This is always a busy time of the year as everyone prepares for Christmas. Sometimes the joy of giving is taken down by the overwhelming stress of making sure everything is perfect.

For me, it is more important to pay attention to the diet and make sure to keep exercise and body maintenance as a priority. Stress is relieved better by exercise than any other way in my opinion.

Recently, I have made my sauna functional and we have broken it in with some Fire and Ice sessions.

Laird Hamilton has incorporated both sauna and ice into his training and also into the XPT program. After talking with Taylor Somerville on my podcast (below) I tried it for my self for the first time.

I sat in the ice for 10 minutes then went to a hot sauna until I was uncomfortable. Then, 3 minutes in the ice with full submersion. Then, back to the sauna until I was uncomfortable and finished off with a dunk in the ice.

It was really nice and I slept like a baby last night. I look forward to bringing this in as a regular part of the training.

Great start to the week this morning with a great group. Jody, Rusty, Trevor, Josh, Kyle, Turner, Kim, Alan, Michael and I went after a 2 man team leap frog workout. This format is one of my favorites as it is essentially intervals that are determined by your partner.

Trevor and Rusty win with 18 + 3 reps. Everyone else close behind.

Plans were spoiled with some rain this morning. Instead of the 13.2 CrossFit Games workout that I had planned, the 6 of us made a different workout that could keep us moving and in the garage

Core warmup

20 Grasshoppers

40 bicycles with a pause at the end

20 leg reaches

40 flutters with a pause

x 3 rounds

then

6 stations

  1. Ski Erg

  2. pushups

  3. 20 KB Swing

  4. Vup

  5. Assault Bike

  6. Situp

All stations are max reps for the time allotted except the KB swing which is 20. The way this one works is that the KB station determines when everyone switches stations. You can train a large number of people with a small amount of equipment with this type of workout. The determining station could be a 400 m run, 20 kb swings or anything really. It is easy to have 2 teams compete with each other while still using a small amount of equipment.

We went through this for 20 minutes.

Occasionally I like to look back on the Beyondthewhiteboard calendar and find a particular week or day and replicate it to see how I compare to those results. Today, I found an interesting workout that fit with our week. It was November 25, 2015. I replicated that day exactly today.


3 years ago I was able to get 70 reps. Today, 68

3 years ago, 2 rounds + 5 reps. Today 2 rounds + 4 reps

3 years ago, 5 rounds even. Today, 5 rounds + 6 reps

I am constantly trying to improve but as I age, I am also happy to not be losing fitness. In 2 of these workouts I was 1 or 2 reps off my previous best 3 years ago. I surpassed this by 6 reps today.

Lots of work to do…holding steady

Deck of cards  

spades- kettlebell swings

clubs - pushups

diamonds - 45 lb sandbag squats

hearts - situps

 

This trip has been slightly challenging to maintain my everyday Fitness. It has also been challenging to maintain my mental focus on positivity.  

mindset is everything  

whether it is getting up 2 hours earlier or hitting it before dinner, it is incredibly important for me to stay on the path to maintain both mental and physical standards.  

sometimes I have to remind myself that doing something is far better than doing nothing.  Even if I am not getting the type of workout that I get when surrounded by my group or find myself in a swarm of negativity, remembering that veering off the path slightly is better than not walking it at all  

deep thoughts from the Florida Keys  

see you soon

Loooooooooong dayz filming the Saltwater Experience show on this trip. The weather is really nice and we are getting some great stuff. 

 

Days start with Wim Hof Breathing of at least 5 rounds and then push-ups. I have followed that up with a body weight workout or a yoga session to get everything moving.  

I love getting things done but I also miss the garage and the routine of hitting it hard. Be back soon

traveling again. It has been a busy Fall

back at the garage Birthday wishes go to Reggie. I’m sure that Alan has something planned for you.  

On the road workouts have been  

5 mile run

deck of cards

and

50 mountain climbers  

20 v ups  

10 Bear Complex with Sandbag

x 5

 

on this trip I brought a 53 lb kb, a 45 lb sandbag, jump rope and some bands. I’ll get a little more creative in the days to come.  

Mom the way down I listened to a book called The Power of Habit- why we do what we do in business and life. It was interesting and different than I thought it would be. I learned alot

 

i also listened to a great podcast. James Altucher has a fantastic podcast and his interview with Henry Winkler is my favorite yet.  

Henry Winkler was The Fonz. Possibly the most iconic character ever on TV. He was incredibly popular and smooth. Yet, he is severely dislecsic. He has overcome this major issue his whole life.  

This podcast is really good and spot on to the theme I often discuss of “weakness is strength “ 

check it out and also check out my latest podcast w 9 x UFC Weilterweight Champion, Matt Hughes. tomrowlandpodcast.com

This was a great format. I really liked it and I think I could create many others like it with this format and different exercises.


So one round, followed by 2 rounds followed by 3 rounds. Even thought the distance and reps shrink, the 2nd round was toughest as we did the most HPC.

I felt like I did pretty well on it. Kyle was right behind me at Rx.


Today was a day designed to ease into the weekend. It has been a tough week of training and I was sore and somewhat tired. I wanted to move today and clear some of the soreness but not go too crazy. I went back to a partner workout from a few years ago.

2 man team. Only one person works at a time.

For 2 minutes, complete as many reps as possible. Use strategy to see how your team can be the most efficient. For Alan and me, we switched at 10 swings, 5 dips, 10 sbgu, 10 row, 10 lunge and 10 situp.

Once you have worked for 2 minutes on the first exercise, then write your score down and rest 1 minute before starting next one.

Here are our scores from today

With a rare rain storm this morning at our training time, I decided to stay dry and get on the Assault Bike. Once the workout started, we all wished we were running in the rain.

Assault Bike

1:30 max effort followed by 1:30 rest

x 10 rounds

I was getting between 20-25 calories each time with a high of 31 for the first one. Alan and Michael maintained 450 watts each time which had them around 30 calories for each round.

Good one to start this rainy morning
