guys .... how can you claim a 6 or 8km walk is not exercise ... when you walk with me you walk fast - my kids jog to keep up .... you have a hard time talking (although, i still do, but id prob spend my last breaths on saying something ) .... but you can not tell me that is not a form of exercise .... its not resistance, it doesn't elevate your heart rate to the state that a cardio circuit does, but it does work you ....
walked to gym about 45 minutes
evaluation session with my pt (basically tells me had bad i have done)
45 minutes on the cross trainer at maxium resistance (only did 1.98km)
now please tell me that i did not exercise

Oh noooo....Im not getting involved in this walking debate again. And I didnt bring it up either
As Manly will be gracing the tv tonight in the semi's I will be leaving work early to start sinking beers and scream like a girl. Due to this I will need to attend the gymnasium at an earlier time. So today Ive decided to do a spin class on the bikes. Only ever done it once so should be interesting.
My goal...last the whole time without getting bored.
My tactic to do this...park behind a good arse...and peddle :?

or perve on the hot female instructor but that is only usually fun for a few minutes. to pass the time I usually keep asking the instructor for more climbing tracks, or if i am in rpm can we just keep doing track 5!
and the screaming like a girl will that be at wolfman? or will it be coz wolfman is on the tv coz he's so sexy. More so since he lost his beard!

- anyone can do it
- improves your lipid profile
- increases lung potential (deep breathing..)
- promotes muscle/bone growth in kiddies
- encourages muscle flexibility - walkers are less likely to stack it
- good night's sleep
- psychological benefits
easy for gym junkies to downplay walking.. haha!
depends how much you want out of it..
i've upped stomach crunches and am unable to laugh this week..

I have hurt my back....sneezed and felt this MASSIVE twinge in the middle of my back. Been a bit sore for a week now.
And have I been stretching properly while exercising, you may ask? Of course fucking not! Not the last week I haven't.....and look what happens! Grrrrrr....

Good luck with that back. I have been there and it SUCKS. Took me 18 months of no running, which was a huge psychological hurdle to get over.
But thankfully during this dark time Into the Wild was released, played it daily.
Hang in there and like eddie said "No matter how cold the winter there is always a spring time ahead"

2000m row
21 x 30kg thruster
21 chins
15 x 30kg thruster
15 chins
9 x 30kg thrusters
9 chins
2000m run
I sucked shit today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t know why but Im really lacking in confidence at the moment and its fucking pissing me off.
I should be doing 40kg thrusters and go pretty close to getting all the 3 sets out in one go. Instead I dropped the bar after 12 on the FISRT set. My chin ups Im not extending the entire way down and hence putting pressure on my upper back.
Take away the row and run and the workout above is called ‘Fran’ which Ive done several times over the years and have a best time of about 6 or 7 mins. I reckon it took me 15 today.
Really down on myself. Not sure if Ive lost confidence or fitness
I know I know........it feels pretty good today. Back into it this afternoon.
Man I'm getting skinnier though! It's fucking awesome! Don't know about wearing pants yet though...scary! :?
its all in the mind mate, put those pants on now! well to atleast see if they do fit a little better than before

Nope....I can't do it.....pants phobia taking over! :shock:
And I threw away all my pants....every single pair....i need to buy new ones. And I'm not skinny enough to wear them yet so I don't even want to try. Got to keep working on those chubby thighs!
Talking about throwing things.......I just picked up my keyboard, backhanded it 5 feet across the room into the fridge and all the keys came off (well most) thats how hard I threw it
Its still works tho
Im a little worried here.....Ive never felt so aggressive/frustrated in my life. I either need a root, a smack to the head or just a new day to begin :shock: Think I better jog home and sit on the couch tonight. No interaction with humans could be highly advised

DonJon.......this isn't like you AT ALL! Did it feel good throwing your keyboard? Do you actually feel better?
You need sex......sex is always the answer.....or also the problem...depends how you look at it.
Yeah probably right about the root thing Gym is always a great release for me but maybe coz I struggled today I didnt get 'that' release?!?!?!
Hmm I dont know but shit Ive got some pent up aggression stemming from somewhere
Im gonna train tomorrow (normally a day off) and just do some cardio. If still feeling like this Ill go do some sparring and get the crap kicked outta me :shock:
Comments
perhaps you guys stroll????
Ive had a crap day so putting on the shoes and my fancy new backpack with heaps of straps and leg it home. Beer waiting at the pub
when we're in nz im going to make you walk everywhere!!!! and if you whine even once ........

Been a while since Ive done 40kg thrusters and I must say I wont be doing them again on a Monday. Complete arse rippers they are.
Tough one for a monday
2:54 was my finishing time.
1 mile lake swim in 38 minutes
22 mile bike in 1 hour 15 minutes
6 mile run in 54 minutes
Remaining time was transition.
I hit all my goals, finished strong, stay calm in water, and finish under 3:30.
Looking forward to my next one for I know I can do better in the swim, biking, and transitions.
Running that's my about my max at that stage in the race.
for me
