GYM BOSS

Hey folk, guess what--I got a Gym Boss. I know what you are really thinking...WHAT IS THIS GYM BOSS?! A Gangsta running a gym? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....

2" with a clip in the back and only three buttons

Pretty much this will help me out whenever I am doing my circuit workouts.  I always lose time and this has a murderously annoying beep that will keep you right on track.

Aside from that, I haven't fully worked out yesterday or today due to Mother Nature being in cohoots with Satan Man.  I swear, I should have two sets of abs for what pain I go through in five days.  Can I get an "Amen!" ladies? No? Really? Okay.

I am going to start some at home free weight gym equipment. At our next base, we have to have a garage for this.  There are a lot of homemade "weights" you can make too if you have the time. Coffee cans filled with sand and if you have a soldering iron, you can seal the cans--there's a vid for it somewhere.  Essentially, it is using metal tins as dumbbells.  You can also use plastic jugs filled with sand or water, but that water you'll need in your body.

Just bought a pull up bar and barbell as a new edition to my small at home gym.  Since we do not have a woodcrafting place in the Arts and Crafts center, I will wait till our next base to build a nice workout bench and weights tree.  Never thought I'd get this excited over buying workout equipment as I'd be about buying shoes....

'Piderman, 'Piderman...

So, today is the day. Yep. I am seriously cleaning the floors this time. I decided to stay home for some personal time where I don't have to fend off intruders on a machine or set of weights or the mat. Meanwhile, I was thinking it would be a great idea to try out Spiderman Crawl. Yeah. Hurts on tile floor. But, I soon noticed the horrid state my floor is in.


Throwing back to my childhood I thought I could throw down 100 jumps in jumproping a set, however, my ability is far from what it once was. Not exactly Rocky Balboa over here.
I then proceeded to utilizing my new resistance bands. I did squats, a pilates' weak girl version of deadman lift(have no bar so had to use something), some arm exercises with the resistance bands and some front kick to side kick sets. All in all, with a one minute break between sessions, I did 20 minutes (15 minutes first round, 5 minutes second). Not exactly sure on the calorie burn but it definitely puts me over 300 calories for overall today.
I was a bad girl and ate some tortellini alfredo for lunch. Nothing really healthy at all about that, but hey, it tasted DELICIOUS. All in all, I am under 1500 calories for intake today, but tomorrow I shall eat more. More healthy and more calories. YUMS, calories....

Ehhh, why don't we do this at home...

 Well, there are just some days when I do not want to walk to the gym or just don't have the time/transportation to enter a fitness facility.  However, many things can be done in between household chores.  Whilst battling the dust bunnies with your magical fuzzy stick, you can dance.  If you want to feel less awkward, try taking a break for 20 minutes and do yoga.  OR, you can do some circuit training.

At Home:

Yoga (Namaste Season 1) = 25 min

Circuit training= 20 min or longer, depending on reps
     All movements should be in a 20 second frame, and push yourself to do as many as you can. Take note on how many you can do.

Squat Thrust (aka Burpees)
    Rest-10sec
High Knees (or Front kick left/right, Side kick left/right)
   Rest-10sec
Jumping Jacks (Jump Lunges)
   Rest-10sec
Mountain Climbers
   Rest-10sec

~~~~You can switch out how you want to do High knees with kicks and the jumping jacks so that the reps don't get too boring~~~~
