Cardio Monday

I'm going to do some stair work today. When does a staircase become a ladder?

Treadmill Fun

Treadmills are notoriously evil. There have been times when using one at a hotel I'll be cruising along and all of a sudden the belt will hesitate just long enough to slam L4 into L5 and leave me limping.

Walk Score

For those that travel it's real easy to get real fat real quick on the road. So to combat that you try to exercise but there's only so much "Fox News" you can watch while you are on a treadmill. Enter "Walk Score" input your hotels address and "Walk Score" gives you all the local attractions and the approximate distance to each. Hey if you gotta walk you might as well be walking towards the local BBQ joint or micro-brewery.

Workout Of The Day

This is a long video. I'm not much of an Ultimate Fighting fan, (I'm too much of a puss for that), but this guys workout is amazing.

Next Big Thing, Probably Not

I got a pair of "Farmers Walk" bars the other day and decided to try them out this weekend. "The Wife" was so astonished at the silliness of either me walking up and down the driveway carrying weight for no reason or that someone was actually the first to do this that she grabbed her camera. I have a feeling that it was my silliness that was the motivating factor in her decision.

My Christmas Gift Showed Up, Finally

I got me a "Glute Ham Raise" machine so now I can have "Buns Of Steel". I am very excited.
I even managed to put it together without cussing, I'd have to say it was a good day.

My "Frickmas" Presents

Well in case you missed it on FOX news "Frickmas" was last weekend. "The Wife" bestowed on me a new piece of gym equipment, her subtle way of letting me know that I need to get in shape or she was concerned that I was going to get crushed under a barbell. I picked up my "Power Rack" (and a new CAP barbell) yesterday and after assembling it I was to tired to workout.
The only thing that the Fricks World gym is missing is a towel girl.

Picture Of The Week

that follows the theme of the post below.

It's All About Me

I bought a new toy (if that's the right word) for myself, a set of "HOIST" dumbbells. 10 - 75lbs of adjustable iron in 5 lb increments complete with a nifty stand. This takes up less space than 14 sets of dumbbells and less chance of stubbing my toe on one of them.
I looked at the "Bowflex" dumbbells nice design but (3) negatives

• Real expensive and I mean real expensive
• They only go up to 50lbs. (not that I'm that strong)
• They're plastic, if you drop them they crack

If you're enjoying the exercise your probably doing it wrong!
