Mixing IT UP!

Getting too set in your ways? Mix it up!

Get away from the bodybuilding sets and the Back/Bi days and try some crossfit style routines

Keep Moving

try 5 sets of:

20 pull ups

30 pushups

40 situps

50 squats

Keep moving, cut the reps down or the number of sets if your just starting out, the idea is to keep moving. SWEAT!

Wearing a Vest

Everyone knows you should wear a vest, we have heard it millions of times. Still everyday I see deputies exposed to the public, not wearing body armour.

I wonder if those that choose not to wear body armour understand how it effects others around them? I would be willing to bet, they don't. Think about this, if you respond to a call to assist me in searching a house and your not wearing a vest, then you have effectively put me at risk.

Wear your vest, it's not just for you and your family, it's for me.

Tracking Your Workout with Your IPhone

A lot of people like to use a journal to guide and record workouts. I have always liked the idea of this, but I just don't have it in me to carry a book and pen and write everything I do down. I do, however, have my iphone plugged into my head for music, not to mention it keeps most people from interupting your workout. If you want to look even more busy, you could use an app to record your workouts and much much more.

I have been using Gym Buddy, $2.99 last check, on my IPhone to record and track all kind of personal information about my gym efforts. There are several programs out there and once you get use to recording your sets and reps it comes natural. Some people find that it can help with motivation, "got to fill out my log", and if you miss a workout looking at that empty square on the calander can provide another form of motivation. One interesting bit of information that I like to look at is the total amount of weight lifted durning a session. I was shocked to see numbers over 27500 lbs for a chest tri workout and 55000 lbs for a leg routine. Check it out, it might be what you need to spark some new interest and get to see actual progress.
