Daily exercise log for everyone :)

[AceWhite]

Recovered for a few days- getting busy once again. Headed off for a 50 mile bike ride

[Doreensfree]

50 miles ...Wow.!!!!....

[Katgirl]

Still doing two 2 mile sessions per day, uphill the whole time, on my treadmill. Lately, I’ve had some heel discomfort, which I think is related to the incline. Some minor plantar fasciitis, me thinks. So, I have added padding to the affected heel, and lowered the incline a bit. It hasn’t caused me to slow my speed or decrease my calorie burn. So, I am still going full steam ahead, and enjoying the  satisfaction of having a daily exercise routine. I could be a little more diligent with my weight work, which I tend to neglect, for some reason. Not sure what that’s about. 

[AceWhite]

Good idea to mix up the routine once in a while- might help with the heel pain

I started a Nov100 pushups a day for 30 days challenge yesterday (any combination of sets).  So..., I did 100 pushups.  Also went on a 3mi walk.

[JustinHoot99]

@JustinHoot99 Good job keep moving forward! One  day at a time

Day 3- 100 pushups + 3mi walk

[AceWhite]

Completed LA Triathlon on 10/24 @ 3:28

Good swim and bike and a slow run but a decent finish.

I know my weakness and spent the last week working on run only.

Monday is the opening for registration to Ironman 70.3 Oceanside hoping to score a slot for the race 4/2/2022

Going hiking in a few hours and hopefully the fall colors will be worth it.

[Kris]

@d2e8b8I am jealous, right now it is a hike to get to the bathroom!

We had to cut the hike short as one person developed heel pain about a couple of hours in.  We made our way back but the uphill and downhill climbs were very slow with breaks.

 

I suffered from heel pain for nearly 2 years and know how bad it can get.

 

The last nice weekend of the year and people were out in numbers.

Keep it up all my QT buddies exercise makes life so much better

Doing my thing daily- healthy body healthy mind & feeling good.

I have been sticking to my routine of two 2 mile power walks per day. My average speed is 3.5 miles/hr, and the entire 4 miles is an uphill climb. I start at 3.5 % and increase it to a max of 6%, by the time I am done.  Each session lasts 35 minutes. I generally watch something on my big screen TV, while I walk. When I finish each session, I am drenched in sweat, and I have burned 315 calories. I am most proud of my consistency. Once in a great while I will skip one of the 2 sessions, for no other reason than to just treat myself to a break. I think I have done that twice in the past 3 months. Keep in mind that I do these workouts 7 days a week. The scale is finally moving to the left a bit. I decided to add more weight training to my routine. At my son, Ian’s suggestion, I bought  Bowflex adjustable dumbells that can go from 5 to 55 lbs. each, and can be increased by 2.5 lbs at a time. They arrived yesterday. Naturally, I will start at 5 lbs. Ian, who works out, using a program called Nerd Fitness, has been sending me articles to read, that should be helpful. I  think I will order a weight bench, to complete my small home gym. Turns out, they aren’t that pricey. I will let you know what I think of the weights.

I always put on a bit of weight around the holidays.  Rather than fight it this year, I'm just going to lean into it.  Figure if I'm going to bulk a bit might as well start a powerlifting program.

 

I'm going with a four day split, alternating volume and intensity.

Monday: Deadlifts (1x5), Highboy Rows (3x5), Romanian Deadlifts (3x5)

Tuesday: Squat (1x5), Bench Press (3x5), Overhead Press (3x5)

Thursday: Deadlifts (3x5), Highboy Rows (2x5), Romanian Deadlifts (2x5)

Friday: Squat (3x5), Bench Press (1x5), Overhead Press (1x5)

 

It might look like overeating, but I'm calling it "bulking."

[Doreensfree]

Don't worry to much Boo....have fun ...

My son and I- sitting in the penalty box.

Quality father/ son moment

@AceWhite I didn’t know that you played hockey! No wonder you have a kick ass quit! LOL

[AceWhite]

Happy Holidays to everyone!! Laughing burns calories so do it often

[Katgirl]

Still keeping up my daily training schedule, of 2 mile power walks, uphill the whole distance. Every other day, I work out with barbells, in an effort to strengthen and tone my upper body. Sometimes, I try to skip a treadmill session, just to take a break, but my inner drive, or type A personality won’t allow it. I went to the Doctor the other day, and I am 8 pounds lighter than when I was last there, a year ago. So weight loss is slow, but it is happening. Probably better that it is slowly coming off. The older I get, the harder to lose weight. I am sometimes tempted to try crazy weight loss schemes, but my common sense tells me it’s all BS! Reality is, that though I’m somewhat overweight, I look O. K., and feel even better.

Been mixing it up and keeping it fun. Rejoined adult ice hockey league after a few years off and having a blast. Took my runs to the hills literally with hill repeats added to my runs along some dirt fire roads & seeing the results in my overall fitness. Cycling on the weekends only because damn its dark at 4:45 pm whats up with that?

Enjoying the brisk mornings and bright sunsets of winter, and looking forward to warmer days in a few months

Merry Christmas everyone

When I was young I loved to ice skate.  My husband did not take to it.  Our son enjoyed it but is was hard to make time to skate with his other activities.   I was thinking this week it would be fun to take the grandson.  I am past my prime and had a hip replacement this year but I cannot think of anything some special I would like to share with my grandson.  Things are now on lock down as his Mom has Covid and they are in quartine.  Maybe we could do it after quartine, I just don't know if I should try with the hip.  I would be happy just to see him give a go.
