I was going through the fitness goodies available on Amazon.com and came across this gem:
As soon as I saw this piece of equipment I thought, “now there is something I can copy cheaply and easily.” How? Well, wait until you see my next post after I go to home depot. Let’s just say that a few ornamental bricks and a two cylindrical pieces of wood should do the trick. Presto, I have my own plyometric jumping cones.

When I finish grading- which will hopefully happen tomorrow- I will be posting on my workout plans for this summer. I am going to hit the gym for one last time tomorrow, and after that I am back to good old fashioned workouts in my yard with no high tech gym equipment.
And tomorrow you can expect to see a few sample workouts for this coming summer, some of the equipment I am building and/or ordering for this coming summer. See you tomorrow.
BTW, if you have any suggestions for homemade equipment feel free to post in the comments section.

Grade: A
The stress is gone. Now I can begin acting like it is summer break. That is, after I finish grading exams.

With final projects due next week, my blogging will be pretty limited for the next week or so. You can expect several fitness related video postings over the course of this week, but not much more. After finals are over I will be putting up some new content. The first post back will list (and probably include pictures of) over 2 dozen exercises you can do at your local park. You can’t be a full workout that is entirely free! Well maybe not entirely free, but heck since you have to pay taxes might as well take advantage of what they provide instead of throwing down $100s of dollars on a gym membership.
As always, best of wishes in your fitness endeavors, and keeping dropping by for more fitness info, personal stories, and entertainment.

Wee I weighed in yesterday at 180.4lbs. Still hanging around my Christmas weight, so not much has changed. My workout this morning was my second workout back from my recent illness, and it proved that I haven’t fully recovered. The workout was fairly toned down: moderate weight, high reps (12-20), and three groups of exercises that alternated muscle groups. However, about 2/3s of the way through my workout I started feeling nausea and I even crosses out my last exercise and had to give up.
As I stood in the showers I felt sick to my stomach and I had to sit down at my locker post shower to catch my breath and let my stomach settle. Maybe it wasn’t just the illness though as today I was evaluated in my position as a teaching assistant. And guess what, I had to give a discussion on the Holocaust. Rough stuff.

So should you weigh-in? If so, how often? When? Where?
To answer the first question, the answer is a resounding yes. The real question is how often should you check your weight.
The question is actually more complicated than you think. Why is it complicated? Because of you! (And me too). Individuals are complex and reacted differently to different stimuli. Some are O.C.D. like me, while others are easily hurt and discouraged. To answer the question of how often you should weigh-in you first have to ask some questions about yourself:
- Are you easily discouraged?
- Do you have a very hectic schedule?
- Do you eat at odd times during the day?
- Are you trying to lose weight?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions Read more »

If you are trying to lose weight and get fit should you weigh-in? If so how often? When? What should you wear? These are all good questions, and I have some good answers that should help to both liberate you from doubt and worry, as well as get you on track (or back on track) to continued success. See you tomorrow!
