Get fit or die trying
So due to various circumstances beyond the ken of mortal panthers, I’ve managed to miss 2 workouts in a row. I “made them up” but you and I both know that working out by myself didn’t have nearly the effect Continue reading Some light legwork at Gino’s, a few double-unders
Following my normal recent habit, I walked into Ultimate Fitness and started off on rope. It really is a ridiculously effective exercise, working a whole lot of your body in very little space, rain or shine. I got a few Continue reading Climbing, roping, straps and legs
Unless you’ve been under a rock for the past day, you know about the horrible act of cowardice in Boston that took the lives of 3 people and injured 180 others. While the world recovers, a lot of people ask Continue reading Defiance workout in honor of those lost and injured in Boston
