Today I just wanna CRAWL in bed.

[Denninmi]

My PT made me run the entire parking lot last night, for almost the whole hour. I had to drop and give him 10 push-ups and 10 sit-ups at every tree island. And carry an 18 lb medicine ball and give him 20 ball slams at the end of every other row of parking spots.

I hurt today, but it's a good kind of hurt. The kid is positively evil, but I love him, he has helped me more than I can say.

1. That does hurt.

It is nice to have a personal trainer.

I may have to invest in one, one day.

[Denninmi]

5. So worth it.

Been one of the best things I have ever done for myself.

[Goalie49009]

2. 20 ball slams?

I bet your trainer is hurting as well.......

[Denninmi]

6. Good.

I certainly hope so!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. My dear Denninmi!

You stinker, you scared me!



Good for your PT! You will be in good shape, and that's a wonderful thing...



Hang in there, sweetie!

[Denninmi]

4. I'm in a much better mood.

My swimming instructor last night also,thought I made a lot of progress.

For the record, my dear, I am a stinker.

7. 20 ball slams...sounds sexual.

[Denninmi]

11. Uh, no.

Mind outta gutter.

[Wait Wut]

8. wtf.

You damn near gave me a heart attack.

Go to your room.

Glad you're happy that you're in pain. I'm a little bit happy you are, too.

10. DITTO, Wait!!!

[Denninmi]

12. I am naughty.

Which means I'm in a good mood.

Here, I'll punish myself for you.

9. Den, that was MEAN

(of YOU, the headline! Was feeling OK, heading to the river feeling OK about a couple things I'd read, and then THAT!)

Well, your PT would be merciless on me! Will have to carry stuff from car to cottage, OH MY!!!

[Denninmi]

13. I'm sorry.

Hope I didn't really upset you, I was just being the frustrated comedian I am.

[elleng]

21. Was FINE, Den,

as soon as I read the entire post. Thank goodness for your comedian-self!

[GoCubsGo]

14. Wow!!

I am impressed! He sure has you whipped into shape! Give yourself a pat on the back for me when the hurt goes away.

[Denninmi]

15. Thanks, I'm really getting there.

My upper body strength still needs work, as does core stabilization. But a lot of progress for sure. The single most exciting goal for 2014 is triathlon. Imagine me doing that - the guy who was so out of shape 14 months ago he could barely walk a mile? Pretty proud of that. I'm a beast!

16. Happy for your progress

Rough workout!

[Bertha Venation]

17. You scared the bejesus outta me, D.

What's a ball slam?

[Denninmi]

18. You know what, I changed that title.

In hindsight, it was kinda over the top. I was just trying to be your basic Lounge wise ass.

Anyway, a ball slam is where you take a medicine ball, press it over your head, do a tricep extension with it to the center of your upper back, then bring it up and slam it down on the pavement as hard as you can, then do a squat and catch it when it rebounds up. It's actually not all that difficult even with an 18 lb medicine ball. The kid always picks out the one with the least bounce so I have to squat lower, wise ass mofo that he is.

[Bertha Venation]

19. Jesus christ!!

I can't even LOOK at a medicine ball!

If you can do that, well . . . you win the internets.

20. I'm exhausted reading that.

I might have to take a nap just reading about that workout.

You ARE a beast! I'm super impressed.
