Good for you Nothingman....congrats and keep it up

I thank my mother profusely for raising me without a sweet tooth. I dont do it for fitness...I honestly just dislike junk food. Favourite food is salad. I am a sucker for a hamburger with the lot though.

800m run
40 pushups
600m run
40 reverse grip chin ups
400m run
40 dips
200m run
40 burpees

Some planks and core holds

Pretty good effort for my usual lazy friday. Geez I suck at dips tho. Got 28 chins done in one go too!!!!

50 minute run.

Legs were heavy again but came alive after 1 mile, happy I stuck with it.

30 minutes of laps in the cool pool yesterday and hoping to get another 30 tonight.

8 days to go.

tightrope high

Swimming 2 x per week, 1 mile each time or sometimes more depending how busy the pool is

Some Saturdays - perhaps twice a month - go hiking across country for 2 or 3 hours

I'll wait for the darker nights to start drawing in this Winter and then I might also give running a try (not doing it at the moment as it's too light and people can see me!!)

This morning:

20 minute stretch/workout:
- 30 sit ups
- 30 push ups
- 30 leg rolls
- 20 squats
- 5 lunges each leg
- 30 straight leg raises (each)
- 30 toe out leg raises (each)
- and other shit like plank etc

My plank is getting much better....everything is getting much easier....

I've been doing 30 reps in a row.......would it be better to do 2 x 15....and then up it to 3 x 15 or is it okay to just do them all in a row?

If you can increase the reps, it would be beneficial...and more of a challenge for your body. Also, adding any weight to some of the exercises would be good too, if doing 30 reps isn't as much of a challenge (adding weights to your squats, or ankle weights to your leg raises) feel the burn :-)

Right there are too many new faces in here for me to congratulate everyone by name but good work team. Glad to see lots of new faces. Train hard fight easy they say

400 run
15 reverse chin ups
10 Floor wipes 40kg
10 burpess

6 sets

Bitta beer gut work for 10 mins

ZiggyStar

Thanks Pearlgirl2010

So is there any difference between doing 3 x 15 reps with a 30 second break (or less) in between OR 45 reps straight? Is it either way better than the other?

zenith

good job everyone ...

today i slaved over a book and ate chocolate and chips and thats about it .... :(

i'll do a set tonight ....

DonJon

Maybe up your weight if you are doing 45 reps in one go. Lunges and that sorta stuff are fine to do 50 reps in one go but any major weights (aka deadlifts, cleans, curls, etc) do lessor reps of.

Eg sits up do (say) 25, then break for 30 secs do some more etc

illegal pants

f*ck

not going as often as i wanna be AND all these f*ckers are leaving work which means social drinking. lots.

i need to up my cardio and decrease weights... time to hit the speed rope.

pants will be making more of an effort both here and the gym...

*siiiiiigh*

comebackgirl

1-2 days/week 45-60 minutes of kickboxing or jogging
3-4 days/week 60 minutes of cardio & strength training intervals (little bit of everything - lunges, squats, deadlifts, tricep, bicep, shoulder and back work, pushups, twisting & walking planks, etc. etc).

On days I'm rushed for time I do the 30 day shred - mastered level 3 a while back so just upping the weights a bit. It's a great workout for limited time.

was waking up at 5 am to fit in my workouts during the summer...that's the only good thing about summer coming to an end - my work hours change and I can sleep in a bit more!

daily workout???

I get out of bed in the morning, that's enough for me

today so far I walked to the gym and did a 45 minute spin class.

question: I am having trouble staying strong with my diet at the moment, any one got any tips that might help?

good work!

-for brekkie, try a low GI cereal
-there are tricks to portion sizes - use a small bowl/plate - the visual does help - no room for overfill and seconds
-snacking - i have no advice, i eat too much shit haha.. put some nuts and apple slices in there..
-see what you eat!!! don't eat out of packs - put it in a bowl and suck it up with the washing
-as for seconds.. give the brain a bit of time to catch up at dinner time - so don't eat too fast, it'll say 'hey dude i'm full' before you reach for seconds..
-don't eat too late - not because it's harder to lose but because you'll sleep better! sleep = important..

i didn't sleep well last night

try to cut out the soda and booze.. i'm off of soft drinks now unless a charming young lad buys me a bourbon and coke for which i cannot pass up

to be on topic.. i started my day with some speed rope

Random_Wookie

today walked to gym then had a session with my PT

4*13 deadlifts (60,70,80,90kg), only managed 10 at 90 kg
3*16 sqauts front dumbell raises (eight each arm @ 20 kg)
3*20 lunges with cable hold

ZiggyStar

2 x 15 sit ups
2 x 15 leg curls
3 x 15 push ups
20 x squats
5 x lunges each leg (these kill me and not getting any easier)
25 x toe straight leg raises each leg
25 x toe out leg raises each leg (fuck these are hard)
20 seconds holding plank

Yep....my plank lasted a WHOLE 20 seconds. I'm so sad! lmao

In the past 4 days I've walked home from work once (10 mins) and have done no other walking/jogging. :? Been getting home really late after dark. Been eating really well though.

Now, to define my arms should I start doing low weights...? Seems my core, legs and back are getting a lot of work but not my arms.

After a long day on Saturday, I took two days off.

Attended a wedding Sunday and drove back Monday. Tiring indeed.

Ran tonight @ 6pm, which I never do, always workout before noon, and I paid the price. After 3 miles I was done.

Going to get to bed soon and try again in the AM.

4 days until the triathlon.

DonJon

Good luck with the tri Oceansmademe!!!!!!!!

17.5kg cleans (both arms)
Reverse grip chin ups
V sit ups
500m row

Sets:
5
10
15
20
15
10
5

Thats 3.5km on the friggin rower :roll:
80 chins
160 cleans
80 sit ups

Shoulders are busted. Chins after cleans sucked pretty hard. Only thing easy about this was the sit ups

ZiggyStar

This is interesting -- I knew it was better but not that much better! Got this from the www.realage.com website. I love that website!

Is chicken that much better for you than meat? You bet. Compare a broiled skinless chicken breast to a broiled sirloin steak, with the fat trimmed to nearly nothing (a mere 1/8 inch): Ounce for ounce, the steak has a little less protein, about a third more calories, and four times as much fat, half of it saturated. Go chicken!

ZiggyStar

2 x 15 sit ups
2 x 15 leg curls
3 x 15 push ups
20 x squats
7 x lunges each leg (these kill me and not getting any easier)
25 x toe straight leg raises each leg
25 x toe out leg raises each leg (fuck these are hard)
20 seconds holding plank

Abs really felt it today.....feels good too! And I'm already getting much more flexible and my balance is waaaay better. And my clothes are still getting looser and looser. Oh yeahhh! Give me another month and I'll be saying "bring on the pants" ---- and I'm not talking about Illegal Pants either.

Ooohhh I didn't click you lived in NYC....that's exciting! I'm a bit NYC obsessed at the moment.

DonJon is always going on about walking not being real exercise!

I haven't seen DonJon refer to it, but yeah I'd agree that walking should not be considered exercise..it's a necessity..

not if you got out of you way to go for a walk it is exercise!
for example if i walked to the tram anc caught that to work that would not be exercise, but instead if i walked to work instead of catching the tram that would be exercise as it is something i would not normally do.

alternatively you could claim that about all exercise, i.e. lifting weights could be not considered exercise due to the fact that we lift items of some weight everyday, (i.e. slab of beer, shopping, etc)

tonight i will be walking home

edit: sorry guys had to claim i did something today!
