6 reps of 10 at 230 lbs on the seated leg press kicked my ass the most, but the abduction/adduction showed me that my pulled muscles are gone so I can get back to C25k training! Our 5k is a month away! |
I got a good workout in this morning.

Still restricted but I did 30 minuets of Yoga a walk for another 30 25 pushup and 40 crunches some light lifting in the basement hope that the DR will ok a return to the Gym on Wed
:moonstars::police: |
6" of snow, I had help.
|
30 min Stair Master, 55/65 intervals
1 combined hour of abs, weight lifting, leg weights, back strengthening, and yoga |
I hit the treadmill last night for 40 minutes at a good brisk pace.
About to get up and get moving for today: more treadmill and some standing inclined pushups! |
finally able to walk again after fracturing a heel spur.. still need to have surgery but at least I can start walking around the building at work again. Looking forward to getting back to the gym.
|
I woke up at 7:20 and looked out the window and saw a steady stream of snow so I said "No!" and went back to bed.
Fast forward to now after two additional wake ups, I am officially up and about. I will do some chores (dusting and vacuuming and maybe scrub the bathroom too) and then some stretches and exercises from my PT training. I woke up the last time with a kinky back so there will also be a lot of lumbar stretching and, once it's all said and done and I've showered, maybe a cold compress. Then I will engage my mind in a creative mental workout and do some crafting. All body toning today! |
I got 18,000+ steps yesterday walking around the Auto Show, so I'm counting that as my "workout" for the day.
I usually use Sunday as a relax/recovery day. I decided tomorrow I am going to start my own 90 day challenge. My goals for the challenge are: 1. Lose 20 lbs. 2. Decrease my mile run time. 3. Improve the number of push-ups and sit-ups I can do it 1 minute. I plan on bench marking tomorrow so I can track my progress over the 90 days. |
I admit I have been seriously slacking on exercising. Tomorrow I WILL go to the gym for 1 hour Zumba.
|
Today I am dry cleaning all the area rugs which entails. . .
Beat all the deep dirt and dog fur out of them by hanging on a clothes line and hitting them with what looks like the love child of a Louisiana Slugger and a kitchen whisk. Generally by the time I am done I feel like my arms weigh 8,000 pounds are going to leave me forever. Then lug them back into the house and brush in the dry cleaning powder with a broom. After it works it's dry cleaning mojo I will vacuum out the magic powder and voila rugs are clean and I am well worked out for my core and upper body. I beat the rugs about once a month and dry clean twice a year, SO much more fun than the gym. |
I no longer run or jump rope for the exercise or that fabulous runner's high. It's all about staying warm now. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...pse32e7125.png

I put on my headphones and raged around the neighborhood to 70s Funk.

Talk about your exercise experience today
I have been slowly making my way back to the gym. I miss working out and feeling good. Life has been challenging and by days end the last thing I want to do is go work out....not anymore.
I feel great when I work out regularly. I love how I look :-) cause I see results. I feel Sexy, cause lord knows I haven't felt that in years. One day at a time :) |

yay |
Really did not feel like going to the gym today. It was a long day, and I was tired. But I forced myself to go.
I'm glad I went. Didn't stay too long, only about a half hour, but I ran a mile and did some body weight exercises. |
Had a good night at the gym tonight. Did legs and then some cardio. It feels good and I feel like some things are starting to get easier.
|
4 sets of 15 at 130 lbs. leg abduction
4 sets of 15 at 130 lbs. leg adduction 2 sets of 20 at 70 lbs. leg curls 4 sets of 15 at 210 lbs. seated leg presses (much prefer pushing the plate out vs. pushing my seat up) 2 sets of 20 at 70 lbs. glutes - could of done more but the position itself feels awkward and bores me 15 minutes on the Arc Trainer, 15 incline and 10 resistance - by far my favorite! |
Good morning, exercisers!
I made it to the gym, albeit a bit late, but I got there! E21, random program, level 5 Stats: 404 cal, 3.14 mi, 45:00 min I intended to work out longer but I kept remembering things I needed to do before dark today so I up and at 'em'd. |
I hit the gym early today in an effort to get all my errands done and be back, warm and cozy, before the snow started. I was almost successful.
E20, random program, level 5 Stats: 407 cal, 3.29 mi, 45:00 min B6, random program, level 5 Stats: 186 cal, 7.15 mi, 30:00 min |
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 |
Quote:
Sounds like a good routine you've got there. |
Quote:
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. |
30 Minuets of beginner Yoga with Bob Harper 3 sets of squats with 50 lbs 3 sets of over head lifts with 50 lbs 30 crunches an 20 push ups followed by a 7 mile hike up in Niagara Falls :sunglass:

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! |
