Daily Workout - Chest in Home Gym with Total Gym

Summer time is an interesting time. There are so many distractions... The last few days we had a party for my wife's work and so there where things to do to get ready and then there was the day of, and then there was the day after which was a bit of a recovery day... I'm not trying to make excuses but at least for me I find that I take a bit more time off from my workouts but in a way I do OK because surprisingly when I get back to my workouts, I feel strong and the few days off don't seem to effect me too much.

  • Warmup: Eliptical for 10 minutes.
  • Bench Press with Total Gym.
  • Flies with Total Gym.
  • Arm Raise Flies with Total Gym.
  • 3 Stage Pushups: Planche, Extended, and Regular.
  • Misc. Stretching.

Total workout time: About 1hour.

  • Shoulder Press with Barbells.
  • Barbell Shoulder Flies in Three Positions: Forward, Side, Behind.

Mini Vacation in Whistler BC

It's been a while since I posted anything, I was away in Whistler BC with my wife on a mini vacation for a couple of days and unfortunately the place we stayed at didn't have any workout facilities! I guess it made my get-away more relaxing! We did do a fair bit of walking and shopping but it was counteracted with a bit too much eating and drinking!

Now that I'm back home, I have some catching up to do...

Here are some pictures of the trip
