Rode 25 miles today. Forgot how much I enjoy riding a bike. I know it's not optimal for burning fat, but it sets calories ablaze and is ridiculously fun. Came home and killed this Paleo meal.

Any updates from you guys?
Virtual Skogg has changed it's format to a more Crossfit type schedule. He's posted 70 different workouts (I can only do 64 of them because six of them involve Crosscore and Stroops which I don't own…yet) that you do in order
It no longer goes by levels, so the weight and tempo are all up to you
Did the first one with a bell I probably shouldn't have been swinging for all 30 minutes, and I'm still sore three days later
If anyone's interested, they're running a promotion: $1 for 31 days coupon skogg2013

I saw the promo and I'm sticking with the regular dvd's, running and eventually getting into DDP yoga.
-
What's funny, is my pregnant wife has really gotten into Skogg. My 25 pound is still kicking my ass…

Yep, I've been a Virtual Skogg member for 3-4 months now, so I was happy to see that email- $10 a month cheaper and the first month for a dollar. Score!
I love the flexibility of being able to use different weights to control the difficulty of a workout. Light and fast tempo for conditioning, heavy and slow for muscle development. Kettle bells are great, but Julie's not happy with the divots in the carpet from when I've dropped bells (and yes, I do the penalty push ups).

Ugh, I hate Get Ups.
-
TGU's are just so f'ing good for you though. Embrace those babies
-
thanks for the tip on the promo Dougie, will check it out & report back.

^you are an animal!

The new Virtual Skogg format is really effective. Been taking my fitness up to the next level this last month
I'm paraphrasing Michael Skogg, but he explains his different workouts in a great way. Strength is about how much you can move. Power is how much you can lift FAST. And if you can Condition yourself to be 4 quarter player, a 3rd period player, or a 9th inning player, you're one of the elite
Everything kind of clicked together after he explained it like that
-
Yeah that's pure physics and physiology. I always try to mix in explosive lifts on certain things like presses and to a lesser degree on squats. Even someone who just wants to push as much weight as possible benefits from explosive strength during those exercises, for example getting a heavily loaded bar moving against gravity.
That's one reason I like wave loading.

Didn't know where to post this. Will probably start a skiing/snowboarding thread. Sierra Quitiquit gets my juices flowing! Click the link she is one one of the hottest freeskier's around both skills and looks.
