This past weekend was spent at my in laws cabin. We were getting the fire wood supply ready for hunting season. My father in law, brother in law and I had the task of chopping down a few trees, transporting the felled logs up to the cabin, then chopping them into pieces to fit into the woods stove. We all took turns doing every part of the tasks, however my brother in law and I were primarily responsible for the transport and then chopping. When all the pieces were moved up to the cabin, my bro in law and I would take turns chopping the wood. This was a great workout. First, picking up the logs in 32 inch sections was a great back and leg workout. I moved approx 20 pieces at about 100lbs a piece. My brother did most of the chopping, but I definitly feel it in my back and shoulders today.
I am pleasently surprised that I have been able to maintain a mind set of health and fitness. I try to turn regular activities into fitness. I try to challenge myself in a lot more areas than I have before. I am taking the stairs instead of the elevator, I take the long way. I have been trying to do a hundred pushups throughout the day. So far so good.
Tonight we begin the 16 day workout again. I'm excited to compare it with the last time we did it. I feel good. As we continue...
