It's not much, but it is a start for the home gym. Since I lost all my gym equipment in the fire, it had to happen because living so far away from a gym is terrible. So I am starting small as it is cost effective and will start getting bigger and better equipment as time goes on. Goals to have dumbbells up to 45lbs by August. And hopefully a bench as well. But for now I got yoga gear and light weights and a pullup system. Wish me luck! #gym #homegym #dumbbells #yoga #thightoner #kettlebell #gymlife #fitnesslife #fit4life #itsastart #Hashtag #SimmyDizzle #yogamat #yogablock #tensionbands #bands #fitnessbands #yogaball #ballislife @fit.healthy.dad has a better set.

Big arms. Yeah baby! Can't wait to hit the gym again. Being in this hotel is really cutting my gainz time down. Things will balance out in a week and then I'll pretty much live in the gym. #Fact #Gym #SimmyDizzle #SatelLite #PostHouseFireProblems #BigArms #Gainz #Hashtag #StripedShirt #Beard #Bald #DamnSexy #ForTheLolz via Instagram http://ift.tt/29f7Gdy

Post run #selfie. Man its warm out but it was great. Happy to be #running again. As per always used my @runtastic app to track my run. It wasn't nearly as long as I hoped it would be or nearly as fast. But that's what happens when you dont actually run for a few months. You lose something. All I've done for the past 4 months is lift heavy add weights. And I love it way more than running. But I need cardio. So I'm going to start hitting these runs more often. Weights in the morning. Cardio in the afternoon. Seems like a good balance to me. Oh yeah. Listened to the #Slayer album #ReignInBlood probably the single best album to run to. It helps with the pace for 5km in 30 minutes. Which is my goal to get back to. #ShutUpAndGotoTheGym #JogAwayTheFat #Cardio #TrackApp #FitnessLife #SimmyDizzle #NoFilter #Hashtag #SmallTown #WayTooHot #Drenched #NoRunningPartner #HardToKeepPace #HellYeahBaby via Instagram http://ift.tt/28LWpBo

After a month of bad dieting my gut really shows. Guess this is the evidence I need to stop eating pizza everytime work supplies it. Which has been a lot lately. Back onto the regular diet tomorrow. Gotta kill that stomach again. With that said. Pressing 90's just became a thing. I feel like I could do 95s but I don't want to press my luck too much. Next chest day I'll go for 95s and hopefully I'll be a little slimmer. Sheesh my side profile looks terrible when laying down. #Gym #Fitness #WeightTraining #SimmyDizzle #ironaddict #IronBorn #gymharderthanme #getrekt #gymstyle #illbesoretomorrow #Hashtag #GoingHam #ChestPress #ChestDay #LotsOfWeight #LiftingHeavy #LiftAllTheThings #AloneInTheGym

I was supposed to be working back today but I ended up working arms instead. Just wasn't feeling #BackDay. But I was feeling arms. So #ArmDay it is! I love my #gym 3 specially when its an empty one. Which it was today. Gotta love it. Got a great pump on. #SimmyDizzle pushed his limits with 5 exercises. 5 sets per exercise. Rep out on each set. This pushed my limits for sure. #Fitness is a lifestyle though and u am late to discover that. In my 30s and I am trying to undo the last 8 years of neglect. 60lbs overweight still. Although I've already lost 60lbs. It's time to change my training and push harder again and crush out those last 60lbs. Been almost 6 months maitaining the #WeightLoss so now it's time to start losing again. It's still my set. #ISYMFS. #IronBorn #IronAddict #GymTime #Selfie #GymSelfie #gymharderthanme Let's do this! Follow my #FitnessJourney and see where I go and how I get there. I'm tired of being put down so it's time to rise up, #LiftHeavy and crush the doubters! via Instagram http://ift.tt/1pV2fWq

#SimmyDizzle training. So yeah. My form is a lot better now I feel. Still room for improvement but it's coming along, I'll step it up to a higher weight next time and focus on keeping my form at that weight. I feel pretty confident at this weight now for my form. #Gym #Fitness #WeightTraining #Deadlifts #BackDay #LiftAllTheThings #AlwaysTraining #AlwaysImproving #loveit #FitnessJourney #IronBorn #IronAddict #GymTime #GymVideoSelfie

#BackDay so obviously it's flex day too. Not sure why but I always choose to do a flex day on backday. The #gym is empty just the way #SimmyDizzle likes it. SimmyDizzle being me of course. Lol. Feel good today though. Focusing on form instead of weight. Trying to get my deadlifts on point. It's a work in progress so I'm sticking low weight but high rep. Maintaining form. It's what people criticize the most about my lifting is my #deadlifts. So I'm working on it. In the meantime. 17" Biceps are still a thing. As seen by the picture. #WeightLoss #WeightTraining #Fitness #FitLife #IronBorn #IronAddict #ISYMFS #FlexTime #Feelgood #Thursday #LiftAllTheThings #BigSexyBackDay #Yup via Instagram http://ift.tt/1o7Yg7F

#Fitness - A Blogging Change

Absense from the blog

Table of Contents

Where have I Been

Well I'm sure nobody has been wondering as I am not exactly popular, but in case anyone out there is following my blog, where have I been, why haven't I been posting things. Well, heres the answer. I'm still here, I just haven't been making blog posts, which is why I started a new IFTTT setup. It will take my Instagram posts (both videos and photos) and make what I am calling MicroBlogs.

What the hell is a MicroBlog

A MicroBlog is simply a blog derived from my Instagram, as I always post photos and videos to my Instagram, its not a lazy work around, but it will at least post some content here in between my main blog posts. I have some beautiful and fun posts that I am working on coming up. Some very interesting posts about the things I have learned, the mistakes I have made, and what-not. So the MicroBlogs are just some basic filler so you can see that I am quite literally still around.

Sorry if the MicroBlogs look bad

I understand that the MicroBlogs aren't going to be polished and beautiful, well rounded or interlink to other articles I have posted. And that I may re-use the photos used in those microblogs later on in other blog posts I do. This isn't a cop out, it is simply a fact. But you honestly didn't come here to look at the photos did you? Nah, you came here to get a piece of my knowledge and to follow my weight loss journey.

Thats all Folks

Thats it for this post, sorry I don't have anything more to post right now, but more IS coming, I promise you, and you can all expect some serious content in the near future.

3 plate is heavy. Been a while since I did it so I didn't go as deep as I should of by a long shot. I was hoping for better. Maybe next time. #LegDay #Squats #3Plate #Gym #Fitness #WeightTraining #ISYMFS #ironaddict #IronBorn #GymTime #SimmyDizzle

It's #ShoulderDay in the #gym today. And I'm killing it. My Biceps though got a crazy good pump from the shoulder presses. Not sure why I figured my triceps would be feeling it but it's my Biceps. Either way I feel awesome. Love this feeling. I wish gym time wouldn't end. But alas I have to go back to work eventually. #Fitness #WeightTraining #LiftingHeavy #LiftAllTheThings #GymTime #GymSelfie #Selfie #SimmyDizzle #blog #pump #biceps #notarmday #real #wreckingit #booyah!

#Fitness - The Stair Machine #CardioMode

Whats this new fancy thing

Table of Contents

Stair Machine

My work recently added this new fancy stair machine to our work gym. It has directly influenced and changed the way I proceed about my gym life and activities. Before I avoided the dreaded word Cardio, but now I am more focused on it than ever. With the stair machine I find I get an amazing workout before I even get to my weight training.

How Long

I focus on doing the maximum amount of time the machine lets me go for, it does 30 minutes before entering into the 5 minute cooldown phase. This has been an amazing choice as my warm up before I get into the core part of my workout, which is the weight training.

Intensity

The intensity I use (or speed) for the stair climbing is incremental. Every minute that goes by I increase the level by 1 until it gets too fast for me, this usually happens around the 11-12 minute mark. Then I start lowering the intensity down but on the way down I never go below 5 and from there I will go up and down in intensity until my 35 minutes is done.

Cardio it up

For those whom know my mantra of the gym its that Cardio Sucks and Kills my Gains. And anyone reading this can call me on it, but for me if I train straight cardio I find that my muscles get wrecked by it quickly. I would rather work with the weights than ever touch cardio. But this machine is changing my view on that. The benefits of the stair machine is great and whatever musclemass I would lose from cardio I know I'll gain back or prevent loss of during my next phase of my normal gym routine, which is my weight training.

Killing it

Lately since this machine entered my life I have been killing it, the cardio that is. Which I never do, I gave up running a while back because of the pain in my knee's it caused. I find the stair machine quite a different entity, my knee's don't hurt from doing it, so I am encouraged by that to keep at it. And as a result I'm burning a lot of calories and enjoying every minute I get on that machine.

What about the Weights

Well if you know me, or read my blog you know that I ain't giving up the weights, I love lifting, pulling, dragging, curling and pretty much anything else that has todo with weight training, they ain't leaving my life anytime soon. In fact I May just kick it up a notch now especially if this cardio helps me lose some fat, which I am still struggling with, but thats another story for another blog post.
