Run, Swing, Walk, Lift, Repeat!

Greetings everyone,

The journey is still going strong as I was able to get in a nice steady run on Sunday, a good Swings workout on Monday morning and another nice brisk morning walk done this morning.  I added a backpack this time with sand weights in it, basically 4 ankle weights inside the backpack.  I found the weights at Five Below for only $10 total, so if you are looking at a cheap fitness hack, there you go.  Eight extra pounds in an old backpack and boom: you have yourself a handy fitness hack to change up your workout a bit. My backpack had a slim pocket inside the size of a laptop, so I was able to fit in the weights vertically and closer to my back, instead of just dead weight at the bottom of the pack. 

I've also been getting in my Total Gym workouts too, adding that to the plan at least twice a week.  My main focus is boosting the cardio workouts like runs, walks and swing workouts.  Two times a week on the Total Gym helps me maintain my strength as I try to get more cardio added to my daily routines. 

I have intentions on doing a kettlebell swings video soon.  Some people have been asking a lot about adding swings to their routines and want some additional tips on how to do that. 

The weight loss journey is still going well, I've hit a stalemate of sorts on the scale but I feel my body changing for the better.  Watching dietary intake each day is still a key part of my process.  

Til next time, Stay Strong!

Coach Rick
