    Went geocaching on foot again today. I still have a few very nice areas near my home for hiking. This time mostly open sand dunes and bits of forest. My planning today turned out to be rather poor for once. I'd expected to walk about 18km, but had walked so many detours that I was at 20km when I gave up and caught a bus instead of walking the remaining 5km to the station to get home. Not sure how warm it was, but when I gave up, at 17:00 it was still 28C. My water supply certainly wasn't sufficient today. Fortunately I found an open shop where I bought a cool drink, and then rang the doorbell at a random house to ask for some garden water. No other workouts :D

    Hi everyone.. I'm new here and just wanted to jump in. I'm having the most difficult time with working out under the quarantine but I signed up for Beachbody the other day and did the fit test and day one today. I may go for a walk later... we shall see :) Hope all is well.

    Finished off my garage gym last weekend when my outstanding stuff finally arrived which is giving me a lot more options...

    Today was back day...

    Started with my standard 5 minute warm up - gentle jogging on the spot, then throwing in high knees, jumps, dips, twists, etc to get me started

    Then today’s back routine:

    Weighted pull-ups (3 sets)
    Pause deadlifts (3 sets up to 10 reps - would recommend these as a good alternative to standard deadlifts)
    TRX Aligators - (2 Sets 20 reps)
    TRX lateral openers (not the correct name...2 sets, 3x3reps moving through 3 different back positions to work upper, mid & lower back)
    Supaset: (2 sets) Upper back bench supports dumbbell underhand grip rows & resistance band high rows
    Supaset: (2 sets) lower back bench supported dumbbell underhand grip rows & resistance band floor rows).

    Finished off with two rounds of HIIT circuits, each circuit consisting of 5 exercises but sparing the legs a bit as I’ll run tomorrow. The cycle being 40 seconds exercise, 20 seconds jog on spot, 20 seconds rest. Today’s exercises as follows:

    Punchbag (punches)
    Decline bench crunches
    Punbag (roundhouse kicks)
    Pull-up bar windscreen wipers
    Tuck jumps

    Thank you :-) - I love it to the point that I think I’ll leave the gyms alone for at least a year once they reopen

    I'm jealous of all the weights. Put my cardio equipment together with your weights and it would be one heck of a gym! I have an Assault Bike, C2 Rower and a LateralX elliptical machine.

    5 mile run - which felt like I was carrying a small family on my back after they’d eaten a very indulgent meal

    Another slower row this morning -- 12.1K meters in an hour. 2:29 pace/19 or 20 SPM. All HR under 75% Max and most under 70%. Average was 69% of Max, so this was well controlled. Didn't sleep great. My dog is sick and there was a brush fire up the mountain last night, so I don't think I slept sound.

    Taking him to the vet today. Hopefully just allergies or sinus issues, because his nose has an irritation inside. I worry all the time about cancer. Lost my last dog a few years ago to it (bone cancer). Vets are doing curbside appointments here where they take them in and look at them and call you and then you pick them back up at the curb.

    4.5 mile run. Didn’t get great sleep last night so all I want to do now is lay on the couch and binge Netflix the rest of the day lol

    Lower body sets and abs. Honestly totally overdid it and was kinda sitting around before I got it together and went for a couple walks. I’m finding it really hard to gauge my own fatigue for at home workouts.

    Sat 5/23

    This was a crazy day. 2 blown tubes and one wipe-out on the 2nd tube, but I survived and did 25 vigorous miles on the mountain bike trails. I need FOOD and SLEEP!
