How did YOU work out today?? Yes..YOU!

Not open for further replies.
I cycled to work today, done it 3 times this week so not too bad.
I'm working somewhere new next week and I won't be able to cycle there so I'm going to have to work out another way to get some decent exercise.
Reakky I want to buy a x-trainer to use at home, maybe I should start saving up.
 
Podrunner 5-3. I didn't make it the full 20 minutes. It's 34 degrees out and by the time I got to 17.5, I could barely breathe. And that's with a mask. I'm disappointed on one hand, but on the other, I ran 17.5 minutes without stopping (in the frigid cold!), which is waaay more than I could run before and I'm proud of that. I'm going to repeat the week so by this time next week, I'll have run the full 20. I gave myself nearly a month of leeway for just this reason. Hopefully I sail through the rest of the time.
 
Shoulders / Arms -

Clean to Push Press - 135 lbs x 50 reps (took a few sets)
Superset no rest - upright row, front raise, military press, delt row, curl, tricep extension 20 lbs, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45
side cable raise 25 30 35
cable curl/pd superset 100 110 120 130 140
dips - 50

All of that in about an hour. The 6 exercise superset is the hardest part. 6 sets of that and I was about to pass out lol.
 
I walked the dog!

sounds really lame I know but this is about the extend of my work outs (besides my beloved swimming) for the next last few months till I get the baby out--and FYI walking uphill with an extra 30 pounds on you is not easy!! But it feels great to sweat a little and get my heart rate up :)
 
You gained 30 lbs already and still have 3 months to go? Yikes. Just thinking about getting that weight off would freak me out. Are you going to breast feed?
If I were to want to get pregnant, I would be working out all the way through with a pregnancy fitness personal trainer on the side.

Yesterday 45 min spinning 60 minutes weight training (heavy) 2 hours cleaning the house.
Today 60 min spinning class and MAYBE walk the dog for 30 minutes. It is COLD here.
 
here goes:
-ran three miles
-15 minutes of conditioning alternating with 15 minutes of stretching for 1 hour
-30 minutes on the parallel bars

Kinda hard when you're throwing up everyday...:\

According to my mother in law who didn't even know she was pregnant until she was 5 months along already she continued to teach an aerobics class up until her 7-8th month (where I'm at now) Before she knew she was preggo she waterskied, did kickboxing, etc And she only gained about 20lbs (she says 15 but I dont believe her:) ) I wish I had had the energy to do all that, but I found out when I was only one month along mostly because I couldn't get my ass out of bed I was so sick. I told myself once I felt better I would start working out more--which I did with swimming and long long walks, streches and very mild weight lifting. Lately though the walks have been shorter and its been a little harder getting into my bathing suit lol. I still strech and lift 2lb weights. I will be breastfeeding which will help shrink my uterus and someone is giving me an eliptical machine later this month to also help get the baby weight off. Now if I could just figure out how to get rid of the stretch marks...
 
I did around 40 pull ups, 30 chin-ups, and 40 neutral pullups on my iron gym haha im getting ripped... no joke that shit's sick.

i got it for christmas and could barley do 1 pull up haha good shit
 
Oh dear I do not envy you.

One of my co-workers looked like Grimace (the McDonald's character who likes shakes) in her 8th month. However, she housed a 1lb of M&M's at work...daily.
I can only imagine how she ate at home. Eating for two excuse.

Not hot.

Oh yeah, I went to a 45min spinning class tonight. I won a 60min personal training session. I have that appt tomorrow night!
 
Well, I'm proud to say that I finally got my ass to the gym today. However, I'm less proud to say that it's been nearly a month since I've set foot in the gym. And even less proud to say that I got wallopped just by doing around half of my usual routine.

Serves me right for being lazy I guess.
 
had a 4 mile fitness test that had to be made in under 28 minutes followed by an hour lifting session for our soccer team:

bb squat - 4x10 (135, 175, 205, 245)
100 crunches
bb bench - 4x10 (95, 135, 185, 205)
100 trunk twists
high pulls - 4x10 (95, 135, 155, 175)
50 full body situps
 
Last night 60 min personal training....loved it! If I could afford it I would do it weekly. Hmmm, maybe I could swing it once a month.

Tonight after work 45 min spinning 30 min Yoga 30 min sculpting

Friday...DAY OFF!! Unless my hubbie is feeling better then I will lift heavy with him :)
 
50 chinups
9 sets of pulldowns (3 overhand 3 underhand 3 closegrip up to 220 lbs)

The personal training session was great. I was nervous that I couldn't meet the challenge. I think I did. I felt good. I was sore for the next 2 days but I worked it out the next 2 days with spinning class.
If you haven't tried a personal trainer and you are looking to energize your routine and maximize your effort in 60 minutes, I recommend it.

I did my usual Sat 45 min spin 60 min sculpt 60 min clean the house :)
Sun 60 min spin and laze about the house.
 
well i was SUPER lazy today... but i thought i'd add to your comments PI... spinning class is so fun! i've been doing it a few times this week and i'm hooked. i always ride in the summer on trails and whatnot but i have never done the indoor thing. it was great! im going back tomorrow.
