For a while now, I haven't had a gym membership, so I've been focusing primarily on my outdoor activities like hiking (and more recently running) for fitness. But now it's time to get back to it. To keep myself accountable I will be logging my exercise here on my blog. My goal is to exercise every day, which should include at least four days a week of the following routine, which is what I did tonight. It only took about 30 minutes, including breaks. I've logged it here in the order in which I completed each set:
Time: 7 p.m.
Place: Bedroom
Equipment: 8-pound medicine ball, full length mirror and a soft surface (in this case, a rug)
Exercises*:
Medball Big Circles - 12 in each direction
Medball Woodchopper - 20 (click the link for sample video)

*For instructions on the medicine ball exercises, check out the Men's Health Ultimate Medicine Ball Workout (a.k.a. The Tar Heels Workout). I only do four of the 10 exercises listed as part of this workout on a regular basis, but my goal is to work up to doing more. When I first started working out a year and a half ago I was doing the first six on a regular basis.
