People ask us all the time what they should do when they are not coming in for BOOTCAMP or Dainty Boys.

Should I run (blah)?  Maybe go the the “gym” and hit some isolation exercises like curls and calf raises (nooooooooooooo!)

Honestly, you should do something that makes you sweat.  We can get more detailed than that regarding what is optimum for each person’s goals, but it is pretty much that simple for most.

Here is what I did for my “workouts” this weekend:

During a break from cutting, splitting and stacking firewood at my cousin’s Saturday morning.

Finished!!! Sunday afternoon.  Take note of:

1. There is 3 rows stacked OUTSIDE the shed (disregard the last row, we threw in the towel at that point and just tossed em there paying no attention to structural integrity/aesthetics)

2. Look at the sawdust!  It wraps around out of view behind the pile!

He had some of it done beforehand, but we are estimating we ripped through about 5-6 cord Saturday and Sunday.  That was certainly a few calories burnt.

Then it was time for some fun (if you don’t consider performing the above in 90 degree heat fun, that is.)

Unfortunately I left my camera in my black truck that was sitting in direct sun on a 90 degree day.  The first trip we took was waaaay more muddy, but I had no juice to take pictures.

We took a break to grab some water at the top of a really technical climb.

Shorty is pretty new to riding but picking it up quickly.  Jay and I have been riding anything we can get our hands on since we were really little.

This was a rather leisurely ride, but we all got a good workout on this trip.  If you don’t think riding is exercise, grab some safety gear and meet us for a little toot.  I’m willing to bet it doesn’t take long to get a boiling sweat worked up, even in the winter time!

Just for fun, check out the little fuzz ball, I mean Zephyr.

Little guy is really hard to get a good picture of.  I got these 2 good ones after about 5 minutes of trying!

Oh yeah, I almost forget.  Plan to keep September 10th open for the

FIT Fall Festa!
