3 x ~8 Wide grip pull-ups (burn set after each normal set)
3 x ~8 Cable rows (burn set after each normal set)
3 x ~8 narrow grip pull-ups (burn set after each normal set)
3 x ~8 standing lat pushdowns
3 x ~8 dumbell rows (burn set after each normal set)
3 x 10-20 deadlift

That's it.. I wanna do some cardio but the weather is BAD and I hate doing cardio in the gym, it's just too damn boring.

finishing today just over half hour ago, I tried yoga...high.

I smoked a pinner of organic Bubblegum then ate a coupla satsumas and then some blended fruit juices and a pint of water - then began.

INSTANT FLEXIBILITY downwards on the exhale.

Only drawback, is because I don't do enough cycling at the mo, I need to take bigger pauses between the asanas than before...really great experience - will certainyl be doing a high session of yoga once a week from now on.

WOW. THat was a good 50 minute practice. Followed by an uber healthy meal. I feel sated.
 
I ate some healthier things today...lots of vegetables, fruit, and soy milk. Is there any exercise I can do to help heal a fractured hand?

hiked ten miles with a small pack to a 7000 foot peak (started at 5100 though), camped out and had a fire, woke up, watched the sunrise, walked the ten miles back.

my kind of work out =D


didnt have much time to work out today... quick run thru the hood.. including some trails in the park nearby. got super muddy, it was fun.
 
chest and triceps
15 min on the stepper
15 running on the treadmill

I fucking hate cardio machines but I did not feel like driving out of my way to get to a class.

Double ewe, you seem to do alot of LSD so this may interest you:

that's wild! not as counter-intuitive as it seems though . . distance runners (especially at higher mileage) also show more fragile immune systems. i could see the repetitive, low-intensity stress not being so great on the heart as well.

personally, the LSD (long slow distance) part of my training is a necessary evil. i need the aerobic endurance to hold ridiculous paces for a mile or three, but a larger portion of my training is more dynamic in terms of pace and muscle use. plus i like going fast way more than i like plodding along for three hours.

i also don't run for my health. at the peak of my training, i'm ten pounds underweight and sore all the time, so it's pretty obvious that it's not going to make me superman. i run to win races, so i guess i can add heart disease to chafed balls and joint problems on the list of shit i'll put up with to get there.

yessir/maam, its my last 6 days in arizona before i return to my bug infested Maine homeland for a time. tomorrow i will do the same hike, camp at the same place (where i found an abandoned folding chair far off trail :)) then do 20 or so miles the next day and 10-15 the third, gotta love the outdoors:D
 
that is excellent! i have never hiked in arizona, but do hope to soon. and im a ma'am, btw :) hiking is my favorite workout ever. i love going on long 20 mile hikes. its so intense, and its so cleansing both physically and mentally. im kind of a nature freak. do you hike/camp alone?

i used to go with friends/girlfriends, but since i moved out here its mostly been alone (aside from some day hikes with roommates), however hiking alone is a great activity in itself. hiking is arizona is one of my favorite aspects of this state:), but will be glad to get outta here and into california for a bit, i live in the high desert so its half desert/half forest kinda thing which is really nice (though i must say i really miss the dense forests of maine). in the place im in now the town is surrounded by trails. i too am a bit of a nature freak

decided to postpone the trip till tomorrow, its supposed to get to near freezing tonight, its so weird how im in the desert but its still this cold in may :\

woke up in a strange place four miles from my car. so my morning run was four miles in loafers and the clothes i went out in the night before.

afternoon was a pretty low-key track workout. stride/speed drills mostly.
 
Started a new program today. Uses only a barbell and everything else is body weight exercises. Had to cheat and use the smith machine for squats as im not confident with squatting atm as I have very weak legs/glutes.

Squat 5x5 (45kg)
Bench Press 5x5 (40kg)
Inverted Rows 6,6,5 (3 sets x until failure)
Push-ups 10,8,6 (3 sets x until failure)
Reverse Crunch 3x12
 
45 mins of Ashtanga this morning... will do another hour after I have been out and about.

THought I was going to get trampled in this cow field I was practicing in when I was coming down!! hahaha...farmer was laughing.

Really limbering up and my balance is getting better by the week...wonder what it was that sent my balance off. :\
 
Squats
Military Press
Chinups
Dips

some machine work.

Kinda been slacking and only hitting the gym 2 times a week (hard, fullbody workouts)... need to make sure I get there one time a week more.

My arms are really starting to respond, my thighs are bigger and out of proportion so I need to slow down on the leg work, seems like they respond better then anything else.

Really starting to discover I am not as much of a hardgainer as I thought I was...
