Training Progress

Z-Health - combo R & I warmup - 10 min

Working Supersets w16kg

Swings (10 L, R x 2) x 3 + (12 L, R x 2) x 2 = 216 reps
Hindu Squats (30 x 5) = 150 reps

At 366 reps, this is a tough workout, but I have a plan: I will hold at 150 reps in Hindu Squats for a while and work up to 5 sets of 12 x 4 (L,R) with the 16kg. That will be total 390 reps! I will add 10 more Squats to make it an even 400.

Next I may try moving up to the 24kg with the same format or switch to something else for a change.

very tired, sleepy & depressed at workout time - nap instead

10/12/08
walking on logging roads & ATV trails ~ 3 hrs - ditto yesterday


10/11/08
Up north scouting and preparing for deer hunting season. Did a little grouse hunting too

walking on logging roads & ATV trails ~ 2 hrs - hanging deer stands. Occasional heavy carrying and lifting involved.

For those of you unacquainted with walking in the Minnesota north woods, it's not like your stroll in the mall or walk on a treadmill. These trails are very uneven, muddy and often laced with fallen tree limbs and large rocks. Once you get off the trail, it's a real workout and test of agility just walking, with all the rocks, deadfalls and thick brush, it burns some serious calories getting around! High boots are highly recommended to keep stuff out off your feet and limit twisted ankles.
