    I’ve been missing in action, again. My apologies. It’s been such a wet Spring, the weeds have taken over my yard. Pulling weeds like a fiend, and soooo done with weed pulling. I’ve been doing a little of this, and a little of that. Lauren Brooks, another KB guy, can’t remember his name. Julia...

    LOL!! I thought of you today....took one of my dogs to the vet, to get his teeth cleaned. Geez, I think my dogs have better healthcare than I do. No workout today, too much on my plate. Try again tomorrow.

    I don’t eat grains at all. Everything is protein and fat for me. I eat tons of veggies, and some fruit. Lots of protein, and nuts. That’s what works for me.

    This morning was to be a heavy weight workout, quads, chest and tris. But Julia was doing heavy weights with hiit. I decided to get it done in one workout. So I did Julia. Good workout. Harder than expected. But, glad I did it, nice to be done. What is it about Julia? She just kicks my butt, and...

    Yea, I gave up movies years ago. Every movie was a political statement, or the movie was just depressing. I went to movies to be entertained, and it just wasn’t happening. Today I did three body parts. Chest, shoulders and triceps. Good workout, I was fried. I’m with you on the leg work, Lisa...

    Lisa, right now I’m pairing chest and triceps, back and biceps. Shoulders and legs, the longest workout. I do butt, hamstrings, quads and a little bit of calf work, along with shoulders. I will do this for about six weeks then switch it up again. Maybe hamstrings, butt and calf. Then back tricep...

    I just quoted myself. I don’t know how that happened. My schedule is something I used to prepare for a competition. Working every body part twice a week. Two parts a day. So, three days on, then a rest day. Then three days on. So on, so on, so on.

    Lisa, the only Avengers I know? A British spy show from the 1960’s. I thought it was so cool, right up there with “Man From U.N.C.L.E. And Illya Kuriachan. (Sp) It was on Acorn TV a couple of years ago. I watched it, it was so corny(for lack of another word) I thought WTH did I ever see in this...

    Today was lower body and shoulders. I was planning on adding a Lauren KB workout, but decided to mow the lawn. That’s it, no fitness prize for me, but it was a good workout. The last two days have been beautiful. Not a cloud, and in the 70’s. Ahhh, my kind of weather. Take care, Summer’s coming...

    You’re right Lisa. Continued gagging going on. In my kitchen no less. Why don’t we do it in their kitchen, and slop lye all over the kitchen. Like I said “gabby women!” Today was chest and shoulders. I’m starting a 3 day split heavy lifting program. I’m thinking I need a little more heavy...

    I bought my band on Amazon, Rim Sports is the company. It’s thicker and wider than the latex type bands. I like it because I put my bands above my knees, for hip thrusts, and the latex type roll and pinch. This band is like fabric, and it doesn’t roll or pinch. I bought the medium tension, and...

    Hey all! Neck is much better. It was kinda sorta enjoyable not doing anything. I’m easing back into it, and today was a KB butt workout with Lauren Brooks. Short, not too difficult, and fun. I have been pulling weeds in my yard this week. Such a pain. Evidently, the word got out, that I have...

    Good morning guys. I woke up Sunday morning, and I could barely move. I don’t know whether I slept funny, or tweaked something, but, my right shoulder and neck are sore, and I can’t turn my head to the right. I’ve tried ice and heat, and it’s a little better, but now I’m pulling out the big guns...

    Mark yesterday, Julia today. Julia was a no equipment HIIT. Juuuuust not in the mood to juggle a bunch of equipment, and the workout was only 41 minutes. Another plus. So Julia is kicking my butt, and Mark is kicking my butt. Needless to say, my butt is kicked. They are remodeling the airport...

    Group Shot From LITE PHA

    I bought those red pants. I absolutely love them. I wear them at least once a week. Highly recommend "Violate the Dress Code!"

    Today was a Julia. I'm kinda dragging today, so I turned off Julia, and did the workout from her posting on the site. When I'm dragging, I can't keep up with her, and I sometimes get only one rep in her 20:10 tabata. Yesterday was such a gorgeous day, and it's raining and cold today, with...

    I’ve done both types of IF. 5/2, and a 5or 6 hour window. First week is different, but then you get used to it, and it is just a way of life. I always planned it so that I did a fasting workout then gobbled down the protein after my workout. It really was quite easy. I may get back into it at...

    Good deal? Found these weights on craigslist

    I say go for it. You're getting an olympic bar, a bench and plates. You can always buy more plates, as your strength increases. Bench press, rows, deadlifts right there. A new olympic bar (Rogue) is around $300. If you have the room, oh yea. I bought my first olympic bars from Craigs List. You...
