What did you do to get off your butt today? vs. "Butt's off the floor!"

^ What are "circadian rhythms", if you don't mind me asking?

Got up at 7:30am today and got to the gym at 8am. Speedwalked and jogged for 20 minutes (trying to get my body to like running, dammit!), then worked out the good old bust:

60lb dumbbell chest presses
bodyweight dips (on the side of the bench)
Machine chest presses, 50lb
35lb dumbbell fly
Incline chest press, 40lb

Was about to leave the gym when suddenly... SPINNING!

So I did an hour of spinning today, as well. :D

my bad - that shouldn't be plural. Also if you have no idea, why don't you look it up?!

Today I have gone for a power walk (well, I do a lot of walking...I NEVER include that in here! Hmmm...) in the morning for half an hour.

Did 45 squats just before lunch.

About to start my daily isometrics in a min, and will follow it up with my dips and start my pushup work-out again later this evening if I'm not being a social creature.

Because I beat you up a little bit in the other thread. ;)

Moreover, when it's something I have no idea what it's about, I like to get an insider's opinion on what to look for first before hitting the Google button.

Is it dealing with the right sort of timing to exercise?

Went to the gym yesterday morning, completely forgetting that I had work in the morning. hahaha, I'm so glad I work so close to home!

Hit the elliptical for half an hour and did back workout afterward (before realizing what time I had to be at work, of course).
 
Yesterday I went ice skating with the person above me who forgot to mention it in her post. :p

It's the most active I've been in awhile, so I'm counting it as exercising. :-/

This weekend has been rest-filled as we've had house guests :) It's been lovely, but we'll be back on the horse tomorrow.

nah it's your body clock pretty much...if your body is tuned into nature properly then 5-6 is the optimal time to exercise/work really hard.

Done upper body isometrics, after a few miles powerwalking.
 
This week just gone I've spent walking (hiking and plain walking up hills) and wandering all over Auckland.
My bum and legs are still sore, haha. :)

I just did two full cardio boxing classes and two fitness games. Sore legs are more sore now! Lots of kicking. My FAVOURITE. :D

- 50 min. elliptical (wanted to do 60 but the gym was completely empty besides my husband & I and the staff were eyeing us to get out :\)
- 30 min. walk to/from
 
I know I don't tend to think of house/yard work as exercise BUT this time I shall. I moved and stacked 3 large piles of wood and carried heavy stumps up a small hill. This was after the cross fit work out and I am sore all over.

Today 2 mile run.
