    Simple workout..

    3 sets of 20 push-ups.
    3 sets of 30 sit-ups.
    Stretching.
    10-30 minute run, depending on the weather.

    are you kidding? that's the easiest workout I've ever seen in my life...running for 10 minutes??? I'm not trying to look down on anyone's workouts but don't make a nothing workout out to be something great.

    Well, I've changed it many times, most recently I had to remove 3 sets of 10 chin-ups because I no longer have a chin-up bar, but I've been on the 3 to 7 day a week thing for atleast 12 years or so, since early high school.

    Not everyone has the same goals when it comes to workouts. I applaud everyone that has a workout routine and sticks to it. I see so many people I went to school with, family members, and acquaintance who can't walk around the block without getting winded and tired. :( So every workout, if you stick with it, is a good workout. :)

    My goals are to complete a half iron distance triathlon in June, but I sure don't expect others to come anywhere close to the distances I have to run, ride and swim the next few months - unless, of course, they plan on doing a Half Iron too.

    Every work out is a good work out! :):)

    but that's just the thing, the standards are too low, that's why people are out of shape.

    I work out every other day....usually I do 30 mins of pilates and then 30 to 45 minutes of cardio. But then again I change it up a lot.

    The day before I started college, my freshman year (September 1986) I ran 1/4 mile. It was a big accomplishment for me. It was the first time I decided to make running a part of my life, and I was going to go at it methodically so I couldn't hurt myself. By that time I was told I couldn't weight lift due to health reasons, and running type stuff were the best things for me. Unfortunately, in 5th grade, 6th grade, and 12th grade I hyperventilated while running on 3 different occasions because I thought I was hurting myself. The fear made me breathe wrong. . . but, I was going to do it.

    March 2, 1999 I ran 6 miles non-stop for the first time in my life. It was a life goal, and made me realize that I could have done it much earlier. However, the waiting made the goal sweeter. March 2, 2007 I ran 10 miles non-stop for the first time.

    I've cheered YOU on! I cheered YOU on when I found out you were going to do a 10-miler this February. Why can't you do the same, and spread the good cheer?

    Your lack of empathy is astounding.

    that guy wasn't just starting, that's his usual routine, and he claimed in other threads that he was in good shape. I don't care one way or the other what people do for their own workouts, that's completely up to them, but the point is, don't make a big deal out of it when someone is doing less than their potential. It takes away from the people who are really trying and challenging themselves and making progress, etc.

    ugh in general I just have not felt healthy this week. working out has been a huge chore and all I want to do is eat! cookies!

    I'm going to start taking my medication again. despite the side effects it DOES make me never want to eat.

    Potential? Who decides potential? I thought the only ones that cared about potential were mlb scouts. Of course, they pay for it. Have you decided to switch careers?

    it was based on other knowledge of the poster from other threads. You can tell people's general potential. Pretty much any able-bodied young person can do just about anything. Personally, I think that if I can haul ass for 8 miles while carrying over 200 lbs of fat on little tiny legs, a healthy young man who claims to be in shape should be able to do much more than that. Whether he choses to or not is his call, that's not my issue. Some people don't want to spend the time, some people are just lazy. whatever.

    the point is don't laud able-bodied people for just for getting *some* exercise. Everyone should be getting *some* exercise.

    I hit the weights M W & F this week. I've been very consistent in doing this for the last year (with a six month break before that and then another solid year), so consider this a blanket statement if I don't post each day. :)

    Today:

    Together in a circuit:
    Flat bench press, 3x10, 185 lbs
    Dumbbell front lunges, 3x10, 25lbs each hand
    Standing calf raises, 3x12, 320 lbs

    Individually with 60 seconds between each set:
    Dumbbell military press - 3x10, declining weight each set @40, 35, & 30lbs
    Barbell bent-over rows - 3x10, 85lbs
    Standing Tricep Pushdowns - 3x10, 120lbs
    Standing barbell curls - 3x10, 45lbs
    Iso Lat Pulldown - 3x10, 110lbs

    Have a good weekend all!

    Steve, get back in there next week when you're feeling better!
