The Do You Work Out Zone

hottprof · 01-06-2010, 10:37 AM

I still have not been back to the gym this year... throwing your back out really messes with my head...

so I am working on getting on to better eating habbits, I know what I have to do I just need to pre-prepare food and I will be golden...

I am hoping to get back to the gym some time this week even if it is just to walk...

Hope everyone else's year is starting alright.

No New Year's resolutions here,just keep on keeping on and try to maintain my fitness in the face of increasing school pressure as springtime gets here.I have been doing a bit of swimming and running in order to finish the half marathon 10 days from now.I'm not in peak running shape but I WILL FINISH Then back to the pool for some serious swim training to get ready for my next big trick;attempting a 5 mile swim in the Cumberland River before school REALLY overtakes my life! The mountain biking is going slow due to all the bad weather we are having here,but that's just icing on the cake if I get out and ride in the winter weather.Right now,it's just hunkering down and waiting to see if the snow is gonna hit or not.Hello to everyone and hope you're having a great week and have a great weekend!

Ok I finally have found a work out that I am willing to do.....
5 miles from here there is a new roller rink dedicated to roller derby

and they have weekly classes..... I love skating always have,,actually i used to do some speed skating prior to gaining another person in weight.....
so i will be heading there on saturday to register for the classes....and enjoy the scenery as i skate around the rink......behind all those nice fit trim (oh am i objectifying? Damn right I am) motivations that will be in front of me....

I may be old and fat but roller skates/inlines are like being in water......you can still go fast and not feel the ummm..ummm extra 90 pounds...and its a hell of a work out.

29 pushups
(did these inbetween the pushup sets)
2 x 12; 1 x 15 arm curls
2 x 12; 1 x 15 shoulder raises

112 situps.

3 x 15 hip raises

No Yoga today. I've decided that to help keep the workout from getting too long I'm going to do that on alt days -- so one day workout next day yoga. That keeps my fitness regime to 30 min a day at the start of the day.

I also got an app to remind me how much water to take in (I have suspicions that I'm borderline dehydrated most of the time). Interestingly enough, since I've started drinking more I sleep better. A hint I suppose.

Great to see all the neat ideas to stay fit.

Dean, good luck on the skates. Those can be quite the challenge (very different than ice skating I find). Maybe once in L.A. I'll see about finding classes on how to use roller blades properly.

Shadows papa, good luck on the marathon. WOW. 10K is nothing to sneeze at. Just to finish that would be impressive in my book.

Linus · 01-12-2010, 09:17 AM

I'm still working on getting into a rhythm for workouts. Over the weekend, because of the server move I got lazy. I was so exhausted that sleep was the priority over workouts. Add to that an early and long day (8am-6pm min) for 5 days this week and workouts didn't seem that inviting. What I did do is get a band (blue) for workouts and realized that I could do my reps while I was teaching or my colleague was (preferred). So I did that today and got in a few sets of arm curls, tricep raises, arm raises and chest flyes.

I've been contemplating getting the P90X system. A friend is willing to sell me their extra copy. Anyone used this?

Linus · 01-19-2010, 08:55 AM

Well, I got back into my workouts today. I got the precursor video set to the P90X system (Power90) and could only do 20 min of the workout (next time I'll eat a bit before doing the workout). It's pretty intensive.

On the plus side of things, I've lost 8lbs so far in two weeks so I've been at least good about what's going in versus going out. My water consumption also has improved thanks to my little app.

Go Team BFP!!
