Strength Training

I had a great week in fitness.  I worked out 5 days this week and began strength training via DVD and even put together my own routine with hand weights and a kettlebell.  I cannot say enough how much I think I am going to actually enjoy the kettlebell.  It adds a whole new level to my fitness routine.  I had been fearful of hurting myself but have suffered no injuries thus far.

My main focus is going to be on consistency - set a schedule and stick to it.  The idea that I can't give myself 30 minutes once or twice per day to get healthier and stronger is ludicrous.  If I have time to sit, I have time to workout.  It really is that simple.  No excuses from here on out.

I am pleased with this effort.

I can do better though. I want to get back up to walking 6 days a week with an average of 5 miles per day.

08.03.2009 To 08.09.2009 Summary

I didn't walk much this week because I was resting to fully recover after being sick. However I did manage to get back out there this weekend and logged a few miles. It was enough to get me back into the groove. I should return to my normal routine Monday morning.
