298

Today’s workout was short and quick. A simple double 100/100 of v-ups, 6-inches of figure 8’s and 6-inches of over unders, rowing v-ups, figure 4’s, and one legged push ups. I always try to get some variation done first thing in the morning so I don’t feel guilty later in the day. Big moving day coming up so I’m just saying that that counts as a workout for all of you out there. Keep on working out!

Day 296

Getting back into a routine here in Hollis~meeting with Jay at the Y @ 6:30~scheduling our Body with Scotty for the “school year” twice a week for an hour @ o’dark 30 in the am is all part of continuing the feelin’ good program I’m involved with right now. Since the triathlon is over, it feels like I’m on a physical vacation. The next race isn’t until the half marathon in Phoenix in mid-January.  Probably not a good mind set to have but somehow as the seasons are changing, the workouts need to change as well to fit the mood.

A good rolling out on the foam roller before a 30 minute stationary bike with my buddy Jay was a great sweat and enough to feel like all the body parts were working together!  Lauren is in Chicago and had the pleasure of running down Lake Shore Drive!  Nothing like a good city run~80 degrees with a slight breeze.

The day had a special happiness of its own as little Alexander Roy Holland was born~another ahtlete in the making!

Here’s to all the families who celebrate the season changes, the births, the day to day victories without their loved ones nearby to hug & share the moment.  I applaude you!

Day 292 and 293

I’m up at Lake Winnipesaukee in NH for the weekend playing a plethora of competitive games between my brother and our friends. Between wiffle ball, raft games, rock climbing, few runs, early morning swims, group ab sessions and even a few single rowers, the bodies will be feeling this next week. Exercise is so much more fun when you have your friends to do it with. Alex and I have managed to get all 25 people here for the weekend to partake in, whatever modified way they can, the 100/100 challenge. Such a great weekend of activities before everyone heads back to the real world and the summer comes to an end. Many current supporters and future supporters of WAO365 here. Crazy to think its been 10 months since the challenge began.

Keep up the good work and know that all of your workouts are not going unnoticed. What this organization has been able to accomplish in less than a year is unbelievable. Keep your eyes open for some exciting events near you in the next few months. We Are One, every day of the year.

Day 272…finally have Internet

Tough to get Internet as Wednesday was our travel day through 4 different airports. However, wasn’t tough to get our workout in. Alex and I went for a walk/hike right around 10 miles, doubled our 100/100 (because of the travel day and compensating for airport food) and then swam for 30 minutes.

I’m excited to go home. I’m wicked excited to start running. Lots of big things happening in the near future. Always taking the time to remember the lives that allow the rest of us to be so fortunate.

Day 269

Another day of biking for Alex and I. We went all over Paris but not while following a tour bus. Today we rented bikes and they were free if you only used them for 30 minutes. After that, you had to pay. So, naturally, Alex and I booked it from one renting station to the next in order to make it within the time frame. Paris is a big city. Don’t think the natives were used to seeing two Americans pedal on dinky little bikes with baskets on the front as fast as the scooters and buses.

So that combined with our 100/100 was quite the workout. Food thing Sunday is a travel day.

Day 268-biking in Amsterdam

Today my brother and I decided to put a little spin on the normal touristy thing. We wanted to take a tour of Amsterdam but knew we would be frustrated with the speed and amount of people. So we rented bikes and followed the bus around the city acting like we were just going for a bike ride and “overhearing” what the tour guide was saying. Biked around 16 miles on a leisure bike. With the 100/100 set. Definitely a day that will be paid for tomorrow. Keep the workouts going.

Day 264-working off the wine

A gorgeous August day in Tuscany. Alex and I, joining our new friends the Grossmans, had an early start to our day. Lots of cities to see and much more food to eat. But first, need to work off the wine.

20 min on the bike (next to my brother so you know it became a race)

4 sets of 50 abs (leg ups, knee to chest on ball, ball push ups, v-ups)

3×15 dips and bicep curls

3×15 leg press

2×10 Dumbbell snatches

3×10 tricep dips and t-push ups

Probably worked off one of the glasses of wine. Ha!

Keep up the great work. If your finding a hard time to work out, getting a buddy to go with you makes all the difference. Thats what 365 is all about.

Day 263

Sub-ing for Team Friday. Quite an unbelievable group of Americans that my brother and I have been lucky enough to spend some time with during the early part of of euro travels. Really makes you feel proud to be an American and to know that there are a lot of wonderful people that care so much about certain causes especially when it comes to the safety of our own troops and their families.

I went for a 3 mile run on this old dirt road. I was forced to pick my pace up when the deer, wild boars and giant lizard refused to get out of my way.
Alex joined me for a set of 100/100 push ups and sit ups.

If you havnt started it already, I strongly encourage you to. Twice a day, get 100 push ups in and 100 sit ups of any kind. Even if it’s all you do. Starting off at 50/50 is a great Segway.

More from us next Wednesday. (very limited Internet so pictures are tough) Hope everyone’s workouts are going well.

Join the movement. Make the pledge.
We are one every day of the year.

Day 260/261

Things have been a little hectic as many members of the 365 team have been traveling around the globe. Nevertheless, we have not been slacking on the workouts. Team Tuesday first. 100 push ups. 4 sets of 50 different ab sets. Then 50 more t-push ups. Tiring during it but very happy afterwards.

Day 261: Team Wednesday
3 mile run with the new found love for 100/100 afterwards. 100 push ups and 100 sit ups. Keeping toned up during this off season.
