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

[silentscience]

25 minuets of intense running up a hill on the treadmill.

 

[DHYANA]

(spinning, HIIT, weights, swimming, mtn biking, etc.).

do you find it helpful at all to do weights so randomly? It seems to me it would be much more beneficial to get on a steady routine.

 

[activesight]

Several hours of intense keyboard typing and mouse clicking. And to think, I used to workout 4 times a week. What happened? =[

 

[DHYANA]

start again

what are you waiting for!

Give me 3 sets of 20 pushups right now!

 

[Perpetual Indulgence]

45 min spin
55 min Pilates

I did my 'buffet workout' again today, but was able to add 5-10 lbs to every single exercise. This low rep/high weight stuff is pretty effective! Who knew?

Also-- good to see you back DHY!

God, tonight's workout was a disaster. It was leg-day, so of course I spent the afternoon getting scared....

Squat 4x8
Then I am not joking, a pompous new trainer came over and wanted to "chat." The man did not know how to take a hint, neither that I wear an mp3 player for a reason, and that I don't have $200 a month for personal training. And then he starting talking about being a mormon....Sent me into a bad mood.
Leg Press - oh wait, the leg press machine is broken So I have to use the backup leg press machine, which I HATE because it's one of those units where if you fail on a rep, you're f*cking trapped. So I managed 4x10, but couldn't go as heavy as I wanted
lunges 3x15 per leg
leg extension 4x10
hammstring curl 4x10
calf raises - oh wait no, the calf raise machine was ALSO BROKEN
hip adductor 4x10
barbell shrug 4x12
dumbell shrug 3x15

I think I am the only person that does traps on leg day.

 

[Retrospect]

I haven't done much recently.. I'm just starting to get back into things. I haven't actually lifted in over year, but I still am in great shape.. or better put: I am very content w/ where i'm at.

Last nite, I done a coup. hundred controled pushups, I guess.. N worked on my abs quite abit (crunches & sets of 8, etc.)

Just quit smoking april 1st, so that should benefit me quite abit with summer coming.

 

[messerschmied01]

I ran seven miles.

 

[ThaiDie4]

my workout routine is that I don't work out, teehee..

but I ran 1.5 miles on Sat. morning because I was bored! My legs still hurt haha.

I used to run on the cross-country team and could pound out 7 mile jogs like a cake-walk... now im stuggling with a mile... ehhh ive gotten pathetic.

my lifting/HIIT isn't really random. it's more those aerobic workouts where i'll do whichever one i feel like if it's not a running day.

i generally lift once a week during my aerobic/base-building phase (not a lot of gains to be had at 70 mi/wk anyway), and then move it up to twice a week when i get into my anaerobic phase. i also shift my focus depending on the distances i'll be racing.

in terms of everything except the shorter track races (800m/1600m), my weight-lifting goals are largely just core fitness and injury prevention anyway.

.....

today was just a quick up-hill HIIT session. was planning on a rest day, but that never happens.

i really like body-weight and one-legged squats. i've started doing an exercise class at the gym that uses a lot of squats, leaps, hill-climbers, etc. -- it's amazing how great of a workout you can get w/o using any weights at all.

 

[Nibiru]

Moved a fuckload of rocks, built stuff in my yard with 'em.

 

[double ewe]

60 min exercise class (BW exercises for legs + abs + arms w/ max. 10 sec rest)
4 mi fartlek run

had a ton of energy following a few light days, so the fartlek was a lot of fun. trying to get comfortable maintaining faster paces w/o taking too much of a toll on my legs.

i'm starting to get that "chomping at the bit" feeling whenever i do speed-work . . . feels good.
