Sunday: 30 min stair master / 30 min back and leg exercises
Monday: 30 min stair master / 30 min weight lifting and abs Today: 60 min. stair master. New stair masters! It's like coming in and seeing a friend has been replaced! It's quite startling! These new stair masters are "hipsters." I have to pick from walking up the steps of the Empire State Building, etc. I chose the highest one because... why not. It was Burj Khalifa in Dubai at 255 floors! I did it in an hour (600 cal.). These new stair masters are not old school but they have their own modern charms. I got to enter my initials (like a video game!) for being the 5th highest climb in the past week. I can tell this will become a new challenge! Then I did a combined hour of abs, leg weights, weight lifting, yoga, tai chi, and back exercises. Guess who else was there on Thanksgiving? Jill. My eating has been a real struggle (bingeing) due to some personal problems (not relationship related!) and really just this time of year. So it makes me feel so much better physically and mentally to get in tune with my body while exercising. It also helps me to have my friends here on this thread.

That sounds so fun, Jennifer! I'd enjoy those stair climbers as well. This year typically wrecks havoc with everyone, in one way or another. Kudos to you for doing what you need to do to keep yourself steady as she goes.
No gym this morning, as I mentioned earlier. I did get a nice, albeit chilly, walk around my little neighborhood though. I startled someone who wasn't expecting anyone else to be about at 6:30 in the morning. Ooopsie. It's not the same benefit as the gym but it's enough to get me through the day normally. I haven't had two gymless days, back to back, before so I'm a little worried about tomorrow especially since it will be busy for me. Hopefully, things will work out just fine. Carry on, exercisers! |

20 minutes treadmill did 1.5 miles which is a personal best for me. 40 minutes weights and machines, including 100 ab crunches, swam 26 laps. I am definitely "chill", so relaxed my brain is much, feels great

I did half an hour walking outside except for the few minutes I ducked into a building and walked around in there. My legs were getting numb and I figured the stairs would help stretch things out a bit more. I still have a knot in my thigh and hip, but it's manageable.

Yesterday and today I did essentially the same routine as on Thursday: 1 hour on the new StairMaster climbing to the top of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai (255 floors, 600 cal), followed by an hour of weight lifting and floor exercises (abs, legs, back, and stretching). The new StairMaster routine is a killer and almost causes me exercise induced asthma but not quite (If it did, I'd definitely climb something less daunting.). Don't know about you guys, but I love love love intense exercise even if it is in sprints (which I do on the StairMaster since I've picked a random speed program). When I exercise outside, it is never as intense as at the gym because I have more control over making myself comfortable. If I ran outside, that would likely be different, but that feels too risky for my knees. So when I exercise outside I just tend to do a longer routine. The beauty and connection with nature makes up for the lack of intensity when outside. End ramble.

I ran 3.2 miles in 34 minutes outside and improved my pace to a 10.54 minute mile.

I had an awesome workout this morning, y'all!
I slept in and there weren't very many people at the gym. The weather's beautiful outside, so I'm guessing they either also slept in longer than me or they are out and about doing family stuff for the rest of the holiday weekend. The gym was hot but not as hot as usual so that was a nice touch also. T33, random program, level 5 Stats: 410 cal, 3.67 mi, 65:00 min Intervals: 2 @ 60 sec @ 5 mph 2 @ 60 sec @ 5.2 mph 2 @ 60 sec @ 5.4 mph 1 @ 90 sec @ 5.1 mph 1 @ 90 sec @ 5.3 mph This was followed by my upper body workout. 10 reps and 3 sets at each machine except for the back machine. I did 2 sets of 25 reps. For the abs, I do two exercises with my feet at different positions, targeting a different section of the abs each time. I did a hair shy of the 10 x 3 formula since I know my work day tomorrow is going to be verrrry physically demanding so I can't have sore abs. As it is, I may have pushed it just a bit with the upper body machines but I'll make sure to stretch good throughout the day and to take 2 anti-inflammatories before bed. |

Today is just not a happy day. Bad sleep during the night, higher pain level and I have a ton of manual labor to do today that involves a lot of crouching and bending and kneeling. Oy.
Short workout. I was running late. T33, random program, levels 8 and 10 Stats: 209 cal, 1.76 mi, 35:00 min No intervals |

Yesterday (Sunday) I did the same workout I did for the 4 day TG weekeend (stair master 1 hour/600 cal followed by an hour of weight lifting, abs, legs, yoga).
Today being back at work I cut it to an hour, with 30 min. stair master and then weight lifting, abs, and stretching. I am still thoroughly enthralled with the new gimmick of climbing up stairs of monuments in other countries forced upon me by the new Stair Masters. I also remain geekily thrilled with getting to enter my initials in competition with the other Stair junkies. No complaints! Maybe more sleep... Tomorrow is a two job day, and will be a day off from the gym for sure. What anti-inflammatories do you take Gemme? I usually don't need anything (I have a "sit on my ass" job unlike you) but when I lift too much weight or strain something I use an icey hot medicated stick on pad and find it really helpful at night.

I think my inability to sleep is directly related to my lack of exercise...
This changes tomorrow! I always start out meaning to do yoga in the morning and then I start cleaning...no mas. I need to make it the first thing I do every day..no matter what!!

I did indeed do my yoga...and wow...am one tightly wound girl....
I always forget how my hamstrings get excessively tight when I don't stretch. This definitely needs to be an every day thing for me again... Now to plan on some cardio....

Hmm not aerial, but I've done "paddleboard" yoga a few times now. It requires some decent athleticism.
