I'm 32 myself so no spring chicken!

What you're doing is so much harder! But as Matt said, maybe it's the flexability piece that is cropping up for you.<br /><br />Anyway, my Brute Force bag arrived today and within 16 minutes I was a sweating hot mess. It's truly an awesome tool. <br /><br />I did swings, clean/press, squats, lunge with bag on each shoulers, squat jumps, burpees with push up and more. 16 minutes of that intensity (1 minute for each exercise, no rest, 16 repeats) and i was d-o-n-e. <br /><br />will have to try the TGU's, and windmills would seem especially challenging. i've done those with kettlebells and the bag seems like it would be much harder to stabilize up top (for obviously reasons).<br /><br />what fun! i'm glad to have a blog to "talk" about this stuff with, most people think i'm crazy. lol. (i'm 36 years old, but just have a deep need to be physical. i've always been this way, it ain't changing. :)<br /><br />keep on it!<br />JoAnneJoAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00081732413210287324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063139967437272835.post-52009040057178120102011-09-01T17:25:18.129+01:002011-09-01T17:25:18.129+01:00Made a homemade Bulgie Bag with an inner tube and ...Made a homemade Bulgie Bag with an inner tube and 42 lbs of gravel. I walk a flat mile with it everyday, and two days a week I do a killer hill and then 75 two handed swings. The rubber is kewl because you can feel it stretching do to the centrifugal force during the swings. I love it, gonna try some of your ideas.

These are all great exercises to have as a break from the more regular workouts that I post. The Windmill has done great things for my flexibility and core strength.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04458344656094165691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063139967437272835.post-5141699858623038312011-08-31T23:07:26.590+01:002011-08-31T23:07:26.590+01:00Matt - just did some of these moves with a 25kg ba...Matt - just did some of these moves with a 25kg bag. Good stuff. Sometimes I do TGUs with a sandbag over my shoulder, but this is the first time I've done them overhead. After I was done, it felt like I'd been through a tough yoga workout, oddly. I'll definitely be doing more of these.Jon B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063139967437272835.post-71630033304300663992011-08-29T20:41:34.058+01:002011-08-29T20:41:34.058+01:00Hey Jon, hope you have fun with it!Hey Jon, hope you have fun with it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04458344656094165691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063139967437272835.post-31377964537233146752011-08-29T17:22:52.560+01:002011-08-29T17:22:52.560+01:0035kg TGU?
