it done. Today’s goals were 100 bicep curls and 100 Military press. Was able to get it all done at work. The big issue is that Friday of this week I have off and its gonna be a challenge to get my pushups and air squats done. We’ll see.

Week 2 Day 3

Wednesday. 100 push-ups and 100 air squats done. Also walked with my wife. Halfway through the week and tracking nicely. This is getting easier. While I am not going to set new goals for this week I am starting to contemplate what to do for next week. Maybe start to implement some kettle bell or […]
