Lunch at BarCode with Bruce. I got my usual Filet Tips in Pasta. Good stuff. His girls (Remy and Joanna) are only two years apart so lots of good perspective on the kids getting older.

We went to watch the new Star Trek movie today. Pretty good. I don’t get as upset when they make changes as some of the more traditional Trekkies. While we were there Peggy got a picture in front of the setup for Epic. She wants to go with Emily.

HICT SAMPLE PROGRAM

The following is an example of a 12-station HICT program. All exercises can be done with body weight and implements easily acquired in almost any setting (e.g., home, office, hotel room, etc.). The exercise order allows for a total body exercise to significantly increase the heart rate while the lower, upper, and core exercises function to maintain the increased heart rate while developing strength.

Exercises are performed for 30 seconds, with 10 seconds of transition time between bouts. Total time for the entire circuit workout is approximately 7 minutes. The circuit can be repeated 2 to 3 times.
