Monday, GameOn Week 2
Week one of the GameOn started out with a bang and I finished with a whimper, Thank God I have excellent teammates. At one point during the week I was down 8 pounds and finished the week down a total of 3 pounds. Still no chew or soda and I am very pleased with that, [...]
Words Escape Me
Ah Tuesday Olympic lifting. I can not believe how much I’ve come to enjoy the Olympic lifting classes. I have never really enjoyed lifting weights, therefore I’ve never really done it on a consistent basis. I have to give the credit to my instructors, they really break it down and stress the fundamentals, I’m even [...]
Back At It
Monday was the first day of the Lifestyle change game. Participation is voluntary, we broke up into teams of 4 and make positive change in our lives. Like most things at Joust I really enjoy the camaraderie and “belonging” to something. With the game there is a lot of logging, keeping track, ciphering [...]
First Week of New Year
This was a fun workout, please don’t confuse fun with easy. We broke up into teams of 4 to do the 25 minute AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible within the time frame) main set, the whole workout was kettlebells, not my favorite but that is one of my goals–to get out of my [...]
Getting Back in the Swing
Back in the swing of things. I knew getting back after taking a break over the holidays was going to be difficult, I just didn’t expect it to be this bad. JenN, the writer of evil workouts, started the week out on Monday with this incredibly difficult set which included and exercise called [...]
Welcome 2010
The Holidays have come and gone and like so many others I fell victim to the many festivities and now it’s time to get back to business. I had a very wacky schedule the last 2 weeks and was fortunate to get in as many Joust workouts as I did and was able to [...]
Tuesday 12/29 & Wednesday 12/30
Tuesday and I’m working off, and will be for some time, all the holiday treats and it is taking it’s toll, I’m spent.
Tuesday I warmed up at the recreation center for 35 minutes on the NuStep, these warm up sessions really help me when it comes time for the hardcore workout. Instructor M [...]
Post Christmas Pain
Last Sunday I had set the goal of going to the recreation center for some cardio and head over to the gym for the Olympic lifting class, that plan fell through, so I gave it a shot this week. Made it to the rec. center and was able to get 35 minutes on the NuStep [...]
‘Tis The Season
What a busy week, Christmas has come and gone and now time to get back to business. I have recognized that I can go no longer than two days without a workout. Anything longer and I start to get irritable, anxious and generally “out of whack”. Having missed Christmas Eve and Christmas, [...]
Wednesday Kettle Bells–AARRRGGGHHHH
Once again due to my personal scheduling conflicts I attended the noon session on Wednesday. I quickly became reacquainted with Melissa, along with JenN she is co-owner of Joust Strength and Fitness, as they say time heals old wounds, I guess I’ve forgotten how brutal Melissa’s workouts are, considering it’s been some time since [...]
