As we are sharing our other passions other than working out. I love to bake. Not super masculine but whatever!
Eating seasonally I baked 2 rhubarb tarts for my family we had one for dessert today. It was great and so simple.
My life has been pretty consumed with study over the last few months allowing little time for much else buy my pastimes include cycling and working on bikes, love reading, I do quite a lot of hanging out and playing music (I play in a hardcore band) also working on an indie band currently.

So we all know that we are interested in fitness, but that’s not all we do. I want to know what you do in your free time outside the gym. I am currently building a 1982 Jeep CJ8 and putting a diesel engine in it. Somedays I almost consider it a workout.
So let’s hear it, what do you guys/girls do besides pursue a healthier life?
I haven’t done a conditioning bout in a long time. Unlike marks weather mine is is rainy and reminds me of England. Our gym is closed so I worked out at home. I did as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes of body weight squats(10 reps) and hand release pushups (10 reps). If I broke 100 I would switch to 20 reps each. Like I said I underestimated the squat and my conditioning so I did the first 70 reps with my 45lb dog on my shoulders. I managed to do 140 squats and 131 pushups. I have myself a 3 minute break and did 50 more (dog weighted) squats and 50 body weight squats. Then I knocked out 100 normal pushups. My lungs don’t hurt which is good but my muscles got fatigued faster than I thought. Guess I’ll start my conditioning back up again.
P.S. working out at home is great. I can workout in just my underwear and vans and nobody cares! Haha.

I just wanted to share with you my workout that I did today on my patio in the sun.
With a 16kg Kettlebell.
10 Double handed swing
10 Clean and Presses (each side)
20 Overhead Squats (10 held left, 10 held right hand)
10 Snatches (each side)
10 Press ups on the handles of 2 KB’s
10 renegade rows (on each side)
I went through this 4 times only resting between each round for 1 minute
As a finisher I did windmills with a 12kg overhead and 16kg from the floor and went 10 reps each side for 2 rounds.
I’m gonna be feeling this one tomorrow.

I’m submitting my final tonight for my nutrition certification and I’m starting these two certifications tomorrow. Personal training is an ever evolving field to learn in and I love it. Always hungering for more.
