The Do You Work Out Zone

shadows papa · 11-19-2009, 09:49 AM

WOOT! Just finished my last day of a 3 week circuit training routine. I HATE circuit training but it was a good way to boost muscular endurance and prove to myself I could maintain 7 mph on a treadmill without sliding off the end!! I will start a strength building routine next week,probably a push/pull routine 3xweekly.It's also time to ramp up the outdoor running! Happy Thursday everyone! Shad

Does the 87000 trips I have had to make to the back of our facility today (50K+ sq ft) count as working out?

I need a scooter, I think or at the very least, one of these:

Happy Friday everyone! So I did a ummm.....4000 yd swim workout this morning?? Again,sometimes I lose count. But I know I did 20 100 yd repeats! along with lot of other stuff. It was so beautiful here today I took an hour outta my study time and went for a bike ride,dusting off my road bike and doing about 17 miles.Awesome weather for it;cool enough so ya don't sweat a ton,but warm enough to ride in shorts and a short sleeve jersey. Planning on going for a mountain bike ride in the morning,mebbe I won't wind up like this>>>>

Then it's nothing but schoolbooks and homework

but it's gotta be done! Hope everyone has a great weekend! Shad

well I just found this thread because I acutally just started looking for it.

Christie: I am so proud of you

Shad: friend I miss swimming I used to do a mile everyother day

so tomorrow I start my training for my first 5K. Does anyone have any great techniques and or helpful hints on running and how to get the most out of it? I am new to this sport and since I can not swim right now (no pool) or bike (killed it and almost me on the railroad tracks), the gym is what I've got... so I am on my journey to a better healthier me...

Smiles

PS: I just read the entire thread... since there are runners out there.. I wanna play too, I just need help and a bit of extra motivation... maybe if i do not focus on weight loss and focus on the athletic goal it will be better? any suggestions?

well since this thread seems so quiet... WAKE UP PEOPLE.... okay just kidding ...

Today was day #3 of my training... it went really well...I pushed.. well pushed is not the word I let my body do the talking and I ended up doing 5 intervals of 2 minutes jogs a piece.

Thank you Shadows papa for the advice on breathing. My body just adapts to it when I stop thinking about it... and after I realized I was holding my breath... I started fosusing on the wall and zoning out it really just took hold. I can not wait until tomorrow at the gym... maybe I will add some weights (but not for the legs they are ouchie enough)..
