Pick A Routine And Stick With It | Fitness Health Zone.com.
Picking the right exercise type for you is of vital importance. And you should not worry if you are not very good at it at first. It is a routine, be patient and give it some time. Everything can be learned. This is all common sense advice but I know so many people take the new year as a time to renew their commitments so its worth reading and taking in what helps you. I do think finding the right exercise for you is so important. If you don’t like running, but yet force yourself to run – it’s not going to last. Find something you love to do – and couch surfing doesn’t count people!

On Web, Workshops to Create One-of-a-Kind Gifts – NYTimes.com.
…helping people quickly create one-of-a-kind products like clothing, books and jewelry. In some cases, making a custom gift can be as easy as uploading a photo or clicking a mouse. I think it depends what it is, but getting a personalized gift can be such a nice change of pace and it’s reminds of gifts that people used to give. How cool that its so easy to do?

I had a great workout this morning. I woke up at 5a as usual, drank a glass of water, and headed out to Gold’s Gym.
I started with a 5k run on the treadmill with the first 2mi done at a 6.5 and then did intervals between 6.5 and 7.5 for the last mile or so.
Then I headed into the weight room and did2 sets AMRepsAP:
65lb OH back squats
45lb hang clean squats
65lb back squats
25lb push presses
25lb lunges (back and forth the length of the room)
50 bench jumps
Then I did core work:
30 push-ups
15 bottom up push-ups
15 BOSU push-ups
placement sit-ups with 14lb medicine ball
General Stretching
Finished with 5 mins on the stairmill which would have been 10 but I was just plain tired, so I decided to throw in the towel for the day.
Some random guy came up to me to ask me about my OH back squats. For a lot of people, flexibility in that area is limited. MT had said that he has issues with that as well and to take a broomstick or dowel and practice rolling it front and back as much as you can. I tend to have flexibility in that area so I think that gives me an advantage. He said he was impressed and how do I do it? I told him that I lock my arms out. I am sure it didn’t help him much but that’s all the help I could offer. Any of you out there have issues with flexibility in that area?
So, what fitness activity did you today?
