3rd Week of NBCD 2009 Weight Loss Challenge

Greetings Everyone,

Wow, what a hectic week!! Well, I'm keeping up with my weekly blog even though I'm a couple of days late. The month of January has been a very active month already!!

Even though the weather changes from warm, then cold, then back to warm, I try to stay consistent with my exercise regimen. We even had snow this week!! Check out the photo! In fact, I take advantage of the university recreational facility in which I have a membership. It is an excellent facility with all the latest exercise equipment.

Here is my exercise regimen at the university recreational facility:

• Stretch and warm up


• Lift weights on the new resistant machines


• Do reps of three on each machine


• Reps on the machines include Lats, chest, front legs, back legs, stomach and bicep pulls.


• Then I do free weights - 35lbs on each arm

After I complete my 30 minute weight lifting, I then go to the racket ball courts. I love playing racketball because it's like tennis yet much faster. I go into one of the courts (by myself) and hit the racketball for approximately 15 - 20 minutes. I never know what to predict in my game, but it's fast action and it allows me to keep my agility, reaction time and speed up!! I am still an athlete so I have to be COMPETITIVE!! I EVEN GET TO YELL INSIDE THE RACKETBALL COURT TO LET OUT SOME COMPETITIVE ENERGY!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Yes, that feels real good!!

After racketball, I then hit the indoor track which goes all around the facility on the second floor. First, I do a brisk walk for the first lap and then I start jogging. I usually job about 4 to 5 laps. By the final lap, I am at 3/4 top speed! Not bad for a 50 year-old!!

Then that's it and it only took less than 60 minutes to complete a workout with a variety of exercise activities. This also keeps my interest up in exercising.

By the end of the week, I returned to my neighborhood outdoor recreational park to do my INTENSE FOOTBALL FITNESS WORKOUT. Check it out and let me know what you think about it.

Remember to do you best and JUST KEEP UP YOUR WORKOUT REGIMEN THROUGHOUT THE WINTER MONTHS THE BEST WAY YOU CAN!!
