    Damage Control

    I'm still struggling with hip pain. I'm beginning to wonder if the hip pain, si joint & piriformis pain, and hip flexor/groin pain and even my knee issue is all related. It's all on the right side. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to when the pain occurs. Sometime I get that...

    Wednesday was UB2, Thursday LB1, today I did a circuit. It was only 45 minutes but had a lot of cardio in it. Pushup/burpee/row/dragon press really gets the heart rate up as does kettlebell swings and weighted step ups. I've been doing mostly weight training to raise my resting metabolic...

    Lets see, I did glute work on Sun, Chest & Biceps on Mon, Rest on Tues, and 45 min peloton workout this morning. It feels good to get back into my regularly scheduled workouts. I only have a standing appt on Thursdays, so that is helping with the workout routine. Next week they will I be...

    Today I did a full body circuit with cardio/skipping or swings. It was nice to have the additional cardio in between the weights. It did have ab work at the end, and I did more ab work when that was over. Tomorrow will be a chest/tri workout and maybe ride my bike. I haven't been on my bike...

    STS 2.0 Lower Body 1

    I did that workout yesterday. That quad lift was killer. I don't know why, I started on my right leg and had no issues. For some reason, on my left leg it felt like the ball was very heavy and I could not complete the reps on that leg.
