More frequent updates still to come!

My new year's resolutuion for 2011 (among other things!) is to begin updating my blog posts on a more frequent basis.
I am sure some of you are wondering what Kirk's doing now in the gym?
I am back to mostly bodyweight workouts. Honestly, I love training with bodyweight-only calithenics. Besides, they're still the standard of our beloved US Military, Hoo-Yah! I personally know a former Navy SEAL who is built like a "brick shit-house" and he uses high intensity bodyweight training exclusively. In fact, an interesting story.... A few members of his sniping team were in Bosnia during the conflict there in the late-eighties. They were cooped up for weeks in a "CIA safehouse" and had to perform ends sets and reps of bodyweight exercises to stay in tip-top shape as they were not able to leave the confines of that safe place, no running, swimming, etc. He said they did daily workouts encompassing hundreds of pushups, handstand pushups, lunges, etc. Thought you might enjoy this story. EVERYONE loves a good story involving Special Ops, especially the mighty SEALS!

Anyway, my normal resistance routine lasts 20 minutes, followed by 15-20 minutes of stationary bicycle. This is performed at least 5 days per week and I average 6 days per week.
Today's workout (Thursday, Dec 23rd):
Handstand Pushups: 8 repetitions ...immediately followed by:
Wide Grip Pullups: 8 repetitions...immediately followed by:
Hindu Squats: 50 repetitions...rest 60 seconds and repeat, a total of 4 sets!
Stationary Bike: ladder UP and then DOWN for a total of 20 minutes

Are Aging Men Still Interested In Sex?

Perhaps the findings of a recent study may be surprising to some and yet not shocking at all to others. If you are a male, you may feel relieved by the news or perhaps this just confirms what you have believed all along.

In life's later years, men are still very interested in intimate love making. While many want to block the thought of people their grandparents age being intimate, it is happening - and really, why shouldn't it be? This is exciting news for the aging male population!

While numerous men and women alike may feel uneasy bringing their sexual health up at the physician's office, its one important aspect of a relationship that should not be neglected simply because we grow older.

In fact, it should be discussed more freely between patient and physician. Furthermore, according to the study's findings, many aging men would like to be engaging in sex with their partners even more often. Perhaps with better patient-physician communication, this would be a possibility for a larger percentage of men.
