did you work out today?

Re: did you work out today?

Good thread. Do me a favor all, i know i am a new guy, but if i do not workout please get on my ass.

My normal workout schedule when i do it anyways is Mon, Wed, Fri.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: jcfd2201</div><div class="ubbcode-body">P90X rest day but I still did X-Stretch....no rest for the fat guy! </div></div>

I do stretch about 3 times a week. a very underrated area of fitness for men in general. especially the macho variety.
 
Re: did you work out today?

I had a half a bottle of wine tonight with the wife....so I followed that up with some 12 oz. curls.

Seriously though, I 'slow-swim' for 30 minutes today and every other day. It's not going fast it's more like treading water but you move to each length of the pool. You do a lot of stroking for not going much of anywhere. Head remains above water at all times. If possible sink to cover the mouth and breathe through the nose.

When I work out on weights, I do a stomach, back/bicep, lat/bicep, chest/tricep chest fly. For legs I do 10 laps kicking only with a glideboard or short presses and low weight ham-curls. I do as many reps as I can in one full minute or a minimum of 50 reps in one set. For the stomach I do 100 reps.

Someone told me once, it's not how much you push at one time but rather how much you push total that determines what shape you are in.
That only makes sense to me now as I think the best shape I was ever in was when I bucked bales for my dad or when I was logging.
 
Re: did you work out today?

Did upper body workout today. Got some new equipment in our gym, and enjoyed the 'new' stuff to do.

Down 30lbs in 3 months. Feeling a helluva lot better, and will hopefully hit my goal weight this summer of 185 (currently at 205lbs).
 
Re: did you work out today?

Not too much today I guess.... just a short 5k followed by 8 sets of squats, 4 sets of leg extensions, 4 sets of hammie curls, and 5 sets of calf raises.
 
Re: did you work out today?

Good thread...I am just finishing the first month of the Insanity workout. I now have some abs showing and I have gained about 2 inched in my chest. I have not really lost a lot of weight but it has moved into muscle. I am 44 years old and I am pushing pretty hard. Right now I am about 6' tall and weight 203 pounds. I feel pretty good but I still need to loose some fat around my belly. Now for the bad news:(

Started having pain in my right knee so I went to the doctor to have it checked. He sent me to have a MRI and it seems I have some damage that needs to be surgically repaired. Torn meniscus (spelling?) and some other very long term. I am still currently doing the work out until surgery next week but I have stopped the high impact portion of the jumping. These workout programs are addictive and once you start seeing the changes...no matter how small...you realize you can still do it even at my age. I still have a few beers with the wife but I do eat simple compared to what I use to. Anyone that thinks you can't get in shape is kidding themselves. What I did learn quickly is to do the work out at your pace...not the video pace with the fittness trainers. Just posting my experience. I hope my knee doesn't take long to heal:(
 
Re: did you work out today?

Last night light cleans and heavy deads. 12 miles this morning. Ran with the 50 pound vest on a few days ago again. Gotta do that in intervals,it's tough.
 
Re: did you work out today?

Cardio day. Ran a mile for time, 10 min on the elliptical, followed by 20 min on the stationary bike.

Been super busy the last couple of weeks & haven't been to the gym. Ive got to get myself motivated again.
 
Re: did you work out today?

15 miles yesterday,5 this morning before work. Insanity interval with the company just now. Heavy dead lifts tonight pending calls probably some cleans too.
 
Re: did you work out today?

8 sets of pushups 25 reps each. 200 total, in 18 minutes. Planing on re-doing this process later tonight as I feel pretty normal right now.

Just posting because I felt proud of my acomplishment

Re: did you work out today?

you could say "yes he did"
Legs, chest, arms, back, that was this early AM on my BodySolid.
Then, oh yeah forgot to take my mirror to see myself, run through 1.5 gals. of mixed gas in 2 chain saws, knocked down, limbed out, and bucked up 23 maples about 14" to 18" at the butt, loaded by hand in 80" sections in my trailer, hauled up with the wheeler and stacked, about 95* out. Drank a small pond full of water, changed my shirt 3 times, and last Thursday was my 65th birthday. Fuck them weights.

Only 1 session on Saturdays.

For time
15-10-5 rep of

Handstand Pushups
24" Box Jumps
135# Thrusters (front squat to overhead press)
Pullups (had to sub burpees left arm still bothering me just a bit)

After the round of 5 reps do an 800m run.

Not a good day for me I didnt do the workout until 3.5hrs
after eating breakfast I had nothing for it.
I usually hit it within a 1.5 of eating. What a huge difference

Plus doing double the amount of burpees (30,20,10 reps) really sucked the life out of me.

Oh well I was the bug on this day.
