30X30 Challenge: Day 22

This is my 22nd day of The Lean Berets 30X30 Challenge!

Time:  60 minutes

Exercise: Meditation breathing, joint mobility, Z, KBs, walking, Frisbee with family

Comments: I taught a corporate Kettlebell workshop today with wife Candas so got a few reps in there with demos, but basically my workout today was walking with family down to park then playing Frisbees for 30 minutes or so. My oldest daughter Alicia was visiting today, so I had all three of my children playing at the park at one time which was nice for me. Lead by example. Want your kids to be fit? Be fit yourself.

30X30: Day 17

This is my 17th day of The Lean Berets 30X30 Challenge!

Time:  45 minutes

Exercise: Meditation breathing, Arnis fighting sticks, joint mobility, Z, HANGTUFF inversion, double KB circuits, single KB press, Indian Clubs, pull ups

Comments: Had a nice HARD training session with the double KBs tonight--two 16kgs. Candas my wife threw down with me in Mancave. To cap off a great night of sweat, I finally got back up to 10 pull ups in a row with the overhand grip too! I've been working my way back up from 3-4 as for over a year I couldn't do pull ups due to a forearm strain. My goal is 15 again which was my lifetime PR about 7 years ago.

Tonight! 5 rounds of 5 exercises for 5 reps each non-stop then switch partners. 5X5X5

  1. Double swings
  2. Double high pulls
  3. Double presses
  4. Double snatches
  5. Deep squats
So got my 30 and then some and earned it tonight. Was quivering at the end. Good stuff. NO Excuses!
