I'm away and have to improvise. They don't have the usual rack of free weights in this hotel sadly. I did repetitive reps of push ups, deep knee bends, calf raises then evening sit ups. Then my daughter and I got in 15 min swimming. I got my morning sit ups in also. Plus we walked about 3 hours today.

[Tornadic Thoughts]

Working on motivation and momentum, as I've been slacking and backtracking. I'm the hardest one to convince that I'm worth my time, it seems.

• Bounced on the mini-trampoline for a couple songs.
• Did legs up the safety bar on the trampoline rather than the wall.
  
• Danced with and without the hula hoops for a few tunes.
• Stretched upper body using the small hoop.
  
• Walked to the mountain stream to do some chanting and breathing exercises.
• Did a couple yoga poses with the aid of the tree roots. (must remember to take additional props next trip out)
  
• Carried several buckets of water from one of the rain barrels to the raised beds and garden on the other side of the property (have plans to relocate soon) to give the babies a drink, switching arms with each carry, doing squats to duck under the barbed wire, and several more squats while doing some hand digging, tugging, and pulling like hell to harvest a little wild garlic.

May tomorrow's potential aftershocks not wreak too much havoc and may the ribs stay in place, for a change.

Today Sandbag Strength Training.

I like to improvise with things that I have around the house when I can because well I'm just cheap. Why buy something when you can make it! My "Sandbag" is actually a 50lb bag of water softener salt that I have wrapped up in duct tape to protect it from splitting. It works like a charm.

One cycle consists of a SQUAT(to grab on to it from the floor), a CLEAN(to get it to chest level), an overhead PRESS, then back to a clean position, a bent over ROW, drop it to the floor, sit down on the floor with it between my legs, grab onto it low back and to a CHEST PRESS, lie back down with it on my chest, then do a SIT UP.

It looks more complex than it really is and only takes about 15sec or so to complete one cycle. It's a great way of getting in a lot of compound movements, volume and improving grip strength in a short amount of time. It's also has cardio and endurance benefits.

The "Carry" portion of the workout is squatting then lifting and shouldering the "Sandbag" then squatting and picking up a weight with the opposite side. So for example the sandbag is on the right shoulder, squat and pick up a weight with the left hand. I then "carry" down the length of my driveway and back again (about 60 meters) {switch sides for the next carry} The weight I used was a kettlebell

So the reps were....
5, carry, 4, carry, 3, carry, 2, carry, 1, carry. Rest 1-2mins, then:
5, carry, 4, carry, 3, carry, 2, carry. Rest 1-2mins, then:
5, carry, 4, carry, 3, carry. Rest 1--2mins, then:
5, carry, 4, carry. Rest 1-2mins, then:
5, carry. Rest. Done.

This took about 40mins to complete.

2 mile step aerobics class

I might do some extra stretching later. It was my first time in this class, and my bad shoulder needed a little more of a warm-up.

Got a knee injury so I am taking it slow. I didn't go to my walking group this morning.
