Limited time between meetings today. Started with goblet squats for higher reps than normal. These got hard, I liked the fatigue/burn in my quads. Did hanging knee raises with these. Next were seated good mornings and planks. Next were split squats and crunches. Split squats felt good at the 8" height, I'll probably stay here for a while and try to keep reducing the height. I finished up with hinge squats also at 8", my highest yet. These were hard for 20 reps so I'll not push higher for a while as I see how my knees react, but goal is to get this higher while split squats get lower.

A little about my journey...

Hi, my name is Kip. On July 24th, 2011 I made a decision to change my life. At the time I weighed 250 pounds, was sedentary, my blood pressure was 170/110 and I was already on a max dose of BP medication to control it. I was well on my way to turning 40 and having a heart attack. This blog is about what I’m currently doing to improve my health and my journey to get my life and health back under control to get to where I am 9 months after starting (Apr 2012) - which is 170 lean pounds, no blood pressure meds and a new outlook on life.

I decided to start this blog for 2 reasons. First, it's a record where I can look back to see what’s working and what isn’t so I can make improvements. Second, a lot of people have asked me what I've done to transform my body, so hopefully it can help someone else glean some helpful information they can incorporate into their lives to make positive impactful changes. So, here it is. Since I'm just starting this blog 9 months in, I'll post a few blogs to recap in more detail where I was and how I got here. Going forward I'll be posting workouts and training/diet/nutrition information I think others can benefit from. I didn’t re-invent the wheel, so I’ll be referencing materials I use along the way. Below there's a picture taken shortly after a body fat test in May 2013.
