Fair Weather Biking
Posted March 28, 2010 – 9:43 pm in: Fitness, JournalMy elliptical trainer is temporarily out of commission. The last few times I used it, I couldn’t increase the resistance enough to get a really good workout. I sent an email to the manufacturer and found out that I have to partially disassemble it in order to find out what’s wrong. That chore requires the [...]

Posted March 16, 2010 – 9:20 pm in: Fitness, JournalSome recent events: I spent 1 exciting hour in open training last night. We used the 4 station method of working our buns off. Each station offered its own interesting slant on conditioning. Each was useful in its own way. I’m not saying what the 4 stations consisted of, except to say that each consisted [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 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 [...]
