Workout With Phil
Phil has wanted to workout with me for a couple of months now. Today, we finally got around to it. We hit the gym, where Phil became acquainted with the bosu, the dynadisc, the stability ball and a few muscle groups he hadn’t used in a while.
Here is our workout:
Dynadisc crunches, 2 sets - 15 reps
Dynadisc modified bicycle crunch, 2 sets - 12 reps each side
Forward/Backward lunges onto a bosu, 2 sets - 10 each side
Double bosu pushups - 2 sets - 10-15 reps
Single squat with 1 arm db shoulder press, 2 sets - 10 each side
Back Extensions on stability ball, 2 sets- 15 reps
Lateral flexion on stability ball, 2 sets 10 reps each side
Hopefully, Phil will comeback and workout with me again. He whined a little, but not much more than any client the first time out.

The fact that you have to qualify, only fueled my competitive juices.
Over the next 9 years I ran 6 more marathons. I love running so much that I became a

[...] I did a “strength training” session with Lisa today. I call it that loosely, because it didn’t look anything like Mark and I do when we lift together. She made me do a bunch of stuff I usually call dead bug exercises. They all required me to isolate my core, and I couldn’t rely on my meat and potatoe muscle groups - which for me are usually my neck and big ass (hey don’t laugh, I’ve benched 300 using those muscle groups). Instead of big barbells and 45 pound plates, we used foreign objects that I have since heard are called the bosu, the dynadisc, and the stability ball. Fortunately no there weren’t that many people in the gym to see me struggle with the 15 pound dumbbell she had me using at one point. I did have a sympathetic women next to me who can testify that Lisa was torturing me at various points in the workout. [...]
