Park Workout

Here is my workout at the park yesterday, the weather was cool and overcast so it was very pleasant. I even took a few pictures of flowers and saw a duck in the pond. I just love workout in nature don't you? So much oxygen its very refreshing. My legs are feeling like rubber today which is a good thing, lets hope for good stats tomorrow.

Step Ups Work It Baby!


Step Ups Work it baby!
Today's workout is legs, and I will be doing 18" step ups as part of my workout. You can't get a better move then step ups for the glutes and legs, you can feel the burn! Mine will be off landscape cement blocks.
Sometimes I vary these, by doing the same leg per set, or alternating per leg per set. I do them slow a set then fast a set, on this move you can never get bored since you can really mix this up. Try it, you will feel them trust T.
Last night I was like sleeping beauty, and went to bed at 8.30pm and slept till 7am. I got up at 6am and put on my heating pad since my back was bothering me. I did a 3 mile incline run, and must have put a strain on it. Next time I will stretch out much better then I did yesterday. I was a bit short on time but I don't recommend ever doing that, it truly makes a huge difference. I feel great today.

Fix Quix






This is the new product that I am using in salads and love it! http://www.buddig.com/nutr_fix_chicken.html
Not only is this chicken great tasting, gluten free with just 60 cals, 11g of protein, it also comes in a great ready pack I find very convenient. The flavor in this is what I like, and now after trying it on sale I went back to my tyson chicken and what a difference! Not loving it as much. I have not tried the turkey which it also comes in, but if its half as good as this its going to be delicious.
I even like the name, and its price point is $4.49 but I caught them on sale 2 for $4.00 when they fist came out. They are still worth the price, and I can't stress enough how tender and tasty they are. My other chicken seemed bland after this. You may find it cheaper I shop at Dierbergs, but a Shop n Save, Shnucks or Aldis may have a better price.
You may want to try it, if your into packaged goods that you can even eat right out of the bowl, that has a nice flavor plain....now that I really like. I can't wait for lunch now!
This week will be my last workout week before I go back to my P90X training. I am going to really give that a great shot of 90 days. I will continue to train light with my arm until it is fully recovered but its feeling much better every day. Can you believe there are only 3 days left in the month? I have been on a sugar rush lately and need to curb that! Last I had angel food cake and a 90 cal fudge bar, seriously T. do you think your going to get that body like that?
Pull up the big girl panties, stop whining...NO more evil sugary treats starting next month!
Today's workout cardio in the park, inclines 45 minutes.
