Workout Check-In Thread

Chest/upper back superset, 20 min elliptical.

you're beating me. i'm still at 2 circuits. and my workout today came later than usual.

remember my reps are real low . . . i may not be ahead . . . :blink:

Done

I trust one day . . I won't hate planks so much. . .

I did mine about an hour late today, but I keep forgetting to post in this thread until I catch it updating. I'm really bad about that.

easier today. at this pace, i might try 3 circuits onmonday.

Ugh...legs.

Superset each group, increasing weight as reps decrease and vice versa. Sets are separated by the "/"

Barbell Squat - 50/40/30/20/10
Barbell Calf-Raise - 40/30/20/10/10

Leg Press - 10/20/30/40/50
Calf Press - 10/10/20/30/40

This pretty much describes my walk home from the gym...

Seeing posts in this topic every day has motivated me to stop lazing it around... been to the gym today with the (almost) husband and now feeling a lot better.

Four+ more miles last night, with more to come here shortly.

First run in a week, having been a bit sick. It was a tough run but I managed to keep up with the programme I'm following.

I almost didn't work-out today . . . Shoulder hurts . . . is it the planks?
I realized not doing the whole work out was not the best idea . . At first I thought I would skip the plank for the day . .
Then I got better idea . . modify it . .
I stood up and pulled the stomach and glutes in. This gave the shoulder a break for the day.
Iced it quite a few times also. Owies are not going to take me off track!

Worked out-Checked in-Done!

Did the workout yesterday.

I discovered that I had my arms in the wrong place for the planks. I don't hate them now.

i forgot to check in yesterday. that frustrates me. i did the work, but i forgot to post here. my memory sucks.

checking in again.

Checking in.

Dumbbell Incline Press - 50/40/30/20/10
Bent-over Dumbbell Lat Row - 50/40/30/20/10

Dumbbell Flat Press - 10/20/30/40/50
Bent-over Dumbbell Trap Row - 10/20/30/40/50

Biceps, triceps, deltoids and 15 min on elliptical. 8 min tanning bed cuz I. Was too pale.

Ok so I've got no idea whether i will actually keep up with this... The story so far:

34 years old
180cm
61kgs
Couch potato.

I'm tall and skinny which leads people to mistake me for a healthy person. Nothing could be further from the truth. I haven't played an active sport since I was about 14. Last year my wife and I agreed to complete the City to Bay fun run (6km). We trained for a couple of months and in the end we both nailed it. That was in September but, sadly, that was the last day I've been for a jog! So I'm guessing I've lost any aerobic fitness from that adventure. Time to start a new one!

The hazy plan is to alternate days, running on even days and doing strength stuff on the odds. I'd love to put on another 10kg of rock solid muscle (haha) so I guess that's my goal... Get fit and maybe get a bit heavier.

I have seriously weighed 60kgs since I was about 17 I reckon... That's half my life now!!!

4.5km run (two weeks till 8.2km run with the girls. am under prepared but not too fussed)
30min of faffing with 10kg kettle bell. am going to be very sore tomorrow

My schedule changed . . so my Monday Wednesday Friday NF is now Tuesday Thursday Saturday.

For today done!

Changed my (poor) form, so 2 circuits is killing me more than it did. But I'm still kickin'.
