I started my journey into kettlebell fitness with Coach Marchman and it has been a great journey, in part, as it has helped me come back stronger than ever. Well, maybe not 50 years ago 'ever' but certainly very strong for a 60+ now almost 72 year old kind of guy. I am going on to something like this: Mon – strength Tues – HIIT Weds – strength Thurs – long cardio Fri – Spartan 300 workout Sat – Strength and long cardio Sun – rest / recover Strength and Honor to all of you!

This morning's workout, unilateral Kb cleans and presses alternating with pullups, regular pullups, rope grip pullups, single rope one hand above the other pullups.

Yesterday, W4 D4 finished in the morning. Yesterday afternoon, 40 solid minutes of 40 and 50# cleans, clean and presses, snatches, burpee snatches with all cleans and snatches starting at dead bottom zero. Today, 3 mile run with bow and arrows, 6 arrows with 2 of them in the 2 inch bullseye at 30 yards, and on the hilltop workout station; 50 swings with 40#'er and many pullups. At random intervals, I upped my running pace to battle mode. The rest of the day I cut and placed tile in our cabin bathroom. Tomorrow, I will knock out W4 D5 in the morning. Keep driving on!

I joined in on the 30 day farmer's carry challenge, only because I like challenges and it seemed hard and it was. Little did I know that doing carries, in addition to my normal workouts, for 30 days would make me stronger. The 30 day swing challenge, seemed insane, so I signed up. In the end, the benefits were unbelievable, I'll say again, unbelievable. This more recent 30 day challenge - it has been just fabulous. After these nearly 90 days of challenges, my fitness is like day and night.

That was this morning. Now, some more snatches, cleans, and pullups!
