GIT IT #Workout
I worked out two days in a row. Not just any ol' workout but hit the weights twice back-to-back. I normally don't do that. It was good. We primarily worked the upper body today since the lower body was worked yesterday. I normally am a little more chatty with Heather at least during my rest periods but today I was in thought. What was ...

Are We Done Yet Workout
So today we hit the Smith Machine pretty hard. I was a bit winded due to the extended weekend of lazying around and hanging out at the amusement park but I got up early and pushed on. Didn't help that I only got about 5.5 hours of sleep last night. I know I know I must do better but was watching the movie "Contraband" and just had to see ...

Go For It Workout
Should have known I was going to have a challenging day when my high pony tail got caught in the car door this morning! I walk into the gym and lo' and behold...it is humid....and muggy. Where is the air conditioner when you need it? With that much dampness in the air it really helps with the AROMA of the entire place. Yes, I complained ...

What I’m Listening To
When I workout I need some heart-pounding, body-rocking, bass-thumping music in my ears. My propensity for the BASS comes from my years spent at one of the best universities in the country, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University!
Go Rattlers!!!
So let's go...this is what I am listening to this week. I tend to rotate my music about ...
