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

[Mehm]

moar surfing. 9 foot waves are scary :D

 

[sunyata]

all I've rode are little 4 foot east coast waves

(soon to change when I go to Bali this summer )

 

[MynameisnotDeja]

I did a yoga class on DVD. Good stuff!
I'm going to start doing it 5 days a week.

 

[spacefacethebassace]

3 15 minute (10 minutes?) romps in the hay, with short breaks in between...could feel yesterday's 5 mile run in my ass and lower back.

Sexercise for the win.

^one of the best Recreational Activities around.

yesterday:

15 min warm-up
10 x 125m sprint w/ 100m rest
15 min cool-down

today:

80 min long run (~13 miles)

felt strong through 60 min, and held it together really well on the last 20. border-line delirious now though.

 

[puckboy]

Running/hiding from the police...... seriously lol

 

[euphoria]

Rode bike for about 10-12 miles, not really sure how far but it felt great.

 

[Perpetual Indulgence]

55 min high intensity interval training
50 min Zumba

Core core core. I was supposed to start a new workout, but my trainer had to run 'to the hospital'. Interesting that a crucial hockey game happens to be on when I'm supposed to be training with him. He'd better be in a fucking sling when I see him next, or I'm dropping his ass.

Let's see...

Today I did shoulder/arm workout with the 10 pound weight and a few smaller weights too. I'm getting better!

+2 sets of 12 pushups (pathetic, push ups are SO hard for me!)
+20 minutes of dance
+40 lunges
+20 squats
+stretching/cool down

Does anyone know how to work the tops of the shoulders and the upper back? That's my weakest area and I really want to improve it.

 

[Perpetual Indulgence]

there is a shoulder thread somewhere...also check out www.womenshealthmag.com

Sounds like you're talking about the "traps".

In which case, overhead lifting, bent over rowing, shrugs and deadlifts seem to be the most common approach.

 

[sunyata]

All with DBs

floor press

row

clean+press

feels good man

NotDeja, for shoulders you should do OH Presses, Rows, Chinups, lateral raises, front raises, deadlifts. This will work all aspects of the shoulder girdle.

Also, you might want to check out 'scapular pushups' (google it, since its kinda hard to explain). They might be perfect for you now.

 

[Perpetual Indulgence]

60 min circuit training class

 

[double ewe]

15 min warm-up
60 min hill bounding/striding
15 min cool-down

 

[chicpoena]

Stretched, light yoga, ellipticalled for 30 mins, stretched again, more light yoga.

Pretty weak day!

I avoided the 9 footers like they were angry gun wielding crazy gorillas. Rode some smaller ones though, lol

I was just reading one break has rides that can go up to 300m long on good days. 300 METERS!!!!!!!!!!!! like whaaaaaaaaaat I can't even imagine that

oh and to stay on topic, I am repeating my workout from yesterday with 5lbs added. Just maintenance stuff as I'm sorta low on test right now (natural again!).

 

[Mehm]

^^Central coast actually, about 230 miles south of SF. Thanks though, the waves always look a lot smaller from the beach

Bali is going to be soooooooo sick. 300m! damn, how big does it get? Reef break or what? BTW, please don't get thrown in prison for E or some stupid ish.. I've heard some bad stories.
