Day 12 P90x, Pushups workout 2, bike ride, and Won the Biggest Loser at Work!

Hows that for a title?

In all actuality it sums up my day pretty good and this will be a short blog post cause I am pooped! lol

I won 300 bucks in the work Biggest Loser Challenge and I spent some of my bounty by investing in some free weight dumbells and a couple sturdier resistance bands.  I am ready to kick some butt now in my workouts!

Tonight was Back and Legs.  I am really focusing with the bands on form to get the most I can out of the resistance bands pulldowns, but I may start doing some assisted chins soon to get started working on the pullups.  After Back and legs i did ARX (Ab Ripper X) and nearly collapsed in a heap in the shower when I was done..lol

Before my workout tonight i did 10 quick km on my mountain bike.  I was cruising along thinking I was going pretty quick when a teenager wizzed past me as if I were standing still.  I mean, he was going so fast after about 15 sec I didn’t even see him ahead on the path anymore.  Sucks getting old, lol

Tomorrow I have the weigh in and meeting at weight watchers.  I hope I am down but I did have a few smallindiscretions this week eating wise so we will see. I have been working hard exercise wise and thats all I can do.  Eat well, exercise hard and maintain a positive attitude.  Will be back after the weigh in with some progress pics.

Go Yankees

So after writing last nights post a promptly fell asleep on the couch only to wake up in the 6th inning of the Yankees game. Great to see the Arod reinventing himself in the playoffs!

Wife and the kids were out at her moms last night and today, so I just took it easy last night, and this morning went out looking around at some stuff I want to pick up to help me exercise at home. I am pretty sure I am going to pick up a Perfect Pullup chinup bar and have found one for the cheapest price I have been able to find at Canadian tire. I am going to pick it up this week I think.

I haven’t ordered the Power 90 yet but I am going to get it soon, probably in the next day or two. I am going to order it from the site, and then will have a couple weeks til it gets here. I am going to be using cables for the resistance parts of it at first, but look to get some dumbells soon as well. I don’t want to buy a whole lot of stuff as I simply don’t have the room for it. But I will be getting a few basics. Its a shame I got rid of all my stuff when I finished the basement a few years ago. Ahhhh well.

Feeling better today

Well, its pretty sad when 1 round of golf kicks your butt, but that was the case for me yesterday. I am feeling better today, still a little stiff but not too bad. I again have been doing lots with the resistance bands and really trying to stretch and stengthen my upper back and shoulders.

Tonight I bought a pair of Perfect Pushup pushup bars, as well as looked around for things I can add to my little home fitness arsenal. I am going to keep things very basic (hence the Keep It Simple blog name) but I want enough to keep me interested and provide some variety. I will continue to look around and add a little at a time.
