Plans: The Next Couple Weeks…

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 [...]

Guess I’m Still Not 100%

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 [...]

To Weigh-in or Not to Weigh-in…

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 [...]

Coming Tomorrow: To Scale, or Not to Scale…

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) [...]

AGAIN?!?!

Wouldn’t you know it, I get back up to running 35 minutes without stopping and BANG! I catch some kind of cold!  I am totally out of commission between my lungs feeling like someone rubbed them with sandpaper and the general malaise and lethargy that has hit me out of nowhere.  I am hoping (but [...]

Making the Most of This Month…

I am realizing that after May 5th, I will have to endure a whole summer without a gym.  You see, the gym that I go to is located on campus.  Said campus is 1 hour and 45 minutes drive from my home.  I ain’t driving 3 and a half hours round trip to go to [...]

Inauspicious Morning, Auspicious Workout

Why the title with the fancy word? (For those of you confused, you can find the definitions here and here.) Well, sit down, cause this is a long story. Are you seated yet? Good.
It all starts at 1:30 a.m. this morning. I went to bed feeling fine (around 10:00 after [...]

April 7th: Static Holds

I was thinking about my goal of competing in Ninja Warrior, and came to a realization last weekend.  I realized that my workouts are still based on the same model I’ve used for years (i.e. heavy weights, low reps), and haven’t changed in any significant way to help me build a strength base tailored to [...]

Fitness Assessment Results…

Well I paid ten bucks and got a fitness assessment at the on campus gym. I even got a pretty little color print out. Allow me the pleasure of sharing the good and not so good results with all of you:

Overall rating: 47 (1 -100). Factors include Body-fat, BMI, RHR, Crunches, [...]
