I hope all of you are safe. This week will continue to use my home for my workouts using exercise bands. I hope all of you are doing something for yourself physically. I know it’s tough if you don’t have a home gym or are not used to working out in your home, but you can get a good workout in, if you put a little thought into it. Using your stairs, chairs, and other items can provide a great workout.

Here are my workouts for the week!

• Monday – Upper Body
• Tuesday – Lower Body
• Wednesday – Upper Body
• Thursday – Lower Body
• Friday – Upper Body
• Saturday – Lower Body
• Sunday – Day off

See you at the finish line!!

OK, folks. Here is the lockdown workout for the week.

Monday – Wednesday – Friday – Upper Body workout (exercise bands).

Tuesday – Thursday – Saturday – Lower Body workout (exercise bands).

If weather permits, I’ll get some walking in for cardio. If not, I’ll be using the family supine bicycle.

If you are having a hard time with transition to the home for your workouts, check out YouTube. There are hundreds of them. You can also check out Bodybuilding.com for more ideas. Kagedmuscle.com is also a great site for home workouts, but I’ll warn you, this site is for senior/experienced lifters. The workouts are brutal. I have warned you. HaHa!!

See you at the finish line!

Here’s my weekly workout routine:

Home workout:

• Monday – Leg and Ab workout exercise bands.

If any of you are lacking in the home gym arena, check out YouTube. There are plenty of home workouts available there. Keep pushing. Keep working. This will all end and things will get back to normal at some point. Until then, contingency exercise routines will be the solution. Be creative and get it done!

Be safe, pay attention to local authorities, and keep pushing.

See you at the finish line!

Hey, folks!

I hope your weekend is going well. My folks are back in the gym again. I work with my Dad who is new to the gym. He goes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I work with him and when my folks head home, I knock out my workout. Just so you know, my Mom is 76 and my Dad will be 81 on the 10th of March 2020. A little motivation for you, if you’re thinking you’re too old to hit the gym.

Anyway, here’s my schedule for the week:

• Sunday – Back and Biceps
• Monday – Cardio
• Tuesday – Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps
• Wednesday – Legs and Abs
• Thursday – Cardio
• Friday – Cardio and Back and Biceps
• Saturday – Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps

Have a great week, folks! I hope all of you are getting your exercise in, whatever form that may take.

See you at the finish line!

Hey, folks!

I’m still working through the Labrada trainer. All-systems go!

This week, my Dad will join me in the gym. He’s 82, but he needs the extra exercise now that he has completed his physical therapy. He has improved dramatically and his balance is better than it was at the start.

He’ll join me on Tuesdays and Thursdays with Mom. The rest of the week, I’ll be hitting it on my own.

Same schedule as before:

• Mon – Wed – Fri – Upper Body
• Tue – Thu – Sat – Lower Body
• Sunday – Rest day (Do nothing day)

Have a great week!!

See you at the finish line…

It’s Super bowl Sunday. In America today is a great day. Football, our national past time, accompanied by crazy commercials, and junk food. Yeah, I will break my diet to enjoy some pizza and some snack foods. That being said, this week, starting on Monday, I’ll be engaging a 12-week workout routine, I’ve used before. It’s a great workout routine and will crank up the intensity a bit.

I won’t belabor putting all the workouts here, but the workout is called the Labrada Lean Body Workout. You can find it on Bodybuilding.com. They also have a great app called Bodyspace, which I use to track my workouts in the gym. If you haven’t seen it, it’s in the App Store and Google Play.

None of my teams made it to the Super Bowl, but the teams that are there are both really good. The 49ers and the Chiefs. It should be an exciting game.

Well, that’s all I got today folks. Have a great Sunday!!

See you at the finish line!

Here we go, folks!

This week, we’ll be adding a new addition to the workouts–The Sauna and Red Light Therapy.

Weight days – Cutting Edge and Sauna

Cardio days – Planet Fitness and Red Light Therapy

Mon – Wed – Friday – Full Body Weight Workout and Sauna

Tue – Thu – Saturday – Cardio and Red Light Therapy

There is nothing in the literature that supports or negates anything claimed by red light therapy, but hey, since it’s part of my black membership at Planet Fitness,  why not?

The sauna at Cutting Edge is a no-brainer. It’s on site and part of the amenities offered by the gym. I enjoy the sauna because it cleans out the pores and helps aid muscle soreness.

Well, that’s it folks!

See you at the finish line!
