20130729 Beach Workout Improvisation

Spent most of Monday at the beach once the rain had passed. Late in the afternoon I didn't want to go back up to the house to retrieve my "T-Bar Kettlebell" and dumbbell for a workout. So, I filled a large kid's sand bucket with sand and used it for my workout.

1. Turkish Get Ups

• Weak ( left ) Side x 5 x full large sand bucket

2. One Arm Sand Bucket Swings
• Right  x 20 x full large sand bucket
• Left  x 20 x full large sand bucket
• Right  x 20 x full large sand bucket
• Left  x 20 x full large sand bucket
• Right  x 10 x full large sand bucket
• Left  x 10 x full large sand bucket

That was the entire workout. Keep in mind though that this was after a day of ocean swimming and playing on the beach. I could feel the one arm swings in some different areas of my back but I didn't hurt anything. I have no idea how long this workout took but I didn't take inordinately long breaks.

The sand bucket left my left arm in particular bruised and sore where the lip of the bucket was pressing on my forearm.

Spent almost the entire day yesterday, Tuesday 20130730, on the beach or in the ocean. Spent many hours swimming, floating, wading and battling the breakers. I also did a couple of reps of Bretzel 1.0 and 2.0. A little bit later today I'll get my workout on with my weights.
