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

Just got back from the gym.

45 mins on treadmill
5 sets ab crunch machine
4 sets torso twist machine
5 sets lat row machine
5 sets dip machine
5 sets lat pulley pulldowns

Came home and had 4 eggs with whole grain toast and coffee.

Is it my imagination, or does food taste WAY better right after a workout?

Yeah I was thinking this as well.

I did not go to the gym for 930a for my Saturday exercise classes.
Coronas and late night dancing with the girls plus Burger King got the best of me last night.

No biggie. 60min spin class and 2 hour vigorous hike planned for tomorrow.
 
hour of exercises for legs/core. lots of squats and calf-raises, one-legged and two.

i know my body appreciates getting to build up for a little while, instead of being constantly torn down by running. my weight has almost immediately stabilized about ten pounds heavier. now if i could just fix this calf so i can go back to beating the hell out of myself . .

Nothing better than a satisfying shake when I get out of the gym... =D
 
easy 4 mile run.

not 100% pain free, but definitely felt better than the last time i tried running.
 
So, for morning cardio, I've done away with my 1 mile jog. Instead, I do 10 supersets--10 pull ups followed by 20 push ups. Much more fun than jogging, and I figure both burn ~ 100-200 calories.

So much more satisfying. Feeding that hunger that's built up from phsycial activity= awesome.

Funny you say that, I can't eat much after a workout.
I try to have a decent meal about an hour and half before hand.
After my workout though, food is the last thing I want, my body just doesn't feel like it. I don't know if it's that full feeling or what but I normally just have a banana or two and handful of roasted almonds and maybe some toast, just 'light food'. Otherwise, I'll have a protein shake and that's enough.

I've just been doing loads of cardio lately.
 
My workout for the day was carrying 80lb bundles of shingles up a ladder at work. As well as the whole labor aspect as well. Construction work with some gym style exercise has allowed me to reach good cuts in my musculature.
 
Legs/Traps

Front Squat 10,10,8,8
Hack Press 10,10,8,8
Barbell Dips 12, 12, 12
Leg Ext 12,12,12
Hamstring Curl 12,12,12
Hip Abd 15,15
Hip Add 15,15
Calf Raise 15,15,15
Barbell Trap 12,12
Cable Trap 15,15

...that was an intense one. But I took 4 days in a row off, so I owed myself a torture session.
 
30 min body-weight exercises for legs
4 mi run, easy/moderate

legs feel like concrete after spin yesterday.
 
nothing yet today, am going to start going to the gym again after I've paid this month's rent...

But usually it's some heavy gardening/yoga for a few hours.

Don't feel in the best of shape though - and after being ill, I lost 7lbs so need to get back on it.
