The twelve tasks of Hercules!

I am going to share an overall body workout to do at home with some basic equipment. It was developed for a great friend and brother from another mother, this herculean workout is split into 3 for 3 separate sessions and is designed to be high intensity for weight loss and strength conditioning.

Here it is,
The twelve tasks of Hercules.
WORKOUT 1
1. Push ups 25. ANY WAY YOU CAN (low option on knees, just get them 25!)
2. 2 min fast jog 3 min slower jog (treadmill or around the block )
3. 25 dumbell/kettle bell shoulder press
4. 25 dumbell/kettle bell bicep curls
REPEAT X4
WORKOUT 2
5. Plank till failure
6. Burpees 12 (Low option, no final legs throw out)
7. 25 Lat pull down (machine or 10 chin ups  )
8. 25 chest fly (machine or on bench)
REPEAT X4

Don't know an exercise? Google it or ask me!

Get up off the couch or spend that last 30-40 minutes after or before work getting one of these bad boys knocked out and you too may become...Hercules!

Homeless...but home

Where am I at, at the moment?
Slipped a home gym session in yesterday and ended up deadlifting for numbers.

LOVED IT!!

What I have come to realize over the last few weeks is that taking myself out to the gym and leaving my wife and boys at home is selfish. Not because I'm doing something for me, but because I'm taking myself away from being able to give my family support when things change all of a sudden (even when you think you have a couple of hours between feeds, they change the game plan!)

So I have decided that, rather than stop altogether, I would initiate something I had been planning for a few years.
Setting up a better home gym. This makes me accessible immediately if things change on the home front.

The next thing to do was cancel my gym membership.
I feel homeless now...BUT it will only be temporary. How temporary I don't know for sure, but I will invest my usual gym membership into more gear for the home set up.

It is a sad day, but exciting at the same time.

Bring on the next new challenges for the future of my fitness!!!
