I ended up talking to a woman named Tay in the locker room, and she talked my head off, so it was a little much. She was mainly describing a local farmer's market to me, a fine topic, but it went on and on.

On the weight floor, I tried something new: the medicine ball. It was cool. I am always happy when I have the courage to try something new.

Exercisers and readers, thank you for being my community. It means a lot to me.

Peace out

I love the medicine ball! I'm glad you found it. It can be super fun to play with and you can use it a ton of ways.

Here's a link showing a bunch of different types of exercises to use with it, from basic to crazy advanced. My favorites are a tie between the ab work I do with them (or did, should I say since it's been a while) and using it a slam ball. Gets the aggression of life out!

Lately, I've not seen the inside of a gym but I've logged a ton of hours shoveling heavy, wet snow so my core and back and shoulders are still getting worked out regularly.
