[IntimacyAddict]

^ yeah i love the water, actually no sharks today which is unusual for this area. must be their day off. yeah that gif - the real thing was almost as good.

 

[Pagey]

Lol that's the reason I can never jump/skip
Can't believe the chick in the gif is doing it, it's quite painful

Anyway today I went to the gym like every day and did 20mn treadmill/10mn rowing machine/20mn exercise bike/10mn bench presses/weights + an hour walk to and from uni

 

[amanda_eats_pandas]

Biked.
Bench press. Ohp. Db rows. Tricep extensions.

 

[L2R]

bicep, back and lats day.

my legs felt like electricity was shooting through them all morning. ah, sweet blessed doms.

Also, saw someone down the beach today skipping as exercise, not seen anyone do that for years but was fun to watch.

you've never entered a boxing gym then, amateur or pro. it was an essential part of our workout.

I knew boxer's used to do it, wasn't sure if they still did. Not seen it though for ages - I found it a tough exercise to do for any length of time.

 

[L2R]

it's still a main staple of boxing. a mate of mine reckons it's a harder cardio workout than running.

I'm not sure it even counts but I hula hooped for 20 minutes today.

the action seems to use more muscle groups with a greater intensity (the upward thrust of the skip) so it seems like a good bet. I usually feel it a lot in my calf muscles after skipping for long distances.

 

[LOGan1314]

One hour back and bicep.

its still big in sports, hurdlers, boxers, tennis players, heaps common. double jumps are bloody great!

 

[L2R]

i love skipping, but i hate the rope colliding with the tips of my toes.

I feel ya. Or when your having an uncoordinated day and can't get more than 3 skips in a row

 

[Perpetual Indulgence]

6 of us went on a 4 mile night trail run in -6C. No wind. Not bad at all to run in and too cold to stop very long. Icy spots...tricky.

Can't imagine running in those temperatures, 26°c is a cold day for me. Would be great incentive to keep running though :D

 

[L2R]

yeah nice one pi!

today was lovely chest/tricep day.

 

[Pagey]

so is that your workout today pagey?

Yep, every evening I indulge in some Robert Plant fabulousness to keep me going

 

[DOB]
