Study Break

Have you ever studied so much you felt that you couldn't absorb any new information? I can't even remember what I ate for breakfast...wait, did I even have breaky?
That's how I feel RIGHT NOW.

I graduated a little over a year ago and thought my studying days were over. A few short months after I graduated, I challenged the NSCA CSCS exam and passed. Now I really thought my days of hitting the books were all said and done.

A few months ago I accepted a job with CN Rail. It was totally outside of my wheelhouse, but with being recently married and the potential to start a family soon, I jumped at it. I feel like a money whore but I couldn't turn down the pay, pension, family benefits, vacation, along with other incentives.
Right now I'm studying like a mad man for the Canadian Rail Operators Rules finals after an intense seven week training course to become a Conductor.

 I truly miss the gym, the people and just the day to day interaction with my clients and athletes. That is why I felt compelled to start this blog. It's my way to stay in the fitness world in some capacity.

So, aside from cramming, these are the two workouts I got in this weekend.

I will go over my goals and deeper into my programming when I'm done writing seven hours worth of finals this week.

Needed my Conditioning to be under 15 mins. Short and intense to get a good sweat, burn in the lungs, and tax the legs.

5 sets Fox Drive stairs with 25 lbs weight vest. (1 set = 200+ stairs)

That did the trick!

Back to the books...
