How does a Farmer walk...does it entail a pair of corduroy pants ,and a dirty waistcoat, chewing on a piece of straw...?????????

Ooooo rrrrrrrr.me duck !!!!

 

Farmer's walk...a basic move (pick up two heavy things and walk) that produces big results.  Corduroy pants are optional unless your trying to sneak up on someone.

 

Here's Brian Alsruhe (expert in all things strongman related and king of traps) to explain the details...

 

[Doreensfree]

Ahhh...yes I've got it now...pick up your and piggy,s wallets..in each hand...and walk away with it as fast as I can...and keep on going..

You sound like a big strong boy for ya mammy.....

[Doreensfree]

Nope!  I have no desire to prance around on stage wearing nothing but a spray tan and a banana hammock.

 

Not that anyone asked, but for the record: I'm not a bodybuilder.  I train for strength and performance.  Bodybuilding is a weird world and frankly it creeps me out.

 

But hey, to each their own.

[Doreensfree]

I have no doubt...your performance is very strong .....just sayin !!!!

Another day I couldn't get up in the morning in time to get on the elliptical (sigh).  I'm leaving the office now and will not get any dinner till I put in my 1/2 on that machine!  

[Boo]

Got my morning strength work in.  And since it's 65 degrees outside right now, seems a perfect time to get in a little trail running.

 

Make hay while the sun shines (even if it is overcast).

Did it last night and hit it again at 7am today for another 30 minutes, 3.22 miles.  Boo's on the case, how 'bout you, Lisa?

Great idea!  Except when I got to the trailhead, I remembered that I hadn't put my headlamp back in my running pack.  So, it was an abbreviated run at best.

 

Not to go off on a tangent, but...why don't we just stay on daylight savings time permanently?  Spring forward in March and then leave the clocks alone after that.

Took cody for a 4 mile walk since it was up to 35 degrees today....so far so good

I agree!  It’s so dumb. 

 

3rd day in a row 30 minutes on elliptical. I know it’s not great to do the same thing every day but it’s a great machine and I change the incline and resistance.

Did the boxing thing this morning.  Had some time left over and felt pretty good so I added 10 minutes of core work (planks, roll outs, and supermans) to the routine.

 

I talk a lot here about lifting weights and boxing, because that's the cool stuff.  However, an important part of my program that may very well prove as beneficial as anything I'm doing is mobility work.  I do a dynamic warm-up with some priming moves before I start and finish each workout with mobility drills.  For the last few months, I have started doing a mobility move during the rest period between sets on lifting days.  I'm not getting any younger, but I feel like I am.

 

These drills form the base of my mobility work if anyone is interested in incorporating them into their routine.

This is my mornings !!!!

[Boo]

Wasn't really feeling it this morning, but did my strength work anyway.

 

Some days you're hitting on all cylinders.  Other days you just punch the clock and do the work.

[Frezflops]

Need to get on treadmill today...woke up later than usual must have been tired I guess. But that always throughs me off the rest of day I think.

Lisa

[PeaceTrain]

Yep, I know whatcha mean. Jump on and that'll put you right again!  

Dance aerobics 1 hr. 10 minutes this morning 

 

[Frezflops]

Did an hour on the treadmill today....hopefully I can keep up my exercise mojo when the semester starts....school sucks the life and the time outta me.

[PeaceTrain]

Stay strong, Lisa. Exercise, if I can squeeze it in when busy, gives me more energy. I imagine it’s  the same for you

[PeaceTrain]

45 minutes kickboxing this morning- after sleeping in till almost 10!  How’s everyone else doing?

Right on schedule.  Got my strength work in this morning.  

 

Over the weekend, I got in a good boxing workout on Saturday and hiked 8.3 miles on Sunday.

 

Also raked a lot of leaves over the weekend.  I'm counting that as low intensity exercise.
