Over the past few months, workout partner Michael and I have settled into something of a routine. We usually work out at least 4 mornings per week. One day we focus on abs and light upper body work. One day we hit the upper body combined with sprints and two days we focus on arms, shoulders and the upper body. More recently, we have added leg work into the routine as well.

Over the past few months, my workout partner, Michael, and I have integrated kettlebell exercises into out morning workouts. We turn to the kettlebells at least three times a week – usually on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. Both Michael and I play in an over 30 basketball league that schedules games on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings. I generally skip the morning workout on Wednesdays and our Thursday routine tends to be more focused on stretching and cardio as opposed to heavy lifting.
