Chest and Biceps Circuit

Day two of the Wilderness First Responder recertification. Lots of learning today about traction splints, anaphylaxis and heat related illness. All of this great training makes you realize that nothing replaces making sound judgement calls in the outdoors and preventing accidents from happening in the first place.

Tonight's quote is from Robert Kiyosaki:

"Confidence comes from discipline and training."

We had a full house at the workout tonight with seven people showing up for the chest and biceps circuit.

Workout: Chest and Biceps
Circuit Training: Perform each exercise for one minute to complete a set. Three sets total.
Jump Rope
Weighted Dips or Push-Ups
Barbell Curls
Laying Medicine Ball Chest Pass
Dumbbell Hammer Curls
Dumbbell Flies
Forearm Wrist Roll-Ups

Have a Great Day!

The Fish Sweats and Leg Circuit

Today I spent the day in my Wilderness First Responder recertification class. It is always a valuable refresher on skills that fortunately I do not have to use too often.

After work, six of us did a leg circuit followed by dinner at sushi with friends and co-workers that I have not seen in a long time. I did get the all-you-can-eat sushi and well... I ate all I could. This leads to what I refer to as "The Fish Sweats". It is when I lie down in bed and my body is processing all of that fish and I do actually sweat. But man, that was good food!

Today's quote is from Kurt Cobain:

"It is okay to eat fish because they don't have any feelings."

Workout: Legs
Evening Circuit: Perform each exercise for one minute to complete a set. Three sets total.
Shuttle Run
Walking Lunges
Lightweight Barbell Squats
24" Box Jumps
Calf Raises
Abdominal Crunches
Glute Hamstring Developer

Have a Great Day!

Rest Day Yesterday, Legs Today, and a WFR Recert!

Yesterday was my rest day from lifting weights. In the evening I had the chance to visit with a good friend that was visiting Tucson from the east coast and we had a great evening of just hanging out and shooting the breeze. It is nice to see people that you care about and be reminded again of the value of friendship!

Today I begin a three day training to re-certify my Wilderness First Responder certification. Lots of classroom learning and hands on application. It is great to get the refresher before you actually need to help people out in the wilderness.

I will post later with an evening leg workout.

Have a Great Day!
