Nice Snowy Spring

Spring is tomorrow and snow is back in the forecast on Thursday in my neck of the woods. We had a nice mix of rain, sleet, and snow yesterday. It's been chilly and wind for the past week. But soon, 60 degree temperatures are right around he corner. Can't wait!

I ended last week with a 35 minute boxing routine and Saturday I used the elliptical for 33 minutes doing four and a quarter miles. I took off Sunday and watched the drunks stumble around downtown Phoenixville for St. Patrick's Day. It was pretty hoppin' at the bars in town. Zim and I went to Sly Fox Brewery for dinner and a couple beers. Then it was back to the weekday grind.

Monday morning I managed to stub and bruise my left foot pinkie toe on a cabinet while walking out of my bathroom. Ouch! It really isn't too bad, but it looks a little black and blue. I think I'll live. Anyways, because of the crappy weather I went to the gym to ride the elliptical 33 minutes for four and a quarter miles again. I did some ab work and decided to take my upper body workout home. It went like this mostly using 15 pound weights:

10 swimmer's press
10 curls
10 tricep kick flips
10 pull-ups (asst)
10 push-ups

10 shoulder press
10 hammer curls
10 tricep flip grips (12 lbs)
10 pull-ups
10 push-ups

10 chest press (on stability ball)
16 static arm curls
20 dips
10 pull-ups
10 push-ups

10 upright rows
10 curl up/hammer down
10 tricep overhead extension (12lb)
10 pull-ups
10 push-ups

16 seated back flys (12lb)
10 lawn mowers
16 in & out bicep curls (12lb)
10 pull-ups
10 push-ups

DONE!

Nice workout.

Today I trained my dad in the morning, went into work for my regular job for a couple hours, then came home to run a little over four miles in 34 minutes. My toe was a little sore, but good overall. Showered up and went to the boxing gym. Long day, but good day.

Oh yeah, Friday night boxing was good. Somewhat blah fights, but the venue was great for it!

  1. I'm SO ready for spring. Big snowstorm is moving in for the weekend, but I know the good stuff is right behind it!
    Sorry about your toe-ouch! Always something. I've got a twinge in the back of my knee and can't do squats or burpees, so thanks for posting these workouts!
