My absolute favorite place for cardio interval training is my local rail trail in Eastern Dutchess County, New York.

It’s along the now defunct Conrail line. I bike, hike and run here. It’s so peaceful and tranquil all my stress and worries just evaporate. I see critters such as wild turkey, deer and a variety of woodland birds. There are bear in “them thar hills”, but I have yet to see one - a good thing I guess. In these trying times, it’s nice to know I can quickly escape to somewhere peaceful to get back to the basics.

I do all sorts of body weight training exercises here, including wind sprints,  jumping jacks, mountain climbers, off trail hill walking and more. Here are some pictures from my sunrise training sessions:

Over the last 2 days I’ve spent some quality time updating my six pack abs lens over at Squidoo. There is lots of good content there now. I’ll probably do some more updating this week as well.

Well, that’s all for today. Now I’m ready for some football !!

If anyone’s interested, I just posted a Squidoo lens about how to get ripped washboard abs like a fitness model.  In the lens you’ll find how to tips for burning the most fat, some of my favorite abs exercise workouts and most importantly, some of my own personal abs nutrition secrets.

 How To Sculpt Ripped Washboard Abs

You don’t have to fear growing old when you are in great mental and physical shape. Today I turned 43 and I feel like a young 30-something. My abs are ripped. My muscles are as big and full as they’ve ever been. And I feel great!

In a few minutes I’m going to do a little exercise, a morning walk and run with some intervals thrown in to burn some fat. It’s beautiful outside today, warm and sunny with bluebird skies. It feels great to be alive!

I’m in a good mood so I may just throw up another fitness muscle building video post on YouTube today.

Volim23 contacted me with this follow up question:

“Thank you very much what kind of foods should i be eating after a workout like this?”

Answer:

Eat 5-6 smaller meals a day with protein. Eat within 2-3 hours of waking. Try to eat a meal or snack every 2-3 hours throughout your day. This will increase your metabolism greatly. In school it’s a little difficult to eat every 2-3 hrs.

Save one of your snacks for pre-workout (15 min to 60 min before) and have another snack (with protein and simple sugar like juice)immediately or within 15 mins afterward.

The 2 snacks pre and post workout are very important as is eating evry 2-3 hours.
