One of the tools in the boxing/kick-boxing gym is the speed bag. Fighters have used the speed bag but other watching it on the Rocky movies, many people might not understand what it is and why one would want to use it (the speed bag). My workouts and over all fitness plan is going well! I’ve [...] I’ve had to be more creative as the garage is full and I cannot get to my weight bench (that has been collecting dust for years). Part of what I’ve been doing this week has been strength training. I am doing about half body-weight and half dumbbells. In this post I’ll talk about the exercises that are working [...] I am happy to report that I feel well enough to start up my training again. The last time I worked out was Sunday, November 8th. I did a nice run but was kind of interrupted by finding an iPhone. I had to stop and try and find the owner from his call list. That [...] Have you ever noticed that the best exercise is the one that you don’t really notice? I mean if you like the activity – the time just flies by. This is what I have ended up doing lots of lately – hill running/hiking! I started running a lot (for me) in the last couple of weeks [...] I remember back to when I was working out to be a kick-boxer and I got a trainer. He told me that if I wanted to learn how to box, I was going to have to do the road work in the morning. What I asked? I had to run a couple of miles before [...] The world is wonderful! The last post I mentioned that I was going to fix my mountain bike’s gears and then go on a ride. I was successful at getting the gears adjusted ok and went on the ride through Sycamore Canyon! Here is a couple of links about Goodan Ranch and a map of [...] As readers of this blog know, I purchased a couple of mountain bikes recently. The Walmart bike did not last but the Schwinn bike is still going ok. I went out riding last week but tried to do a couple of things. I had to adjust the seat becuase my family jewels were getting crushed. I’m [...] Last month in my post entitled, “Heavy bag workouts? You can get a good workout!” I pointed out some ways to use the bag along with rationals, so you could do your own heavy bag workouts. In this post I will try and point out some ways to create your workout as well as use [...] I have not been working out as much lately but I have cleared out the garage from the Christmas decorations and put out my heavy bag again! I have done one post on the merits of the bag workout but I thought I’d go into more detail in this post. First here is a video [...] I went jogging yesterday and only made it past the one mile mark and I had to start walking. My wind was fine but I got a pain under my left knee cap. I’ve learned to listen to my body from my youthful errant ways when I followed the mantra, No Pain – [...] I have found one of the best places to get a little fun and exercise near my Santee home – Santee Lakes! I’ve often ignored the lakes even though twice in recent history I have lived near the lakes. I heard the Summer movies and events and could not figure out what would be so [...] I saw this World News story the other day about streakers and was mildly interested because the word “streaking” in California generally has another connotation – you know – running without any clothes! Well after seeing the story I realized that this was yet another good example of people taking control of their lives and improving [...] I have been more active in the last year than the previous five years. I have jogged, walked, hiked, mountain bicycled, hit the bag and sparred. Boy let me tell you that the easiest workouts have been hiking and mountain biking. I think that any activity is easier if you are also getting enjoyment out [...] Well I have cleaned out the garage and finally got to have a kickboxing workout today! What you might be asking is a kickboxing workout? Well to start with the kickboxing bag I have is filled with water and moves around a bit as I workout. I try to work different parts of my body as [...] Weights and tread-mills take the fun out of exercise! But, one needs to exercise in some capacity to affect weight loss faster. Many folk will tell you that aerobic exercise can burn fat faster than lifting and have positive cardio-pulminary benefits. In this post I will speak about fun, exercise and injury prevention. Here is [...] |
