    good work champion - nothing like a jog when you're a bit windy.
    so no skirt then given good new pants?

    Possibly.

    If your new to running or returning after a long time away taking walk breaks is an excellent strategy.

    Next time out walk for 5 minutes every 5 minutes alternate between the two.

    As you progress make the running sections longer.

    My best marathon time was done by walking for 60-90 seconds at every mile marker.

    Good luck.

    woohoo - this afternoon - after months of not doing it (because my stupid trainer started shagging the stupidest girl in the class even tho they both had kids running around .... and he honestly wondered why i told him he was a dickhead :roll: ) ive jumped back into the boxing sessions

    granted i used jay & riley - but ffs, they are both taller than me now .... and i had to tell them every combo 20 times ... but, a 1/2 session & my arms burnt and thats a good thing ... ( and they were puffing too ... teach the little shits some respect ;) )

    and as wookie already knows - it solved my db brainfreeze too 8-)

    i do wish there was a good place to go do this nearby tho - it bloody whips you into shape. but the aforementioned trainer 's wife kicked him out, so the stupid girl holds circuit / boxing sessions in her shed because she seems to think she's a PT after doing an online course, but doesnt seem to think she needs insurance ... & im not touching that one :roll:

    aw Lindy this is post of the thread! it sounds like Days of our Lives there :? :o

    letting the Aussie team down :? slack slack slack... made healthier diet choices to make up for lack of gym

    but no booze? no dairy? no meat?

    not good :? being Greek it would almost be sacrilegious... hell my grandma just forced some ouzo down my poor friends throats the other day :?

    YEH! so i'm decreasing weights and increasing cardio 'cos i have packed on a helluva lot of lean muscle mass..

    I had a good one today...maybe it was the thought of exams tomorrow that made me so focussed.

    Did 300club (well most of it but changed a few things

    50 chins
    50 box jump
    50 one arm kettle press
    50 floor wipes
    50 pushups
    50 burpees.

    Did them all in sets of 10. Went well surprisingly :?
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    My boobs aren't big enough to be THAT much of a problem........I think I just have a sore back.........but I definitely do have to upgrade to a proper sports bra.

    I've recently joined a gym.
    I go 4 times a week.
    Each session consists of:
    5 mins power walk on treadmill
    12 mins minimum jog on treadmill
    15 mins intense cycling on excercise bike
    as many reps on the ab machine
    overhead arm extensions
    front arm extensions

    Don,
    What do you use weight wise for the floor wipes? I've been meaning to try them on one of my setlists but I also been having on and off hip flexor issues so I end up shelving stuff like that.

    Have to write up the list for tonight now, going for much lighter weights but endurance circuits.

    Went riding my mountain bike with my son for about 1.5 hours. Lots of drops, lots of walking the bike back up the hill. Took a nice digger...

    Came home and did 4 different shoulder specific excersises. Working 3 night shifts, so the workout might be the last for a few days.

    great workout here.

    if you ever have a day where running seems a bit too much stick with the walking and increase the grade.

    Once you hit 8% it's the same as running at a 5.5mph

    I did 70 minutes in the pool today, felt like I could have done another 70 but had to get out and work on the bathroom remodel.

    Mate I only used 40kg for these due to the chins and presses before them as the shoulders were a little fatigued. Ive done 60kg before and had to concentrate heavily...especially with the movement. Very easy to drop the bar.

    And yep dont be doing too many of theses with your hip flexor :?

    Tonight's set, could have been a little better but I haven't done these light weight/high repetition nights often so it was good to change things up:

    Squat into Military presses 15lbs dumbells, 2 sets 20 reps each
    Pushup circuit with medicine ball, 2 sets 10 reps each pushup routine
    Single arm bent over rows, 30 lbs, 2 sets 20 reps each side
    Uprights, 30 lbs barbell, 2 sets 20 reps
    Pullups/Pylo Pushups, 5 sets, 5 reps on the pullups each, ten on pushups
    Hamstring curls, 40 lbs, 2 sets 20 reps
    Chest Press, 155 lbs, 2 sets 20 reps each
    Wall sits, 2 sets 100 seconds each :shock:
    Inverted rows, 2 sets 15 reps each
    Bicep curls 17.5 lbs dumbells, 2 sets 25 reps each
    Tri-cep dips, 2 sets 10 reps ( had 20 written on the set but my right arm was feeling a little tight so cut back)
    Calf raises, 200 lbs, 2 sets 20 reps each
    Inside Hip abductions, 60 lbs, 2 sets 20 reps each
    Prone Side iso abdominals , 2 sets 20 seconds each side

    Not sure what the exact timing was but it was between 35-45 minutes.

    I think I will try what you just did, but not until Friday. I know it will take me longer than what you took. I tend to sit between sets and get caught up listening to the current song for too long.
