One Day at a Time

I did TRX for the fourth time today!!!  I was impressed with my endurance level this time and how much better my cardiovascular conditioning has become.  The main area I need to work on at this point is my balance.  If I can add more stretching to my weekly routines, I believe I can obtain greater balance and flexibility.  Upper body routines were pretty easy for me as I'm used to Weight Workouts.  My lower body is another story.  I will get there One day at a Time!!!

I'm off of work at Eudora Welty Library this weekend.  Need to give the mind the time to rest.  Body and Mind are one if you think about it.  How you feel mentally affects you physically and how you feel physically affects you mentally.  Gonna be busy next week at Work, I've got Jury Duty Monday and lists of other things.  Well, until we meet again friends Remember One Day at a Time!!!!

Getting Better Every Week!!!!

Just did a Powerlates Class at Deville Y!!!  I mad it through whole class without having to stop much and didnt feel as out of breath at the end.  I strongly recommend this class and I also strongly recommend guys to start trying Pilates and Yoga.  I still do my share of weightlifting but realize my joints are not what they once were.  Now that I'm getting my cardiovascular conditioning back, time to gain flexibility back to when I was a teenager if I can.  Back to work tomorrow.  Welty Library was closed today in honor of Veterans Day!!!  Special Thanks to all who have served!!!  I will feel nice and relaxed in the morning and ready to do what I do best, Customer Service and Research!!!!

TRX Part 3

Well its a cool day here in Jackson, MS.  I'm on a 3 day weekend.  The Eudora Welty Library is closed on Monday in observance of Veteran's Day.  I feel I hada productive week at work.  I helped many patrons and am helped moved book shelf in reservation of new teen area that will be developed.  The estimated date of arrival is not definite at this point.

Anyway, I took the TRX class for the third time today and feel great.  I can definitely tell I'm getting more and more flexible and my endurance is increasing.  I strongly recommend TRX to anyone especially Men.  Us guys have to realize that stretching and flexibility is more important than trying to have 24 inch biceps.  Here is an article in Men's fitness on the importance of stretching

I feel nice and relaxed.  Have to get haircut, deal with some things and read more on my current book Coreography: The Autobiography of Corey Feldman.  I love reading books about people's lives.  Everyone have a great weekend and Remember on Veteran's Day to honor those who have served.

Hump Day

Its Wednesday Hump Day.  I worked out at Deville Y and did both weights and cardio.  Did light weight workout to build up endurance.  Due to busy day yesterday, I wasnt able to run or walk.  Got 25 minutes on the Elliptical.  Its helped my progress at work.  I feel more relaxed when working and performing research.

Weight Training

Todays Powerlates class had more weightlifting added on to stretching.  My abdominal strength and flexibility is getting better.  However, I still need to do more stretching on my own.  It will help me sustain a lot of the standing exercises better.  I did awesome at pushups and skull crushers cause Im used to those.  I feel relaxed and ready for a fulls day work tomorrow at the Eudora Welty Library.
