^^ I have 2 pilates DVDs and they are great! I would highly recommend that you get one and try it.
You can get them off ebay for like $5 so why not just pick one at random and see how you go? If it turns out to be shit you can try another one :)

what ones do you have?

One is by Jeanette Jenkins, and it's my favourite. Her routines just flow really nicely and work each muscle group in an order that feels natural.
The other one is a Solomon yogalates one, it's better for the relaxation aspect of it rather than for breaking a mean sweat ;)

NB: The Solomon yogalates one is an Australian one so I don't think you'd be able to find it in the US.
 
Did nothing today, cos I have a cold/chest infection.
Felt bad.....really bad :(

I start my official training next week for my next half marathon, which is in March! I'm keen as beans =D
 
shoveled a foot of snow...

after working out with actually weights, I feel like a fat, soft, bloated shit now that I don't have access anymore :\

anybody know how to build a cheap squat rack?!

Threw some new music on my mp3 player and took about a two and a half mile walk around my neighborhood and through this little park/jogging path. That's the most I've done in a long time. Feels good, man. Droppin' forty pounds, one step at a time!
 
Ha, yeah, I've gained some weight. Mostly due to the combination of poor diet and inactivity lately. I'd have to drop twenty-five to thirty pounds to get down to where I was when I saw you in January and and thirty-five to forty to be back to as fit as I was a few years ago.

I'll get there. :)
 
Went for a run yesterday for the first time in like 3 weeks, nearly killed me hahaha.
Probably shouldn't have done it when I was sick but hey.

Went for another run today and it felt heeeaps better than yesterday.
Gearing up to begin my official training next week! Can't wait :)
 
Cycles full blown, up to 264lbs starting to really thicken out compared to my width. Today was biceps / calves / forearms .

cage sparring before.

loving life - waiting on the rest of my damn peptides to arrive already.
 
I am week three into boxing training and I am loving it. It has been 2 od years since I have done any type of serious training (other than riding my bike or the occasional light work out with a rope), and already I have striped down enough to show a six pack. I expected the first couple of sessions to hurt, not ignoring the guy training me is a patient who would love nothing better than to make me spew, but I have even impressed myself how quickly I have adapted to it.

I have really missed the pain since I stoppped playing rugby years ago. I miss pushing myself to exhaustion, gritting my teeth and seeing my opponent suffering more than me. I even miss the taste of bood in the back of my throat caused by my ribs bashing into something soft and squishy for some sick reason. I don't miss not being able to walk or having to take my arm out of a sling to treat an patient so hopefully I can avoid fracturing my hand and not have to take time off.

5.30am start tomorrow morning and I can't wait.
 
Good ole prison workout of 10 pullups followed by 20 pushups, repeated 3 times. Almost couldn't finish. This was my third workout in three weeks, I feel like shit but whatever. I'll get back on the horse sooner or later....
 
good stuff, busty! how many session a week is this course?

i know what you mean about the taste of blood in the back of your mouth, but never thought about where it's from.

today i hit my arms and chest, some back and shoulders. focused on freeweights, so good progress (pics to follow shortly in the pic thread).
 
I'm doing one proper gym session a week with some pretty tame sparring and 2-3 sessions at home with a rope and weights.

I plan on building my fitness up enough to take the hard core Saturday sessions in the New Year, although I took a few blows today that may have made me rethink my plan. ;)
 
love it, mang. love it, hard :D

when you said "week 3" i thought it might have been a five day full time kinda camp/training, like i did with sword training (a few times) and my mates have done with muay thai camps in thailand.

one day, dude. :)

This excites me greatly :) I know the exact enthusiasm you're describing re: getting back in to hardcore training!
Endorphins ahoy!
But ummm yeah, please don't fracture your hand. Or anything else for that matter.


Today I just did 30mins on the elliptical machine at lunchtime. Note to self: don't do any cardio at lunchtime. How many fucking times do I have to remind myself of this?! I sweat like a dirty mofo for the rest of the afternoon, especially when it's hot and muggy like today. Not fun at all.

Tomorrow I'm taking out my friend for her first ever 4km run. I think I've managed to rope her in to training to do the next half marathon with me (which is in 12 weeks). This will mean that I will have to sacrifice my goals of wanting to train as hard as I was planning to, because she's just a novice so we have to take it easy. But then hopefully, if she enjoys it, for the NEXT one we can go hard :)
