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

On the road workouts have been  

5 mile run

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 “

Oct 18

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

Jelly Legs + Krispy Kreme = Alan’s 51st Birthday

I have been on a shoot for Into the Blue in the Florida Keys until yesterday

The guys have been killing it in the garage while I am gone. I managed to get in a workout everyday while I was gone. Some of the highlights include:

Deck of Cards

Deck of cards using only core exercises

5 miles 500 pushups

25 sets of 50 flutter kicks/25 sets of 20 pushups

Run 5 miles in the Florida Mid Day sun


Yesterday was Alan’s Birthday and he wanted to do his favorite workout

Jelly Legs

20 burpees/1 Squat

19 burpees/2 squats

18 burpees/3 squats…

all the way to 1 burpee/20 squats

Alan did this in a 20 lb vest as tradition requires

I finished slightly behind Josh at 19:42 which is 20 seconds off my best time ever

Today, we went back to the weights

Jack

10 Push Press at 115

10 KB Swing at 53

10 Box Jump/Step Up at 24”

AMRAP 20 min


I looked on the whiteboard and saw that my previous score was 8 rounds even. I cruised past 8 rounds easily while I was trying to keep up with Justin. Justin finished with 13+ rounds! I got 11 rounds + 8 push press and was astonished. How could I beat my time so badly? Was I sick, injured? A closer look showed me why


ok, that makes WAY more sense. A 20 lb vest + Murph and Coe before doing this workout would easily cut 3 + rounds off. Maybe I should have done better today!

Its been a little busy at work, but I am really trying to write here every day. I am doing so much writing and producing new content on my business pages, that it has been hard to even get the workout down on this page. Sorry about that.

Check out www.saltwaterexperience.com or www.tomrowlandpodcast.com to see all the new shows, articles, and podcasts that are going up each week.

As for the workout, nothing has slowed down. As work gets crazy or stressful, my peace is found in long runs, long walks, and close to death workouts. Funny how it makes me feel so much better…immediately.

Went to a Games workout today

14.4

AMReps in 14 mins:

60 Row (calories)s

50 Toes-to-bars

40 Wall Balls, 20 lbs, 10 ft

30 Cleans, 135 lbs

20 Muscle-ups

I have a score of 182 on this one which means I finished the cleans and got 2 Muscle ups before time ran out. I looked through my notes and thought I would try to break things up a little and see if I was able to do better. I did, in fact make a difference in my performance by breaking things into more manageable chunks.

I rowed 60 as fast as possible, then did sets of 10 on T2B, then 20, 10, 10 on Wall Balls and 5,5,5,5,3,2,3,2 on Cleans. At this point I had almost a minute and a half left to do 3 muscle ups to beat my previous score. I was smoked and made 3-4 attempts and failed on all of them.

So, while I did improve my performance on the bulk of the workout, I still came up short of my previous score. In this one, those muscle ups are incredibly important as a lot of people can do the workout but have never done a muscle up. Others, like me will fail. Getting 1 muscle up can move you up the leaderboard 1000 places, easy. Not today

We finished with 10 minutes of Gratitude which is a great way to start a MONDAY.

Go get it!
