@jacoavlu:

if a plain round kettle bell doesn't do it for you, how about one that looks like an angry chimp

Glad someone got that haha

[seanocono]

I agree. Great actor and movie. His talent is mind-boggling.

I've never seen MY LEFT FOOT (his first Best Actor performance), but it's on the Netflix queue.

Back to the topic on hand any interesting workouts today?

[seanocono]

Yeah, sorry for derailing.

Today is a rest day, for me, so only some light stretching with the shoulder.  As I mentioned previously, I'm recovering from a recent shoulder operation. Yesterday, I did my shoulder PT pushup workout:

I lay a towel on the ground (my floors are concrete, so the towel slides, easily).

I start with a set of 10 wide pushups. (30 sec. rest).

Then a set of 10 narrow, tricep pushups (30 sec. rest).

I then do what is basically a plank, in the pushup position, but I start with my arms wide; then I bring my right hand in narrow; then bring my left hand in narrow to meet the right; right hand back wide; left hand back wide; repeat 10 times (30 sec. rest).

I then do a set where I pull the towel and my hands close together; then I slide my left hand out wide, do a pushup, and pull it back in; I then slide my right arm out wide, and do another pushup, and pull it back in; repeat for 10 reps. (30 sec. rest)

Lastly, I do the same sliding pushups, as above, except I slide one arm vertical, do an, admittedly, awkward pushup, and slide it back to center; alternate arms for a total of 10 pushups. (2 min. rest)

Repeat five exercises x4 for a total of 200 reps.  For cardio I loaded a backpack full of textbooks (all I have ATM) and walked briskly for ~ 6 miles.

My goal is to finish out the rest of the month doing the exercises and resistance band work I learned in PT, and then ramp up my activity in the gym starting 4/1.
