I just realised that I have the city 2 surf on in less than a week. If you dont know its one of the biggest runs in Australia.

Im not really prepared so Im going for a run tonght and then a pump class. I shouldnt think that I will do too badly in the run since I run a fair bit on the tread mill but who knows hey.
 
I rode to the pool- about 30 mins- 20 mins uphill, swam 2.5km, then rode home again. This is my daily routine at the moment, with the additional gym workout too (not tonight as i'm very sore from a 5 hour mountain walk last night in which we got lost in the dark!).

awesome ! Another squash (fanatic?) =D
I've been playing squash on average 3-4 times a week since January of this year....its the only sport that really gets my adrenaline pumping and does not bore me at all. Last night (saturday) I wasnt able to play, so I popped my "Kung Fu Tae-bo" DVD in the living room and sweated for a good 30 minutes. Whew havent done that in a while:)
 
Not today . . . I've been trying to get back into some semblance of a workout routine but the only thing I've really been doing is jogging three times a week for about a month now . . . now that I finally have a car of my own (scored that one today :D ) I'm going to get a membership to the local YMCA, I can go right after work cause its only like 10 miles away, they have full weights, three basketball courts, stationary bikes, a pool and a steam room so I think I'll enjoy it there :D
 
I went to my Spinning class today ( and am booked two months in advance for a certain number of sessions so I DONT flake out! I go once or twice a week depending on how many times I get to play squash which is my primary form of exercise :)) ......I was about 15 minutes late :X but I still managed to catch up with the class and work up a good sweat, completing the last four terrains.
Spinning is my favorite indoor aerobic activity....I used to go to Step-Class, Aero-Kickboxing and Tae-bo in the past and I really miss those routines....its just too bad the gyms where I am a member have discarded/replaced old programs with new stuff and/or good instructors that I have known for years. I have a couple of workout DVDs but I am so much more motivated when I am part of a class.

So unless another exercise class comes along that will give me the benefit of losing 500 calories per 40 minute session and NOT bore me at all, spinning it is for me. Anybody else here spin too?

You know I have always wanted to do a spinning class but never gotten around to it. It's on my to do before I leave the country list.

On topic... today I lifted some weights and did a bit of upper body. Very low impact because i don't want to start my gums bleeding again (wisdom teeth out last week). I feel uber slack because I had to miss my netball game last night, will miss another one tonight because I'm still too sore and I have been existing on basically just ice cream and custard since friday.

I sure will have some catchup to do next week :)
 
Squats
Barbell Incline Bench
Bent Over Barbell Rows
Close Grip Underhand Chins
Weighted Hanging Leg Raises

Bleh, leg's are hammered.
 
I got food poisoning and threw up ten times in one day. Horrid yes..but my abs were really rock hard when I woke up this morning!
Ill get back to my regular workouts soon and post them here.
 
Okay, today I did 4 sets of ten push ups..with my hands in different positions to work different muscles. I did arm reps with 10 and 15 pound weights. I did lunges with weights and then I did about 50 sit ups, and some crunches to the side, as well as lying on my back and lifting my legs forward and up (not sure what this is called but it works the lower back and lower abs). Yay me!
 
i jogged for half hour on tread mill and then another half an hour on the arc trainer 2 excellent cardio machines that keep me fit. then idid some stretching.....it felt sooooo good.
 
Finally benched 200 lbs last week, a little goal I set myself.

Frusration galore at the moment. Forearm injury preventing me from gyming. Not a happy camper!!!
 
back and traps...

rev/grip hammer strength row 2x8

wide rev/grip lat pulldown 2x8

close grip cable row 2x8

close grip lat pull down 2 x10

traps shrug 4x8
 
I did two miles at the track today, some walking, some jogging, some sprints.
Yesterday I did weights, push ups, sit ups, leg lifts and lunges. Didnt keep track of the amounts.
 
ahhhh I had one of the best spinning workouts EVER....you know what I mean, when somedays your workout is just so-so, and other days its FANTASTIC. Like super sweaty, heart racing, endorphins shooting out of your head fantastic.
Fifty minutes of spinning, ten minutes of stretching. =D
 
25 minutes on the treadmill (2.37km... not sure how much that'd be in miles). So far, that's my daily "workout".

I am in desperate need of a workout plan. I work out with weights, but not consistently (one day workout, break for three days, workout two days in a row... pretty sporadic). Gonna be poking around these boards for some ideas...
