Daily Exercise

[Chrisdesigner]

I went for a short run along Lake Michigan last night. I'm working on training for a 5K

Best of luck

I changed my routine slightly today.
Still have the same basic structure.
Today, warm up, stretch.
Eight sets of dumbbell bench press. Second set of four sets increased weight, with negative reps' thrown in for that little something extra.
Four sets of pull overs.
Four sets of dumbbell flys.

Agree with Chrisdesigner, best of luck I'm signed up for a 10K on St. Patrick's Day. Have had to take a break from the running part of the training the last few days though...

This morning: 30 minutes of weight training. Later: 1 hour of yoga...it will be my first try!

I'm thinking of using this thread as a measure of accountability for myself to stick with running when I should!

 

[*HoneyBee*]

Only 30 mins of dancing today.

 

[SirSunday]

Chrisdesigner - thank you for the support. Your lift routine puts me to shame...but a goal to work towards.

shoegal2183 - that's precisely why i post in this thread - i don't keep track otherwise. we'll be watching

This afternoon - 30 minutes of yoga - that IS exercise! Running buddy had me run 2.2 miles to get back on track. 12 more practice days left...

 

[shoegal2183]

Yoga IS for sure exercise and I feel a necessary part of a runners workout plan.

 

[SirSunday]

^whoops. i re-read what i wrote, and i didn't mean for it to sound like i was mocking yoga (if that is how it came across...) it is a test of whole body fitness, and i was not able to maintain positions as long as everyone else. i agree, this is a valuable component to the exercise regiment and a practice that i should incorporate regularly.

 

[shoegal2183]

^^

hehe...i didn't think you were mocking it at all! I was just seconding what you were saying.

 

[SirSunday]

^ whew!

 

[SirSunday]

ran 5 miles this morning with my sister

 

[loves]

45min swim for the past two days. i've been slacking, only swam for 45mins instead of an hour. ideally to lose weight, i need to hit 1 hour. maybe tmrw i might do the full hour.

 

[shoegal2183]

I was getting ready to go to bed last night and decided to go to the gym instead...14 min on eliptical3 sets of 10 tricep dips (on the assist thing)2 sets of 8 pull ups (this one is so hard for me)A series of crunches...30 with legs flat on the ground, 30 with feet on the ground and knees bent, 30 with feet in the air knees bent, and 30 with straight legs.
