Weights, Boxing, Tailgating on a Gorgeous Saturday

Weights & Boxing
This morning I got up and did Cathe Friedrich's STS Meso 1 Disc 2 - Back and Triceps. I also did her MMA Boxing DVD after the weights. I was very disappointed to not be able to run as it turned out to be a gorgeous day. For the chinups and pullups, I had to use resistance tubing as I do not have a pullup option at home.

Tailgating
After my workout, I got cleaned up and we headed over to War Memorial Stadium to do some tailgating for the Arkansas vs LSU game. I can't even describe what a beautiful day it turned out to be. It started off around 33 degrees, but quickly warmed up to about 60 degrees with not a cloud in the sky.
 
 
 
 
 
 
We had a great time. We didn't have tickets to the game and neither did one other couple. Our friends who have the tailgating spot have a generator and hook up a tv. Big fail today...generator died just as those with tickets were heading to the game. Jason and I stuck around with our friends to keep them company for a bit, but then we ended up heading on home. Jason had the game recording so he was able to still watch from the beginning

Last night we did not get a  chance to make our own Thanksgiving dinner as planned, so while Jason is watching the game, that is what I will be up to (along with laundry and Christmas decorations). 

I hope everyone is having a great Saturday!

Workout Wednesday - Body Blaster Tabata

Happy Hump Day! I wanted to thank everyone for their comments on yesterday's post: Be Kinder to Your Body. Calories are Not the Enemy . It sounds like it resonated with many of you. Today I wanted to share a new workout with you. I've been working on interval workouts for some of my clients. I try to give them the most bang for their buck (time). I know that in an ideal world, we would all have time to do longer workouts. There would never be scheduling conflicts, sick husbands or kids, or sick us. In reality, workouts need to be effective and efficient. And they don't have to be lengthy to be effective and efficient either. There's no need to spend hours in a gym to get in a good workout. Interval workouts like HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) or tabata, or even interval running are great ways to get in a fantastic workout in a short amount of time and have many benefits. You can read more about Tabata workouts  here .

Piriformis Update & Grilled Veggie Salad

New Piriformis Exercises Today wasn't too terrible for a Monday. Of course, I did leave a little early. That always helps huh ;-) I had another round of physical therapy today. My PT has been really researching piriformis syndrome and found an interesting article that discusses the use of McKenzie Exercises - typically used for back pain. I have started adding in low back extensions (one of the exercises) but now have a whole new list of exercises to add into my workout rotations. But, if it helps, I'll do it. I also asked her about dry needling (thanks Sarena ), which is sort of similar to acupuncture, but is more about trigger point and intramuscular stimulation. And I'm glad I asked because the timing is uncanny. One of the doctor's in the clinic happens to be going to get certified this weekend. They both believe that I am a prime candidate for the procedure. So we'll see how that goes. Kind of scared because I hate hate hate needles. Have any of you tr
