Last night I went to the gym and it was awesome! Literally nobody is at the gym on Friday night. They recently moved our cable tower to a better location and since I was alone, I got to play around with it for an hour. I had a great workout using the cables and all the attachments. Well 4 of the attachments. I also used a step for most of the moves and after my mostly leg workout, I finished with a few ab moves on the Bosu and Stability ball. The Captain's chair is also right next to the cable tower in it's new location, so I hopped on that sucker too ;)

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
Don't you feel great after a good workout like that? To me, there are few things better in life then working up a good sweat.
If you do airobic exercising like the bike or treadmill etc, all you need to do is keep your heart beating just a littlle higher then normal for 45 minutes,....that will release the endorphins in your brain. That was the best "High" I ever had....even better then taking narcotics and it lasted up to 14 hours!
I always tried to shoot for a heart rate of 120 but in the beginning., or on days when I was feeling a little tired, I couldn't get it that high, but the trick is to always go at a pace you think you can maintain for the duration. Even if you can't do 45 minutes. That's ok. Start low and work your way up.
I was a long distance runner so I seldom did very much strength training but when I did, I alternated by doing strength every other day.
I'm so proud of you! Keep it up because the key to having a healthy mind is in having a healthy body.
God Bless
