FreePlay Friday & Fitness Friday

Posted on June 26th, 2009 in Fitness, Free Play Fridays by Fred McKinnon

Hey Everyone,

So – I’ll still give you a “Fitness Friday” update (part of Bryan Patrick’s Fitness Fridays blog carnival) …. but I’m bringing back FreePlay Friday today as well!

Fitness Friday:
I renewed my commitment to our “Island Regimen” program here with Eric Taylor.  We just completed Week 1 of a new, 12-week session.  It’s harder because it’s nearly 85-90 degrees and 100% humidity, even though it’s only 6:00 AM.  I find it harder to breathe when it’s that hot and muggy.

Several folks have been asking on Facebook about this exercise I keep referring to called a “burpee”.  Eric got me a great video – so enjoy.  (I have no clue who this actually IS in the video, it’s not us)

Here’s a copy/paste of our routine from yesterday:

Dynamic Warm up
3 stations:
Ed Log Station 5 minutes of work…no stopping
drag log 25 yards and back
carry log 25 yards and back
carry log overhead 25 yards and back
repeat for 5 minutes

_______________________________________

Endurance Station
Jog 50 yards and back to start for 5 minutes straight.
___________________________________
Strength Station
10 push ups
10 burpees
10 mountain climbers…Repeat this sequence for 5 minutes
15 Minute Routine…. Thats it
I am very proud of everyone for pushing through LES today…

Now onto FreePlay Friday -

I just wanted to celebrate – I’m hooking up with the rest of my family, and we’ll be celebrating several birthdays – my brothers, my nephews, and my Dad’s.  Also, yesterday was my parents 48th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.  What a blessing to be able to have a Godly heritage with a functional family that has given us love and modeled a Christ-like example.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
