MEDICINE BALL



Another piece of new equipment for the backyard dojo: a ten-pound medicine ball. The plan is to increase the amount of strength training and conditioning I do each week.

This morning, I went and worked out on the outdoor "gym" equipment at a nearby city park. It's mostly resistance-type weight training machines that use your own body's weight against its muscles. Which meant that I felt every throw and catch and movement of that medicine ball tonight, especially in my pectorals.

MARTY



Working out with my homemade bag (Marty) in the backyard dojo tonight. I'm enjoying these dusk workouts.

The bonus is the buzz of dragonflies as they swarm overhead, hunting mosquitoes.

TESSEN



Someone (not me) was practicing Tessen-jutsu (art of the iron (war) fan) in the backyard dojo. So I had to try the fans, too.
