Workkin' Out!

[lumberjim]

Our workout has morphed into a pseudo yoga kind of a thing mixed with cursory weight work and cardio to finish it off.

well...I say 'Our' because that's what jinx and I do when we go together. She may very well do something entirely different when she goes by herself. I get to the gym pretty much every Wednesday and Sunday, barring other obligations like birthday parties, work, and other distractions.

anyway..... here's what I did today:

10AM....mowed the lawn Today, I began Spencer's training. He needs money to save up for some weird skateboard thing. So, i did most of the trim and the front yard, but my usual early morning sweat fest was downgraded to a simple moistening. The boy did the bulk of the back and forth straight line areas of the yard.....getting comfortable with operating the mower, while I ran the weed eater, and kept an eye on him. (It's pretty cool teaching your 11 year old son the mow the lawn, btw....that's going into the vault)

later, at the gym...

this, I call the Ball Plank...... i don't knwo why....and there very well may be a better name for it....but that's what I named the files when I saved them....

it starts with you lying oh-so comfortably on the little purple foam matt with your feet propped up on a nice cushy giant rubber ball:



now, you lift your hips up off of the matt.....count to 4.



then...you extend your legs out and hold it like that for 8 seconds:



back to the previous position for 4, then rest for 8, repeat.
