Fitness Platoon – January 07, 2009

1 mile Fitness Decks: Deck 1, Light Full-Body workout: Link We were contending with freezing rain so the run was cut short. I brought the phase 1 deck for myself, and since we had a bunch of new people we just decided to make it a pretty easy workout. This, by the way, is a [...]

4.5 mile run Deck 3— PHASE 2, Lower Body Workout: link Alas, I was sick so I wasn't at PT yesterday, but above was the workout performed. My goal was to go 12 weeks without missing a workout and I made it 27 weeks. I've had a stomach bug so I needed an extra day [...]

3 mile run I'm untethered from the group this week visiting family for the holidays. I can't stress how effective it has been to work out with a group instead of by myself. Not only do I not miss workouts, but I also tend to run harder when there is someone just in front of [...]

DECK 2 – PHASE 2, Upper body workout: Link 1.5 mile run We've got a lot of new people in the group so we'll probably do more phase 2 workouts until everyone gets used to the activity.

1.5 mile run Deck 3— PHASE 2, Lower Body Workout: link We moved our workout time back to 0600 to help accommodate those with jobs. That means we're running in the dark at this time of year. Taylor's ship date got pushed back, so maybe we'll get him up to 25 pull-ups before he ships.
