      ok, had a day of cardio, then a day with wine and cheese (amazing) then another day of cardio

      today:
      goblet squats with KB
      hands close together push ups, ya know the ones where you make the DDP symbol with your hands

      one arm dead lifts on each side
      push presses on each side

      star jumps, cause your a shooting star

      rowing crunches
      flutter kicks
      planks

      Feeling better all the time…

        Started messing around with the kettlebells a couple days ago.  I'm really liking the experience so far.  Traditional weightlifting has just grown stale, for me.  I needed something new, and this is definitely it.  My plan is to get another week or so with them under my belt, and then go see an RKC trainer for a few sessions.  I just want to make sure my repaired shoulder is strong enough first.  So far so good.

            once i do my challenge i can get this bastard off my car:

            oh here are the rest of the weekdays:

            as far as my workout i read the chain stitch massacre thread & decided Gile$ & Mega did enough running around for the three of us.

            will make it up by waking up before my kids wake up & attempt to slip it to Tuesday.  that will be my cardio for maybe 5 minutes if there is foreplay.  i will then go clean out the gutters, wash Tuesday's truck & rent a tall ladder to finish painting the damn family room.

            all you kids reading this get out there & do something before you end up like me  🙂

                                oh & i was able to sneak in a few push-ups today &  the creaking isn't as bad as before. really think it just came from being so sedentary for so long.

                                    So after a few days with the kettlebells, I decided I should just do cardio today. Ease into those bells, you know?  Meanwhile, I've been thinking to myself, "I'm really not that sore; what's all the fuss about?" I left the house to go for a run – returned about ten minutes later. Holy shit. I was wrong. Dead wrong. I think I need to go take a nap...

                                            Great article, Doug. Thanks for sharing. I wholeheartedly agree that proper rest and diet are just as, if not more, important than an extensive exercise regimen. I am a firm believer in a four-day-a-week schedule, after trying both the four day and six day methods for years. Rest is essential to let your muscles recover. In my case, I've been extremely limited in the amount of physical activity I was capable of, over the last 18 months; and now that I am doing better, physically, I am a bit over-zealous.

                                            A gentle reminder to take it easy is appreciated; whether that was your intention or not, ha.
