Wednesay
I still have't Christmas shopped, will I be able to log that as cardio?
Cardio: None other than 100 trips back and forth to the garage, as well as up and down the stairs. My wife is in full bore Christmas mode, so I have to feed the decorations quick!
Strength: Short on time, so knocked out a bunch of various push ups, dips, and other body weight stuff for about a half hour. Zero rest time, transitioned from one to the next and varied muscle groups to avoid quick burn out.
Assessment: Still varying from slight loss to maintenance on my intake, but enjoying the freedom to do so. Intend to nail down more specific goals after the holidays and restrict the diet more.
@Wildflower0071 - I was speaking of my military time. I took it for granted until after the fact, but though it was often forced, we got a lot of exercise in on the clock. Great gyms all over the places I traveled, and lacking that we made gyms. I've lifted with sandbags in the desert, and tossed ice blocks in the arctic. And no matter where we were, we always had plenty of gear. Cross country skiing with a 60-70 lb load will find some new muscle groups.

Ha! Thanks. By easy, I mean a "slowish" pace...a training run. It's hard not to push myself all the time, but I've learned the importance of saving hard for speed days, and keeping easy days slow (though it never feels that easy).
Happy Weekend, folks!
Saturday: Cardio: 3 mile run. Cut things short because of ankle discomfort. Officially retired that pair of shoes, which should've happened a few runs ago.
Sunday: Cardio: 6 mile run with a friend. Her "long run", easy paced. Helping her build up her endurance, as she wants to run a 10K race and do her first half later next year. We're going to start running together on Sundays.
Food: Xmas party, but within maintenance numbers.0 -
Happy weekend!
@Wildflower0071 wow sounds like you crushed that workout way to go!
@brandiuntz bet it'll be fun to run with your friend, something to look forward to.
Strength today:
Barbell strict shoulder press 6 x 3 @ 65 lbs. (note: this was what I was attempting on Friday but couldn't do it & managed to crush it today, felt good
Barbell front squat @ 125 lbs 6 x 3
Shoulder width grip pull-ups 6 x 1 EMOTM for power
2 sets of skipping 3 mins & 2 point plank 30 sec/side0 -
Just checking in to say Hi and Happy Holidays! Spent the last two days under the weather with a bit of an intestinal bug but I'm feeling much better this afternoon and our plans to catch a ride on Southwest tomorrow afternoon for Colorado have not been derailed. Normally I would have gone to the gym this morning.............but I'm just not going to worry about it......LOL
I'll be getting some walking/hiking and maybe a little gym workout in while I'm there so will check in with those numbers next week but I'm just not going to bother logging for the week. I need the break and I've managed to maintain since Thanksgiving so I think I'll be fine no matter how many tempting treats are around.
Hope you all have a wonderful week and enjoy time with family and friends!!!
Keep rockin' those workouts!!!0 -
@luluinca Glad you are still up for the trip, I know how much you have been looking forward to it!
@ltworide Great day, and I missed the opportunity to welcome you to the mix. I'm fairly new to this little group myself, so wasn't sure if you were "new" or returning.
@ninerbuff I never even realized that your offer of free professional level advice was part of the deal. It's just a great group, even if you don't count your ladder climbs towards earning a donut! Very cool of you to have that offer attached though, many with experience in your fields wouldn't ever do that.
@brandiuntz I'm not a runner, so your training runs are at a pace I'm not doing! LOL
@Wildflower0071 That fat in the prime roast surely isn't hurting you. Mirrors don't lie!
I liked my HIIT today!
Strength: Some quick circuit style upper body, muscle retention level. Dips, conventional push ups, push ups elevated feet 1 foot, push ups feet elevated 2 feet, approx 4x25 of each.
Cardo: Did a true to the best of my calculations Tabata HIIT routine on the elliptical. Taxing in a way I wasn't expecting, hard but not where I had predicted. Cooled down and let my heart rate settle some, then did some more cardio at estimated 80-85% of VO2max.
Hope everyone else had a great weekend. We are shifting into holiday mode, short busy week and then some break time. I'll be conscious of my workout and health goals when I eat my holiday ham and pies!0 -
Here's mine from today.
Skip x 100
Deadlift x 10 @ 70 kg
Push up burpee x 10
Shoulder press x 10 @ 20 kg
Ab roller x 10
I performed the above 10 times and followed this with 25 minutes on the cross trainer.0 -
Hey gang,
