Football day!

Posted by swljuggernaut on September 13, 2009

Today is the first full slate of games in the NFL and I have 12 hours of football to watch today! Wooo!

12 hours in front of the tv is not very good on the body so I will mix it up by doing some exercises throughout the day. Some stuff for my abs, some stretching, some pushups and who knows what else. I went for a 5000 step walk earlier today with my wife.

I think I mentioned a couple days ago that a bought a pair of Perfect Pushups pushup bars the other night, and I am likely going to by the Perfect Pullup bar as well. Their website is here. My pushups suffer because of my wonky right shoulder but I am working hard to rehab my right shoulder on my own with my resistance bands, using exercises I learned from my physio therapist. I haven’t been able to do a pullup in years, but 10 years ago when I was in the 175 range I could do sets of ten. I will get back there, it may take me a bit, but I will get back there.

I am taking a long range look at my goals and will be working on them/finalizing them in the next couple days. I foresee myself staying at home for my workouts for an extended period of time, and I am going to set my goals with that in mind. Working out at home doesn’t mean that I have to settle though, and I am going to still set aggressive but realistic goals. I will work on them today, and maybe post them later today or tommorrow.

Feeling better today

Posted by swljuggernaut on September 12, 2009

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.
