10/31 Mexico
Treadmill 20 mins
push-ups and various sit-ups
then I grabbed the 50lb dumbells for a few exercises of roughly 2 sets and 5-10 reps of each
2x incline curls
2x seated overhead presses
2x seated one-arm rows
2x bent-over rows
2x alternating dumbell bench press
Some rope cable press-downs and curls along with cable crossovers and reverse cable crossovers (delts)
various yoga poses including a bunch of inversions
another 20+ mins on the treadmill
The +1 had a 12 miler today, so I did my best to hang out while she busted out the treadmill time. The hotel gym requires shoes for working out, so I had to do all my yoga and treadmill time in shoes, which really sucks. Yoga pose alignment is crucial and it starts in the feet. When your feet are sliding around in a pair of shoes, it's nearly impossible to line everything up correctly. The treadmill was just as bad, as they would go numb in the first 10 minutes. I didn't do any pull-ups and my forearms already feel a little better today. I don't think we are going to workout again before heading to the airport, but you never know...

Finding Snorkland
10/30 snorkeling in mexico
The +1 is not for snorkel, so I went with eight other people in our wedding party. This was my first time snorkeling ever. My main concern was not getting sick on the boat ride to the reef. Lucky me, the boat ride was less than 10 minutes. I had a bit of anxiety when we got there, as I've never used a snorkel before, but it turned out to be a ton of fun. Once I figured out how to defog my goggles by periodically taking them off and dunking them in the ocean; I had a great time. We saw lots of fish schools, barracuda and conchs. The reef was beautiful and I got a pretty good workout for about an hour.

Day Late and a Peso Short
10/29 mexico
10 mins on treadmill (I think)
push-ups and handstand push-ups
various sit-ups and v-ups and side-ups
yoga
pull-ups
I didn't get in much of a workout on the 29th, as I wanted to do the "rifle shooting" activity. After I walked up and down the beach to find out where they were shooting rifles, This turned out to be more of a "two kids shooting a BB gun" activity. I skipped it and headed back to the hotel gym. I keep doing pull-ups, even though my forearms and hands are having serious issues from all the lifting I did before leaving town.

Finding Eduardo Sanchez
10/28 mexico
10 minutes warm-up walk on treadmill around 6-8km/h
5 cycles of:
10 pushups
10 abs (v-ups, bicycle, side-ups, crunch etc)
10 pull-ups
lunges from one end of workout room to the other and back
I did this cycle 5 times and finished with around 5-10 minutes on the treadmill at the same 6-8km/h pace and some basic yoga poses to stretch. I hope this loosens my back and neck up. I've been feeling under the weather since we arrived at the hotel. I think the combination of air and land transport motion sickness plus heat and sun have taken their toll. I just hope I don't have any food related issues while south of the border.
