Gut Busters: The Three T's

This week I'll talk about my exercise regimen, which has somehow become based on the letter T. Guess that's fitting, as I graduated from the University of Tennessee, home of that gaudy, big orange T (even trademarked). I've included a pic of one aspect of my workout routine-- my computer. Two of my T's include Tai Chi (as seen in the pic), and Tae Bo. I digitized an old Goldhil Qigong Tai Chi video, which is really a nice warm up. The kids were certainly entertained, at least. Although, when we really get into it, the Tae Bo video is great. It's the cardio version, and does a good job of strengthening my core (logically). The kids really like that one, as Billy Blanks does a great job of encouraging you throughout.

When there isn't time for those, or I just wanna get my heart going (with a little "me" time), I use the third T: treadmill. I am proud to say that, last year, we bought a very decent Pro-Form treadmill, and got the extended warranty to cover the thing. I'm even more pleased to note it hasn't gathered dust! Because my wife has been using it. And now that I'm on it, it's getting even more use.
