Good to see some more new faces in here.
Hope you didnt drown Jennytree
Good to hear this is your sorta stuff. People like you are hard to find.
Ive been training Crossfit style for over two years now. LOVE IT and I dont think Ill ever go back to 'normal' gym training. Bores the life out of me. Lots of own body weight, NO breaks
Wall Shot is a wall ball. A full squat with ball on chest. As you come up you 'press' the ball and throw it 6-10 feet up a wall. A bit like a thruster.
this is the kind of stuff im into. never done a wall shot. whats that?
it's not my daily workout, but i'm so proud of myself that I'm posting anyway! i recently started jogging....which I've never ever liked doing and have only done once in the past 6 years.... but last night, I needed to clear my head and jogged for 1.5 miles without stopping!! i had no idea that I could do it and felt so good...i think i know why people go for a run now!
my daily workout is regular ol' weights in the gym, squats, situps, etc...
Thats awesome news well done. I agree with your theory too.
Never been a runner here but turned a corner recently.....and Ive found its all in the head

awesome i actually do that. also throw it up from like a granny toss position straight up.
i usually run like 2 miles. do supersets and pilate type core. then do plyo with the medicine ball and just jumping squats and all that..mixing in sprints.
its awful sometimes but way more fun then just liftin weights.

Thank you....it was definitely in my head. and now i'm psyched to have something else to add to my gym workout, especially when i can run on the beach. i feel like a whole new Janet :-)

plyo with the medicine ball??? May have to google that one.
Righto I had one of the best workouts Ive had for a long time today.
Admittedly not very high intensity but I pushed through and didnt break for any more than a 10 second walk to the next piece of apparatus.
21 wall balls 10kg (only stopped on #14 on one set)
15 reverse chin ups (got em all out)
9 burpees
400m sprint
5 sets 29mins 6secs
Get that up ya.
7 of us did it (all full time trainers). I came 3rd for time. Get that up ya! Burpees into the sprint was the hard part. Wall balls was time to get breathing back. Chins are chins
I've just started in the pool I haven't been in a swimming pool since I was about 12, and I've totally forgotten how to swim. There's a pool beside my house that does Aquafit classes, and while I may not lose too much weight from it, it's more to get me started on the track to exercising and getting into a routine! I'm feckin' huge so every little helps, and I really hate walking!
Wish me luck
Good luck. I think you are on the right track getting into a fitness routine. Once it becomes part of your routine it is much harder to stop. Also as you lose some weight it will be more fun to walk/run or ride a bike. Also keep in mind that weight training/strengthening kicks up your metabolism. I hate it, but I do it - not as regularly as I should though.
Thanks! I have the class again tonight and I'm looking forward to it. I hope this is the beginning of something real good

Really happy today. Just kept pushing thru[/quote]
DJ,
Do you do all this indoors or outdoors? I love seeing these sets, and I would try them myself but the biggest problem is finding space in gyms in New York and New Jersey. Most studio space is taken by classes or personal trainers working with clients one on one.
Jw
plyo with the medicine ball??? May have to google that one.
i meant plyo with mixed in medicine ball tosses.
i go out to the tennis courts to do plyo and bring the ball with me so i can do both...my english got mixed up

Do it all indoors mate. I train at hours outside of the 'regular' lunch and after work so the gym is no where near max capacity for starters..
Secondly I train/am friends with the majority of trainers so sharing etc is easier and without sounding like a fuckwit (tho it will), most of the trainers (and of course normal punters) dont train crossfit style so when they see you going from burpees straight to the chin bar they generally just move and watch. (expecting you to have a break Id assume).
Its mainly the chin up bar that you sometimes have to wait for coz it has 2 x cables on it too.
Also we have the clock out and people screaming times/number of sets at each other so those steroid fellas down the end that pump out 5 reps bench then break for 5 mins, seem to even move outta the way

Ill never have a love affair with it unfortunate to say.
Nothing nicer that a run on the beach Janet then just fall into the water at the end. Keep up the good work.
i have now gained 8kg since starting gym 3-4 times a week.. clothes still fit so it's all good..
GUNNNNNS!
Muscle mass!?!?!?!
Thats a fair bit isnt it doc??? That being said my old beer gut which is now an 18 pack, woulda been 8kg and now that that is gone Im still exactly the same weight I was when a fat bastard
Where have you been pants? 4 days!!! Don Jon is gonna buy you some celebratory drinks in Dec.....after we go to the gym

def. muscle mass.. i do too much leg work and so switched to more cardio in the last week, i'll see where i'm at in 4 weeks 'cos yeh - 8kg is a phucking lot!
haha 18 pack - cmon where's the photo?
i've been internetless and in hiding.. and at the gym bring on the drinks!!!! holding you to that!
done nothing all weekend - bought a speed rope to do work at home for days i can't make it to the gym and weekends - love it
No internet hey.....thought you'd been a little quiet. No 18 pack here....I drink too many 24 packs to warrant any tummy definition.
Im doing both nights in Adelaide for tour and if (currently posted dates) are anything to go by....Ill stay in Adel for a few nights then head straight to Sydney (skipping Melb)....plenty of beer time.
Is everyone on holiday or sitting on the couch smoking bongs?
1km run
100 Jumping Lunges
100 V Sit Ups
800m run
80 Kettle Bell Swings (24kg) - man these hurt today
80 Squats
600m run
60 pushups
60 burpees
Goal was 45mins. Done in 44.58 HAhahah......hows that for on purpose?
Burpees are usually a strong point of mine - not today. I was doing them in lots of 7 and 8. By the end I was like a sack of potatoes hitting the floor. And my hearing went the worst Ive ever had it.
Not sitting on the couch although it may come to that. My ankle/shin/whatever is getting worse and worse. I've got to where I can barely walk so finally supposed to get some xrays this week. I am swimming and cycling though, and trying to do some strengthening too.
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way it treats its animals. Ghandi
started doin push ups, v sit ups and reverse and regular pull ups as a warm up then running a mile before work. been a couple days and its not so bad now.
this is a big deal considering i can barely lift my coffee mug when i first wake up
RR you poor thing that must be doing your head in - hope for a speedy recovering.
Megatron applause for the morning sessions.....only thing I can do at that time is a surf as the minute you hit the water you are wide awake.
Friday = FRAN
50kg thrusters
reverse chins
Sets 21,15,9
No clock but reckon around 4.45-5. I got all the thrusters out and all the chins (yep even the 21) but did have a 10 or so sec break between sets. A mate did it in 3.40 which is about this speed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhATxx3vyr4
After that....
50 Box jumps
40 sit ups
30 pushups
20 jumping lunge
10 burpees
I started P90X on Monday. I did the yoga-X workout yesterday and today I'm more sore than any of the previous days. That was the first time I've ever done yoga, and I felt like a complete spaz, but I'm going to keep "bringing it" until the end.
