It happens to everybody. I ate terribly on Sunday. Bacon, scrambled eggs with cheese, pancakes, Taco Bell, sausage - not to mention the Bourbon. Oh well, what are you gonna do? You have to blow it out every once in a while to truly appreciate all of the times you behave, right? Anyway, I punished myself with Monday's workout as a penance for my poor dietary practices.

Push Press x 6/Depth Drop x 6/Drop Step Chop w/ JC Band x 10 each side = 4 sets

Barbell Squat Press (135) x 8/JC Band Sweeps (fast) x 20 = 3 sets

KB (35) Single Leg Squats x 6 each/Hand Stand Push-ups x 10/Tubing Torso Twists (fast) x 10 each side = 3 sets

DB Hammer Curls w/ DB Push-ups workdown set - 50 to 30, 10 reps each every 5

30 sec shuttles/30 sec rest x 3 sets

Purification through PAIN!!!

I have been a little absent on the website for a while and that's because I recently had my gall bladder removed. If you don't know the gall bladder stores the bile produced by your liver, and you need the bile to help break down the fat in your diet. It all started as just a little heartburn and gradually developed into severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomitting, diarhea, fever, chills - FUN!!! Anyway, one laproscopic procedure later and the troubled organ is gone. The problem is that I cannot exercise for a few weeks and I can't lift for about a month. I'll make due but the stationary bike tends to get really old really quick. But, we do what we must to survive. It's good to be back, talk to you soon.

Stay Fit!

We are diligently working to bring you a new and improved website under a new name. We are taking a lot of pictures, getting new graphics and links created, and shooting new video --- it shouldn't be long now.

I just posted a new workout on the fitness page under the workout of the week. It's a 2 x 20 workout and it is suprisingly tough. Give it a try!

The summer is almost over ......(a moment of silence please). This past weekend illustrates why September is one of my favorite months. Mid 70's, no humidity, clear blue skies, warm ocean waters - you could not have asked for a more perfect weekend. There is still some time to take advantage of living at the beach for some great workouts. Try this workout my buddy Steve Letourneau and I threw together Sunday morning, we affectionately refer to this as 40th street shenanigans:

Bike from Croatan to 40th street. Push-ups w/feet on a bench x 20, inverted rows while hanging from the railing x 20, bench dips x 20, knee ups from railing x 20, 3 x 80 yard sprints in the soft-sand. Complete for three sets. Bike back to Croatan.

Before you know it the weather is going to suck, enjoy the outdoors while you can.

Peace Out. Stay Fit!

Chris
