Some single-leg strength

I got this message from a lovely young lady the other day:

“In my lame attempt to evangelize the out/shape over-weight masses – I am trying to find more members for Urban Athlete. I have already bombarded all of my address book with invitations to visit Urban Athlete, I am now forced to make new friends at the pool so that I can “mine” some new potential Urban Athletes.

Normally I spend most of my “pool” time swimming endless laps or hiding behind a book in the shade, unfortunately most of the people who are around the pool during the day are overweight moms who still think “walking” on the treadmill qualifies as a workout and don’t want to “lift heavy weights” in fear they might get “big”.

As if watching their upper arms sway in the breeze while they bake in the sun, smoking, and sitting in their beach chairs for hours – is a better look.

I may not be bikini ready put at least my bellybutton doesn’t get lost in fold of fat when I am sitting down (which is never these days!)”

Anyone want to take a guess at who wrote this?

Here’s today’s workout:

• 1A) Bulgarian Split-squat 5 x 8R/8L
• 1B) Dips 5 x 8
• 2A) Kettlebell Deadlift 5 x 5R/5L
• 2B) DB See-saw press 5 x 5R/5L
• 3A) Stability Ball Push-ups (hands-on) 4 x 8
• 3B) Hanging Knee Raise 4 x 15

   Now wait…baking on the beach while smoking and, preferably, enjoying a fine beverage, is way under rated.
