Got up this morning and went right to the gym I find I do much better if I go in the mornings must be the Amy in me lol.. So I did 5 sets of squats with 90 pounds, 4 sets of seated rows at 75 pounds 4 sets abdominal crunches at 40 lb, 3 sets leg press at 175 l other leg machines 3 sets at 90 lb shoulder press 3 sets at 50, biceps and triceps curls 3 sets at 40 lb butterfly 3 sets at 55 and the hip abductor and the other one lol 3 sets a 90 back extension 2 sets at 100. Finished with the treadmill running at a 9 incline 5 speed for 10 mins then the elliptical level 4 for 20mins.. Not to bad for my first time back in a couple weeks doc said I am not to lift over 100 and I actually behaved :|

Today I got my first outdoor walk in 2 weeks. I've been doing an insane amount of walking around, but indoors doesn't crack it for me.
Today was much needed. :cheesy: |
I can't 'cause I don't but maybe I will one day.
|
Skipped the gym today. But I did go to a morning yoga class. It's actually a good, relaxing way to start a Monday morning.
Also, lost 4 lbs this last week. Won't complain about that. Back to the gym tomorrow. |
I shoveled.
yay |
Shortly I will be building a 72" long TV stand. Does that count? :|

10 minute wake-up qigong exercises
A bit of cycling around in high wind :| Half hour rola bola |

Sounds like a good routine you've got there. |

To make the workout even harder and add another layer of concentration one can add juggling whilst rolling. Not recommended for beginners though. Just coming back to it after a long lay off I'm not risking adding juggling just yet. Then, to make it really interesting, it's fun to start building the levels up. I've only ever built up static levels (from floor level) and rolled on top of them. Not like you see the guys in the circus who build the levels up on top of a barrel/ball/rolling object. Please don't try rola bola at home without spotters and/or someone who knows what they're doing, the risk of injury is errrm quite high :| |
I hammered ice today.
I got skillz, baby. :blink: |
Today was a light day 30 minuets of Yoga push up and crunches with assistance from the pups ... 3 set of squats in my basement with 40 lbs and overhead lifts 3 sets with the 40lbs and got my steps in so far
|
I have to say...ypga makes me remember that my shoulders exist...in a good way :)
I've also been walking Jacques about a mile...but I.have a nagging leg pain that I probably need to address...its been limiting my hiking/walking because hills and stairs seem to be what triggers it... I'm falling apart y'all!!! The irony is I get this pain AFTER losing 15% of my body weight...seriously... |
Hi fellow exercisers,
LTNS I'm super psyched, my new adjustable dumbbell set and weight bench arrived today! Some-assembly-required on the weight bench but after that I am good to go. |

Kelt, you got me with WBWMY, I have no idea what the means, lol. In case you are asking me what I bought here they are: Universal Five-Position Weight Bench by Nautilus amazon.com/gp/product/B002QJZAE4 PowerBlock 50 Plus Dumbbell Set amazon.com/gp/product/B00NCACZOO These go up to 50 pounds per hand, which is plenty for me at the moment. When I need more weight, I will most likely join a gym. I am starting out with this workout: http://www.muscleandstrength.com/wor...y-workout.html I am also doing at least 30 minutes of cardio a day. With the snow a mile high outside and no machines (which I don't like using anyway), I am basically just running in place, kick boxing, jumping jacks, etc. I also am trying to do about 5-10 minutes of cardio every few hours since I sit at my desk day and night writing. Once the weather is better I will do wind sprints in the back yard and possibly jog around the pond near the house. |
That's 'cause I made it up so you'd have to scratch yer head too!
WBWMY = Welcome Back We Missed You :cheesy: Looks like a great workout that will grow with you, no gym required. There's also an amazing amount of stuff you can do with good old body weight exercises. There are books out to the effect of 'your body is your own gym' and others that show how to modify basic moves that are too hard to do regular so that you can work your way up and beyond. Looks like a good set up. Now you have to do it. :giggle: |

Cue up the Jaws theme song. Yeah, I agree there is plenty you can do with just body weight. The workout I am doing has a bit of that, and I will keep reading and learning ... But most of all, as you say- it's time for me to just do it! |
I made it to the gym this morning and spent some time on the elliptical and the stretch mats.
E21, random program, level 4 447 cal, 3.70 mi, 50:00 min I did about 10 minutes of stretching and PT exercises after that. I felt better when I was done, which is good. I wasn't keen on working out this morning.....my own fault, I ate too much junk last night and just felt blah....but I have to take the nice days when they come especially with the potential for another storm this coming weekend. Bah! |
