Dancing With Dumbbells
Posted February 23, 2010 – 6:40 pm in: FitnessNo, I’m not talking about a day at the office.
I’m talking about an exercise routine last night at the Kachmann Mind Body Institute.
The “heavy” dumbbells in my weekly training sessions are the 15 pounders. They seem real heavy during some exercises and not so very heavy in others. My arms are skinny as well as [...]

Posted February 16, 2010 – 9:51 pm in: FitnessI cannot say that I am fit. I could say I’m more fit than I was, and could also say that I’m less fit than I will be. But I won’t say that. I will say, however, that I feel fairly fit overall.
I know that I’m stronger in certain parts of my body than I [...]

Posted February 9, 2010 – 8:27 pm in: FitnessI know you’re all dying to hear how much pain and suffering I’m undergoing this week. So here’s the skinny. Compared to Tuesday of last week, I’m feeling pretty good. My butt is now almost pain free. I can crawl out of bed without yelping and grasping the headboard for support. My head wound is [...]

Posted February 2, 2010 – 9:12 pm in: FitnessMan is my butt sore. Both cheeks. Distributed discomfort in my derriere. Positive pain in my posterior. Shock and awe in my . . . Well, you get the point. I am seated, but painfully so. Once down, I dread standing up because I know what to expect. MORE PAIN.
I’m not complaining, mind you. Just [...]

Posted January 26, 2010 – 8:18 pm in: FitnessMy abs are tender this evening, as are a select variety of other muscles in various strategic places on my meager frame. I use the term “strategic” because I believe the discomfort I feel is part of a scheme concocted by Erin Long. That scheme, I hope, will result in greater strength and posture for [...]

Posted January 19, 2010 – 5:34 am in: FitnessI was YouTubing the other day, and was thinking about my physical training at the same time. Suddenly, I wondered if my trainer, Erin Long of Kachmann Mind Body Institute, might have posted some physical training videos on YouTube. I searched for her name and BINGO! I clicked on the link and was taken to [...]

Posted January 12, 2010 – 10:44 pm in: FitnessAnother Monday night with Erin at Kachmann Mind Body Institute is responsible for the way I feel right now. Yes, I’m a bit tender here and there. Particularly here, and here, and over there. My abdominal muscles are touchy. My butt is sore. My legs protest when I bend down.
But really, considering all the exercises [...]

Posted January 5, 2010 – 10:24 pm in: FitnessErin is back from vacation. She must have spent quite a few relaxing hours thinking of new tortures for her students. She showed us a few last night.
I won’t go into all the sordid details, but there were a few choice exercises that were particularly challenging. First of all, I selected 10 pound and 15 [...]

Posted December 22, 2009 – 6:31 am in: FitnessMy exercise session last night was dynamic. I use that word because it denotes energy, action, and power. I was involved in all three, and then some. We were all over the floor, striding from one end of the room to the other, carrying weights, trying to step in unison. I felt a bit like [...]

Posted December 16, 2009 – 6:54 am in: FitnessI felt pretty good yesterday after Monday’s exercise session. Today, however, I’m experiencing discomfort bordering on PAIN.
Erin Long introduced the exercise platform into our routine. I had not yet used that device. It adds another dimension to certain exercises. Standing on its edge, I performed something like toe touches except that I held a 10 [...]
