I went mountain biking today!

When I got home from work tonight I decided to do something I haven’t done for quite a long time. I decided to go for a ride on my mountain bike. Once I got on all my riding gear (special pants with cushy rear, bike shoes, helmet), I went to grab my bike. I quickly [...]

100 Pushup Challenge: Week 5, Day 1

Week 5 looks tough! Well last night was day one of week 5 in my 100 pushup challenge.   How did it go? FAIL! Ok, it wasn’t all that bad.  It was a pretty tough week and I wasn’t sure I’d even be able to make it through the first 2 or 3 sets.  After day [...]

Wii Fit – Good fitness tool, or just a fad?

photo credit: austinANOMIC I was over at a friend’s house the other night, and noticed that they had purchased the Wii Fit exercise program. I’m naturally a bit of a skeptic, so I tend to think that the exercise benefits you would get from working out with a video game would be minimal, but I [...]

100 Pushup Challenge: Week 4, Day 2

Week 4 resumes! Here we are on week 4, day two.  Pretty similar to day one of week 4, but slightly more pushups. I took the day off yesterday because I had such a hard day having to put my dog to sleep at the vet. Not something I ever want to go through again. [...]

100 Pushup Challenge: Week 3, Day 2 the second time around

This week is my second time around doing week 3 of the 100 pushups challenge. I did my pushups on Wednesday just before going out to play tennis.  I pushed through them at a good pace.  It wasn’t as tiring as the last time I did them, but it was still hard. I started out [...]
