Week One Down!

Week 1 is in the books. Here's a quick workout summary:

12/29: Easy treadmill workout. 45 minutes total with easy/moderate repeats.

12/30: Upper body and core workout. Here's my plug for a couple of my new toys: 1) the "Strength Builder" (www.strengthbuilder.com); 2) "Perfect Pull-up" (www.perfectpullup.com). Push-ups, pull-ups, dips, all sorts of crunches and leg lifts with and without a stability ball -- what fun! Actually this was a fun workout. We had family workout time, where all of us were in the basement doing our various exercises.

12/31: Easy swim workout.

1/1: Bike workout on the trainer; another chance to use a new toy - my new trainer. It's a Kurt Kinetic Pro (www.kurtkinetic.com). The heavy flywheel (18lbs. total) and very quiet fluid drive is quite nice.

1/2: Easy swim workout.

1/3: A rest day.

1/4: A moderate workout on the treadmill ~ about 6 miles total.

36 Weeks to go.
