London Leg Day

Today I woke up in London. Early. Excited. It's going to be a fun weekend.It started with an hour of quality writing. I'm very happy with what I produced. I can use that piece for several purposes.Then it was on to meditation with the sunrise over the city. And then up to the gym on the 52nd floor. It's not a bad place to do intervals...if that was today's workout...but it wasn't...instead:1A)

Honey of a breakfast and workout

Wow. Another amazing start to the day here in Istanbul. Just wait till you see what I had for breakfast. It was the healthiest, most delicious cheat day meal I've ever had.

Last Day in Lithuania

It's a been a low-volume exercise weekend. I've just done a couple of 4-minute workouts (including yesterday's BlackSmith Camp graduation punisher challenge). Today was an extended old-man warm-up.

Hot Bodyweight Bootcamp Workouts in Vilnius at BlackSmithCamp

Wow. Just got in from a sweaty BlackSmithCamp.com bodyweight bootcamp workout. It's 95 degrees (34 Celcius) here in Vilnius today. That's nearly 25 degrees (farenheit) above normal for August.
