Yesterday was supposed to be a rest day, but I wound up at the gym anyway through a series of serendipitous events. I didn't want to interfere with my recovery from my Stronglifts workout from the day before, so I kinda goofed off and did whatever I felt like doing since I was already there and had the energy, and I ended up getting a pretty good workout. I did tire flips up and down the gym floor (I pretended I was helping to build a shelter), pushed the sled that the football players used (helping to drag a deer back to camp), did a few sprints (running from a bear!), some reverse crunches, sit ups, planks, and lat pulldowns. Today my body's screaming "that hurt so good! Do it again!"

I haven't exactly decided, but I think I'm either swimming or I'll do a 20-minute lower-body bodyweight session in my living room while watching TV.

You can swim while watching TV in your living room??!! You must have a damn nice house!

I just bought a new Trek Mtn Bike over the weekend! I am enjoying riding it all around on local trails & tackling big hills. Am outfitting it w/ my own customization gear, which I've done for all my other bikes (this is my 3rd, yes I know...) Just got a cool training book, The Power Meter Handbook (for cyclists) & website Free Training Log, Training Plans and Food Diary | TrainingPeaks, to prepare myself for my 6 week Alaska-Canada-Calif Bike Tour this June & July, in which I'll fly one way to Glacier National Park (Gustavus is the town), then bike, & take the occasional ferry boat south til I get back home to NorCal. Am riding almost daily for local commutes & after-work sprints & tackling local hills too, gotta get IN SHAPE for this Alaska trip in 100 days. Still doing my pre-breakfast walks 5-6 mornings a week + Mon,Tues,Thurs,Fri weightlifting & floor exercises.

My goal is to do 100 pushups by my birthday in May. I have set up mini-workouts during the day to try to fool my body into thinking I am an active person, rather than a sedentary person who works out. So I do a little workout each hour on the hour.

6:00 am: 22 pushups, 1 chinup/hang, 3 empty bar squats, 30 jumping jacks, stretch
7:00 am: 18 pushups, 1 chinup/hang, 3 empty bar squats, 30 jumping jacks, stretch
8:00 am: 16 pushups, 1 chinup/hang, 3 empty bar squats, 30 jumping jacks, stretch

So far so good.

BW exercises for 25 mins followed by a nice walk for +1 hour in the sun. Glad to get outside during this long winter and enjoy the spectacular weather.

I have a pull-up bar set so I can reach up to it while standing flat on the floor in my bare feet.

I had been working on chin-ups by chinning up as high as I can, then holding, followed by pulling up from a progressive series of platforms beyond floor level, created by stacking a series of eight 2x10" blocks. Today I found I am now able to do a full chin-up from every height except standing on the floor. They felt almost easy, but now I am sore. Perhaps I will be able to do that last little bit to reach my goal in the next workout.

Then: pull-ups!

Bench press and dead lift, neither of which I have done for 3 weeks. Improved on both.
