    Sigh. This week has been completely worthless. Haven't been able to do much of anything except take a little walk during my lunch break.

    Air squats,air lunges,push ups,Tri dips.Can do all of it in 10 min right in the kitchen.
    Im being a hypocrite right now though because I should be at the gym its heavy leg day but it pouring and black outside and a nap sounds soooooo much better.Do nap it will be.
    Yeah I should have been doing some of those. By the time I was getting home though, I was done and just wanted to space out watching tv until bed.

    Don't blame you going for a nap over heavy leg day lol. Always hate it when it feels like you need a walker the next day lol.

    Mark,you've been doing great. A week. Off as long as diet is in check won't hurt anything.In fact may give you a nice growth spurt on the other side.

    Thanks. Diet is still staying the same, so at least I didn't completely torpedo myself.

    Going to the gym in about half an hour though, so that will get the weekend started right.

    RK,good on the PT.Im back at mine also,but I'm not going to quit doing everything else not related to shoulder.Do you really have to wait 6 weeks?

    I guess I could do yoga in the meantime, I have been trying to get long walks in for now. She had me back off the shoulder exercises for a few days since I ate the sidewalk last week. She is also having me work my knee so it doesn't stiffen up.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I will use your "get off your ass" attitude to tack on 25 squats and 25 pushups at each 1/3 mile lap!

    Took advantage of my Good Friday off from work and did some walking. I'm at my lowest I've been in 2 years at 203.6 after weighing myself this morning. I was around 215 at Xmas. Been taking smaller bites than usual so that may be helping. Not bad since I had two slices of Little Caesars yesterday.

    If I were only a few inches taller I'd be considerably slim. I'm 5'9". I'm not short but I'm not exactly tall either.

    No, I kept it modest with a simple single cheeseburger combo, I have to save room for a few chocolate covered pretzels from Amish Country later. At today's official weigh in I was 190.7.
    That makes 29.3 pounds in 8 weeks, and I feel Pretty proud of that.

    For anyone who feels like that progress is ridiculous, note that I am only 30 years old and work only 3 days a week.

    I'm at a stand still but this was expected with the holiday weekend.
    Rain tomorrow so no walk but the rest of the week looks sweet so hitting the beach after work and try some intervals.
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    Great job man! You should definitely be proud of that. It's great to see hard work paying off, isn't it?

    Hi all, Great to hear how well you are all doing. Sorry I haven't dropped by, uni is back in session and it's crazy time. Tour time is getting closer and you are all getting into shape and coming closer to your goals. Happy Easter and keep up the hard work. Enjoy a few bits if chocolate or hot cross buns but remember how much hard work you have put into to get to where you are :heart:

    40 minutes on a stationary bike.

    Try this H.(on the stationary bike)
    Warm up for 5 min. If you have an rpm reader shoot for around 100 rpm.
    Then do 10 intervals.30 sec pedaling at 130-140 rpm and then 1 minute recoup back at 100 rpm.Each 30 sec blast is one interval.Repeat 10 times.I do 15 usually and I spin 2 x a week.(if no rpm reader then go at normal pace for recoup and as fast as you can for your interval.

    Finish with a 5 min cool down then some stretches.
    This will have you on the bike for 15 min less but will ramp up your heart rate to burn a lot more fat and calories later.Interval training is way better then longer slower rides for cardio.You can have your workout done in 30 min and really excellerate your results.
