WOD – Keeping active in the gym in-between marathon training

“Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.” — Henry David Thoreau, poet and philosopher

In addition to the stress I put on my legs during my marathon training I have added the leg extension to my training regime.  

My weight is back to normal since I did not do any long training runs for the marathon this week. A few weeks ago it dropped to 137!.  

I love conducting my upper body workouts with the medicine ball. I typically do 2 sets of at least 20 with this 14 pound ball.

Other exercises completed during this gym workout were: 150 jumping jacks; 70 sit-ups; 2-mile run on treadmill; 20 push-ups; 20 repeats of 30 pound bicep curls; 20 repeats of 50 pounds on leg extension, and 40 repeats of 30 pounds on leg extension.

    • I love it because it is never busy. Not many in the neighborhood care about maintaining their fitness. The gym costs only $15 a month, and hell they don’t even trap you into paying month-by-month.
