Ooooo rrrrrrrr.me duck !!!! Farmer's walk...a basic move (pick up two heavy things and walk) that produces big results. Corduroy pants are optional unless your trying to sneak up on someone. Here's Brian Alsruhe (expert in all things strongman related and king of traps) to explain the details...
January 8, 20188 yr Ahhh...yes I've got it now...pick up your and piggy,s wallets..in each hand...and walk away with it as fast as I can...and keep on going.. You sound like a big strong boy for ya mammy.....
January 9, 20188 yr 22 hours ago, Doreensfree said: Youv,E got some other good walks too Boo... Nope! I have no desire to prance around on stage wearing nothing but a spray tan and a banana hammock. Not that anyone asked, but for the record: I'm not a bodybuilder. I train for strength and performance. Bodybuilding is a weird world and frankly it creeps me out. But hey, to each their own.
January 9, 20188 yr Another day I couldn't get up in the morning in time to get on the elliptical (sigh). I'm leaving the office now and will not get any dinner till I put in my 1/2 on that machine!
January 10, 20188 yr Got my morning strength work in. And since it's 65 degrees outside right now, seems a perfect time to get in a little trail running. Make hay while the sun shines (even if it is overcast).

Boo's on the case, how 'bout you, Lisa?

Except when I got to the trailhead, I remembered that I hadn't put my headlamp back in my running pack. So, it was an abbreviated run at best. Not to go off on a tangent, but...why don't we just stay on daylight savings time permanently? Spring forward in March and then leave the clocks alone after that.
January 11, 20188 yr Author Took cody for a 4 mile walk since it was up to 35 degrees today....so far so good

Spring forward in March and then leave the clocks alone after that. I agree! It’s so dumb. 3rd day in a row 30 minutes on elliptical. I know it’s not great to do the same thing every day but it’s a great machine and I change the incline and resistance.
January 11, 20188 yr Did the boxing thing this morning. Had some time left over and felt pretty good so I added 10 minutes of core work (planks, roll outs, and supermans) to the routine. I talk a lot here about lifting weights and boxing, because that's the cool stuff. However, an important part of my program that may very well prove as beneficial as anything I'm doing is mobility work. I do a dynamic warm-up with some priming moves before I start and finish each workout with mobility drills. For the last few months, I have started doing a mobility move during the rest period between sets on lifting days. I'm not getting any younger, but I feel like I am. These drills form the base of my mobility work if anyone is interested in incorporating them into their routine.
January 12, 20188 yr Wasn't really feeling it this morning, but did my strength work anyway. Some days you're hitting on all cylinders. Other days you just punch the clock and do the work.
January 13, 20188 yr Author Need to get on treadmill today...woke up later than usual must have been tired I guess. But that always throughs me off the rest of day I think. Lisa
January 13, 20188 yr Yep, I know whatcha mean. Jump on and that'll put you right again! Dance aerobics 1 hr. 10 minutes this morning
January 13, 20188 yr Author Did an hour on the treadmill today....hopefully I can keep up my exercise mojo when the semester starts....school sucks the life and the time outta me.
January 14, 20188 yr Stay strong, Lisa. Exercise, if I can squeeze it in when busy, gives me more energy. I imagine it’s the same for you
January 15, 20188 yr 45 minutes kickboxing this morning- after sleeping in till almost 10! How’s everyone else doing?
January 15, 20188 yr Author Did not truly work out today but did shovel for 20 minutes if that counts lol

Over the weekend, I got in a good boxing workout on Saturday and hiked 8.3 miles on Sunday. Also raked a lot of leaves over the weekend. I'm counting that as low intensity exercise.
