When you have a wife that loves to cook and clients that send you food, you can really do this COVID thing in style. .murray6 thank you so much for the beer and burgers and thank you for these amazing cuts of antelope and moose.

#40240 Day 32: Had some fun this morning at the tennis courts with Nicole. Then spent the rest of the morning doing home renos. Not fun!! However made it back to the club and didn’t really nasty Rower / Wall Combo.
10 Rounds of
200 metre Row
10 Wall Balls
#40240 Day 25: Hit the courts again with the Glencoe men’s league badminton guys. Had some big points on the line, so a good warm-up was in order. This tubing series in one of my favourite methods for keeping my shoulders healthy. I played pretty well but was just too solid today. He was also my camera guy
#40240 Day 23: No weights today, just good old fashioned stairs. Must admit my legs didn’t have much spring in them after my burpees yesterday. Curse you
Glencoe Stairs: Double Step x 6 sets
#40240 Day 20: Wasn’t feeling very well today. Really struggled with finding the motivation to workout, so I decided to start with one big full body movement and then see how much energy I had to do more. There was no more energy, so I literally did 4 sets of clean and jerks then went home. Not a great day but I still got something done.
Clean + Jerk:
4 sets x 3 reps
#40240 Day 20: Happy Thanksgiving. Hit the tennis court today with my bud Alex Pang. I lost but got a good run around, which was a good thing because about 2hrs later I consumed about 3000 calories. Turkey, mash potatoes, Clare Clinckett’s cheesy spinach. It’s a good thing I still have another 20 days to go, so I’ll have time to burn it off @ The Glencoe Club
#40240 Day 17: My workout today was my favourite sport. Hit the courts today with the Glencoe men’s league guys. Always finish covered in sweat, but I never notice how hard I’m working because I’m having so much fun.
#40240 Day 16: Sitting on my butt here after an hour of . Had a last minute cancellation, so I was able to slip into and Gene Kelly’s Cardio tennis at noon. Got a great workout and had tons of fun. Need to find a way to fit this into a more regular part of my schedule. My hammies are letting me know their not happy with me at the moment, but I had fun so I’ll ignore them for today. Tomorrow maybe a different story.
#40240 Day 12: Really out of the comfort zone today. I am and always have been an aquaphobe. Indoors isn’t too bad but I am a terrible swimmer. Managed about 20 minutes until my legs starting cramping. Not very efficient, but I got a great workout. is probably loving this.
#40240 Day 11: Kept it simple today. Got on the rower. Wanted to see how far I could go in 20 minutes. Didn’t set any records. Hoping to get over 5k next time. Typically I don’t Row more than 500 m at a time so although I didn’t destroy myself it still took me outside my comfort zone.
#40240 Day 6: Trying this again. IG took down the video yesterday because of the music playing in the background. Hopefully this one works. Played around with manipulating tempo through some upper body movements.

#40240 Day 3: When it’s bloody cold out and all you want to do is lie on the couch but you started this thing where you’ve committed to working out a whole bunch. 20 minute run along the river. It sucked but it’s felt good to get the blood pumping.
#7wayhips courtesy of @ryanjflaherty from the #timferrissshow. Keep your hips healthy and strong, reduce injury potential and improve #performance. Try performing this sequence twice a week. Starting with 10 reps per exercise and gradually increasing as finishing the sequence becomes easier. #performance #injuryprevention #prehab #kneepain #stronghips #running #yycfitness #strength
Trying to bust through a plateau on my bench with some #occillatingbenchpress. The movement of the #kettlebells attached by the strength band forces the stabilizers to work a lot harder. This improves your control of the bar during the lowering and lifting of the bar in a traditional #benchpress. #strength #yycfitness #performance #powerlifting
100th instagram post, #100burpees. At least that was the goal. My phone cut out at 74. Guess I'll have to do it again. Probably won't happen right away. The 74 hurt pretty bad. At least the time lapse looked pretty cool #yycfitness #burpees #conditioning #workhard #fitness #calisthenics
A little strongman, plyometric combo. There is a technique to lifting a tire and a certain level of strength required but if you feel your up this give it a try. 10 flips + 10 jumps, rest 30 seconds. 3 - 5 sets. #strongmantraining #plyometrics #strength #tireflips #yycfitness #performance #glencoe #biosteel #drinkthepink
The archer push-up. Healthy shoulders are a must for this one but if you're game, prepare to have your pecs, shoulders and core lit up. #archerpushup #bodyweighttraining #strength #yycfitness #performance
These two exercises utilize a seated position on a box to ensure that force is created without the assistance of a pre-loading movement. By taking off from a single leg, high levels of force must be created to get off the ground. #performance #strength #bodyweighttraining #singlegstrength
With the nice weather arriving more people are going to be hitting the pavement and going for runs. The single leg step down is a simple exercise to help prevent #patellartendonitis and keep you off the shelf. By strengthening the #vmo, the tear drop shaped muscle just above the knee on the inside of the thigh the structural balance of the knee joint is improved, and therefore reducing the likelihood of injury. Find a box or platform about 6 inches of the ground and step down off the side. Do your best to not allow the knee to collapse inward. Try doing the exercise at least twice a week for 2 - 3 sets and keep the reps high, 15+. #injuryprevention #singlelegstepdown #performance #running #patellafemoralsyndrome #yycfitness
Today's #metabolicmonday uses an opposing ladder sequence. Here we combine three different components or exercises, the rowing machine, #wallballs and #burpees. The rowing machine starts with a higher volume of work while the wall balls and burpees start with a lower volume of work. As you perform each subsequent round of this sequence the amount of rowing work decreases while the amount of work applied to the wall balls and burpees increases. Limited equipment, minimal space required, but pretty nasty once you get into the meat of it. #metaboliconditioning #circuittraining #performance #yycfitness #metcon
Someday I'm hoping I won't need special effects to stay up there. End of the #summergoals2017 #sidelever #humanfuse to #humanflag #strength #bodyweighttraining
Today's #fusefriday is a quick but challenging #kettlebell complex. The goal is to complete all the reps of each exercise on one side of the body in a continuous sequence before doing the other side. It should be stated that as great as kettlebell exercises are, there is a bit of a learning curve. Therefore it's best to master exercises individually before building them into complexes. Today's sequence is a single arm Kettlebell snatch x 3 reps followed immediately by a windmill for 3 reps then finishing with 3 Turkish Get-Ups. Try to keep the transitions between exercises as short as possible. #kettlebells #turkishgetup #fitness #strength #performance
One of the toughest lower body exercises and you can bring it with you anywhere. The #pistolsquat challenges your #strength, #balance and #flexibility all in one movement. Mine could definitely use some work but that's ok, because if training is about anything, it's about trying to be better than we were yesterday #bodyweightworkout #fitness
