Daily Workout - More Yard Work!!

For the last three days all I have been doing is yard work. The last two days it's been more like "House Work" but not on the inside, I've been power washing and cleaning like a mad man... 10 hour days. My house has white vinyl siding and it can get really nasty looking in a hurry. And then there is the brick and concert to deal with. There's also a small shed/guest house and the pool house that was filled with all kinds of pool related stuff that all needed cleaning... Well, it's done now and tomorrow morning I am hitting the gym. I can't say that the last three days have been a break. I would much rather have done my regular workouts but then my house and yard wouldn't look as good as they do now. Maybe I'll take a picture of it tomorrow??

Daily Workout - Yard Work at Home

Not too much to say today other than I spent all day doing yard work. It consisted of weed eating, mowing, and more filling holes in the yard. This took me about 6 hours to do and left me beat by the end of the day. I would have to say I burned around 2500 - 3000 calories in all, and had no more energy to do an actual workout.

Daily Workout - Chest in Home Gym

I went to my Chiropractor today for another visit (Second one) and she didn't have to do too much! She said I was good for a while now and could come back in a month or two for a minor maintenance adjustment. I have to say before this recent session, I was not a Chiropractor fan. When I was in my early twenties I had what you would call a very bad experience and swore I would never go back and see another chiropractor. So for years I have lived with moderate back pain. As it looks now this may have been for nothing!

Anyways, today I did a very late Chest workout (After midnight).

• Warmup: Elliptical.
• Bench Press with Dumbells.
• Incline Dumbbell Press Flies.
• 3 Stage Pushups: Planche, Extended, and Regular.
• Abs: Side Twists.
• Misc. Stretching.

Total workout time: About 1 hour.

Daily Workout Again - Arms - Total Gym

Today I started something a little different... I usually do an entire leg stretching routine but I seem to have hit a plateau and I'm not getting anymore extension in my stretching? So today I only did a few of my stretching exercises and worked them much deeper. My thoughts here are less is more, and see if deeper stretching less often will work better or at least get me past this plateau.

• 10 Minutes Elliptical. (Earlier in the day - split workout)
• Biceps: Lying Down Curls with Total Gym. (3 Sets with an increase in the incline each time)
• Biceps: Seated Curls with Total Gym. (2 Sets with a decrease in the incline each time)
• Triceps: Seated Overhead Extension with the Total Gym.
• Triceps: Lying Down Extension with the Total Gym.
• Triceps: Rear Extension with the Total Gym.
• Abs: Crunches and Leg Raises.
• Misc Stretching.

Total workout time: About 1 hour.

Daily Workout - Back with Total Gym

The back is feeling great now, I think I was starting to get used to the regular daily pain and now that it's gone, I almost feel like I have more strength overall.

I've got another chiropractor appointment this Wednesday to see how things are but I don't feel like I need it.

• 10 Minutes Punching Bag.
• Total Gym - Seated Wide Row.
• Total Gym - Seated Narrow Row.
• Total Gym - Pull Downs (Lying on Back).
• Total Gym - Abs: Seated Side Twists in Forward Position).
