While I've selected the titles to my blog posts at the outset of The 15th Expedition, appropriately, this title also applies to my fitness regimen!

After some light tests, I'm going to go ahead and green light my workout for Friday morning, a workout that will definitely open up with stretching!

Vlog #5 is available! (UPDATE: Link retired!) I'm hanging out in my backyard, which takes on a whole different meaning outside the confines of surburbia. My beard just might be vaulting me to Duck Dynasty status.

I just made a purchase of black & red Sanabul training gloves. While I really like my MMA gloves, they are far too lightweight for my bag training. I basically get 1 or 2 training sessions out of them before my knuckles are wrecked for the week, so I decided to go with 16 oz Sanabul so that I can have better workouts. Don't get me wrong—it hasn't been all bad: my elbow striking game is KILLER!

While I'm not emphasizing resistance training, I really want to amp up my striking. There's something about functional fitness that I find irresistible, and why my time on an elliptical is just...weird. I get my treadmill because if I could ever visit a place with with a level ground without a hole in the ground caused by some varmint or stick or two, I suspect a treadmill might mimic it.
