After the very long walk on Saturday I thought I would be an in a bad way. As it turns out I am more resilient than I thought. I wasn't even sore.
I went for a walk today, I am not sure how far but I walked for about an hour and felt good. Whoo hoo leg muscles, keep up the good work |
I did an hour on the treadmill at 4mph uphill incline, starting the incline at 12 and then going down by 3 every 15 minutes. I live for the cool down at the end :)

Here's the bad part.

4 hrs straight of cleaning at work.. .up and down stairs....lost count!
Then about a 4 mile hike...up and down hills... |
Good morning, exercisers.
E21, random program, level 5 Stats: 267 cal, 2.08 mi, 30:00 min Nothing too exciting to tell. My gym has a new system so I just flash my card and the computer logs me in now. I guess they were missing too many customers as they played online and/or on their phones. Or else they are getting lazier and don't even want to type the name and customer number in anymore. |

Today....another 4 hr house and an abbreviated walk after. I apparently twisted my ankle a bit while hiking yesterday...oops :( |
Today I sort of doubled up since tomorrow will be a day off.
Elliptical at cardio HR/137 for 30 mins Switched to recumbent bike for fat burn HR/111 45 mins afterwards as a cool down do more kind of thing. There was guy two bikes over that changed my mind about what you can do on a recumbent bike. He was doing wicked HIIT for an hour to the point where he had to get off for a quick minute at about his 45 min mark so that he could pull the whole friggin bike back into place. Yeah, heavy commercial bike, non-skid rubber/composite floor and he was going at it so hard it had crept it back about 2 1/2 feet until it was up against the elliptical behind him. :blink: I had to ask, and he was really friendly, was he training for a distance cycle event? (Loads of cyclists here) or a triathlon or what? Nope. Wildfire fighter. He isn't into any sports per se but has to train that hard for work, which I totally believe. I asked about his method and he just sets it on level 10 and then does intervals of 1 minute at a time of 100 rpms with his slower sections at 60 rpms, and he did a LOT. All on level 10 just manipulating the speed. I'm thinkin' this might even challenge Gemme. Well Holy Smoky Bears Batman! This guy rocked. :cheesy: |

I think you mean Jennifer. She's the marathoner on level 10. Reading all of that made me yawn. I'm tired just thinking about it! lol That *is* amazing. Makes me feel like your area is well protected. |
'mornin', all.
B6, random program, level 5 Stats: 179 cal, 6.67 mi, 30:00 min PT later today and a lot of manual labor in between. I'll be good and tired for bed tonight. |
Todays update on the weight loss work competition = crappola. :(
I did all the same things this week that I did last week as far as exercising and watching my calories etc but it's that time of the month and so I gained water weight. Two pounds! I'm back to where I started. :( |
It's called fluxuation and it is normal. Don't be discouraged by this. I have found that I don't loose weight, or inches by doing the same routine I used when I started, I have to mix it up and intinsify the workout. Sorry my spell check is not working.
|
Today is all cardio went for a 5.5 mile hike in Green Lakes took a trail that I never had before and the damn thing when straight up hella awesome work out but whew.. The brisk air was awesome and the snow kind of calming. Up to 15000 steps so far and the day is not over.. Tomorrow will be a gym day and strength training and perhaps a take the pups for a walk in Shiller Park (f)

You'll have one great week, one eh week, one great week, one eh week....et cetera. The important thing is that you are doing something to get healthier. If you feel as if you are getting to a plateau, shake things up. The body becomes very accustomed to movement if done repeatedly. Oh and watch your sugar intake. It's in everything from ketchup to soda to spaghetti sauce, et cetera. |

Haven't updated much but it's only because we have been so busy. We have started our gum routine (LOVE that the apartment has a full gym that is open late). So we are doing weights and cardio. It feels really good to be back in a gym and lifting again. Also after the workout the complex has a hot tub so we get to relax our muscles in there before calling it a night.
Hoping to start putting some actual numbers here to share of what I am lifting and what my cardio routine is. |
i love to walk , wish i could run but cant gotta be careful with my legs but some excercise is better then none at all .
|
My easy day has turned in to a very active one .. took the dogs for a walk for a hour then came home and went back out and hiked the park by our house for another hour and a half 13000 steps total so far... and some jogging in there as well.. and 5 sets of (10) squats with 40 lbs 5 sets of overhead presses with 40 lbs and 5 sets of bicep curls whew think I am done :sunglass:

B6, random program, level 5
Stats: 185 cal, 7.04 mi, 30:00 min I didn't feel 100% this morning and I highly suspect it had to do with my nutritionally lackluster and sodium rich dinner the night before. I had PT today and it went well. I need to find a half foam roller for balancing exercises. And I got approval to use my rebounder...my mini trampoline. I haven't had much of a chance to use it since I bought as everything went sideways the week after I got it home. Her advice was 'Don't hurt yourself!' but other than that, she said it would be fine. Yay. Tomorrow's weather is going to be nasty....snow/rain/freezing rain/sleet/etc....so I think I'm going to play at home in the morning and see how it goes later in the day. I'm sleeping in, too. That's a good day, weather be damned. |

Up and at it early today Hit the gym at 8 did the 30 min circuit, then hit my squats 8 sets of 10 with 5 ponds of weight more abdominal crunches and leg press got up to 190 pound and did 3 sets. Finished on the treadmill at a 8 incline speed at 4 and managed to do it for 15 mins.. Later today I am going hiking at Pratts Falls it should be a challenging hike with the snow. I am looking to beat yesterdays steps. There is nothing like Hiking in the brisk cold to get my blood going. Starting to really feel the changes (f)
|
Holy Hike it was awesome and I crushed the steps, I took trails that I had never gone one before in with the snow whew.. made for a hot and sweaty Bard. I went about 6 miles all told or so my step tracker says. I saw a few folks cross county skiing looks awesome but I know me if I tried I would break something so I will stick to my hikes

Gym today:
Started with Treadmill, 1 hour, 4mph, uphill incline, 1st 15 minutes incline of 12 - then decreasing by 3 every 15 minutes (love those "get easier" work-outs) Then Stairmaster, 1 hour, 255 floors, intervals Then upright bike, 1 hour, 11 miles, HR 136, Level 10, random program Then 1 hour of weight lifting, ab exercises, leg weights, and of course the best part: stretching! I had a hard work week and it felt great to spend the day at the gym! |

This weekend has been my slob weekend and the first time I've been able to go two consecutive days without working out for pain management purposes. Not that that is a good thing but it is.
Tomorrow is a new day and I'll hop back on the exercise bandwagon then. Right now, I'm thoroughly enjoying moving without discomfort. |

With the snow storm coming- I'm extra glad I got in so much gym time this weekend! |
Slow day for me but I got my squats in 8 sets of 10 with 50 lbs, Took a hike through the park by our house. At work I went to the indoor track on my beak and did about 3 miles walking and with the 25 pounds of equipment that is on my duty belt it is no joke. according to my step counter I have over 13000 for the day.. Not to shabby I was hoping to get to the gym tomorrow but I have a short turn around for Tuesday so I may not be able to gotta fit sleep in at some point
|
I got a good one in since I won't be able to get to the gym tomorrow. I'll be buried under the same snow as nyc.
E21, random program, level 5 Stats: 277 cal, 2.44 mi, 30:00 min B5, random program, level 5 Stats: 149 cal, 5.58 mi, 25:00 min Today and tonight I'll get in plenty of shoveling and mopping. One of my buildings is leaking and with all of this snow and rain, we're behind the 8 ball with keeping it dry. |
Snowshoes for everyone, heck of a workout!
I've been good, hitting cardio for at least 90 minutes a day. Today is Dr day and I'm not sure what's going to happen so it'll either be an afternoon gym day or a lounge with a movie day. Either way I'm glad the storm will miss me on this side of the continental divide. All you exercisers, no slipping on the ice trying to make it to the gym. It's recovery day. :anothersnowman: |
3 inches down, roughly 35 to go.
I wish I had snowshoes but clunky boots will have to do. Hey, guess what? Work was canceled for tomorrow (except for the couple of hours throughout the day that I will be shoveling and checking things out), so I can sleep late! Here's to hoping that I don't lose power. :blink: |
I did get some sleep. Storms make me sleep like a baby. Not the crying, colicky babies but the I just fall over asleep into a weird position so mom can take a pic and post it online and embarrass me for years to come kind of baby.
About 7 hours. Not as much as I'd prefer but I'll take it, given the CLUNK and scrraaaaaaaape of the plows went on all night long. Bad news for me, exercisers. My hip is already hurting and I haven't even gotten outside yet. I'm going to power up with a good breakfast and do some stretches and see how bad it is so far outside and then come back and try that stupid yoga video I've been putting off for weeks now. I know a lot of you like it so there's got to be something to it, right? |
Whataya know? The ole hip is doing okay now. 2 hours of shoveling and cursing Mother Nature seemed to help which is good because I'm going to have to get back out there in a couple of hours and do it again. The one thing in our favor is that it is light, dry and fluffy snow. If it were wet, we'd have a lot more power outages and power lines down. Of course, 100 lbs of snow is still 100 lbs of snow and it doesn't matter if it's soft and dry or not.

Dose early spring house cleaning count?

Yesterday I played guinea pig with my Dr and after giving me something I had to go hit the trails and see how long it took me to kill myself. They call it a 'pain trial'. It took 4.5 hours :blink: Most of that time I felt great and had more fun out there than I have since I got here. Much better than the one last week that only lasted 2 hours. Of course, I also now have an enormous blister on one foot, so I was still pretty worn out, and a tad gimpy.
But, I did an hour on the recumbent bike this morning and it felt pretty good although I wasn't really interested in the third half hour and called it a day after spending a little quality time with the Hydro-massager. :cheesy: |
Now that I'm on the way to recovery....I hope....I look forward to my own quality time with the hydro-massage table.
I think I have to cancel my PT appointment for tomorrow though. We still have a travel ban and I'm probably going to have to work since I got today "off". |
After several many weeks I finally started my day out with yoga. The difference I feel in my body and mind are amazing....
Then two cleaning jobs after that.... I wanted to take Jacques for a walk but its cold tonight... |
2 hrs at the gym:
60 min. on the treadmill (4mph, uphill intervals every 15 min from 12 to 3) 30 min. stairmaster (intervals) 15 min. bike (level 10, random program) 15 min. yoga and stretching I think I didn't sleep that well last night so it was a little taxing. But great anyway :) |
No gym for me. Even though the travel ban has been lifted, they are still telling folks to stay off the roads if at all possible. I did do some stretches with my new resistance bands last night and I will have plenty of shoveling to deal with today again, so the ole body's still moving with intent.

It was a sunny day, so I took the bus to the library as Ami needs the car to get to work. I was back before she left, good timing. Excersize was shivering in the 18* weather at the bus stops. Burrrrr.
