today is upper body day...

I'll do chest presses, shoulder presses, rows, lat pulldowns, curls, skullcrushers, and lat raises. also I'll probably run somewhere between 1.5 and 2 miles depending on how I feel.

^ start simple and track it so you can see your improvement.

I'm a lazy bastard who's out of shape, and I do that when need to get back in a routine (never go to gym). So, here's how I do it: start with a notebook/paper to chart it. Have several columns (date, pushups, situps, aerobic, etc).

Each day do some exercises (don't kill yourself, start small). And then the next day try to just match it, or do one better (ie 24-25 pushups if you did 24 pushups the last day). Slowly increase.

You can track your weight on the same paper, and there won't be much of a change at first, but it will slowly start moving as you get more advanced.

Today i re-started my routine: situps, pushups, and stretches/lifting with 5 and 10lb dumbbells. I'll walk to work today for some aerobic.

It feels good to workout.

Cool, just that simple paragraph has actually give me some motivation!
I've been checking out yoga youtubes but that is the extent.. Cheers!
 
Today is an "off day". Had to go do a little something after work though.

Did some real easy ab work. Trying to cut down a little bit around that area. My abs are barley visible right now. You can basically only see the indents.

Also did some hammer pullups, just trying to give the arms a little extra work. Did some pushups and a few jumps onto a ledge. Did this all at a playground. The kids are all on spring break.

Cut off a little fat around the area, my abs are visible but not the most defined. I can work them pretty easily, but a bit of fat from my bulk is covering it up.

Anyways I just did upper body stuff today

You do know spot-reduction is a myth, right?


Today I did some advanced tuck front lever negatives, inverted chin ups, single legs squats, half GHR, and grip work.
 
not really working out but i took my dogs for a long walk on the beach. its been really windy so surfing isn't in the cards for at least a few more days. epic winter though
 
nothing today, 15 mile bike ride and hike tomorrow.

is there a reason this is the only thread that is left open well after 1000 posts?

All that would need to happen would be someone starting a new Work Out thread (vs 2.0), and a mod closing this thread.


And, as simple as that sounds, the fact is, for a bunch of exercise fanatics, we all seem to have a disconcerting lack of initiative.
 
yesterday i took acid, fasted and avoided water all day, and meditated on a rock in central park. between meditation sessions i would stand on one leg and practice active meditative breathing. this requires a lot of experience, dont try it at home!

the next morning i had slept for 5 hours, woke up, ate a grapefruit, brushed my teeth, and went to a kung fu forms class for 2 hours.

my body is actually quite strong, but my spirit is quite cleansed and refreshed. was an amazing attempt to test not only my physical conditioning, but my mental and spiritual conditioning as well.

That sounds awesome man. I love how psychedelics can show you what you're capable of. Anything is possible when you act from the soul, there are no limits, no impossibilities. I like to dance or skate when I trip and whenever, out of habit, I think of calling it a day, I think "Why stop?" and just keep going. Same goes for breathing, every inhale and exhale I just think, "Why stop?" and just 'take it in, and in, and in..." :)

Anyway, today I went on a run, the longest I've gone since I started running daily about a week ago. It could be anywhere from 2-5 miles, I really can't measure distance well that way. I'm amazed at how much progress I've made from day to day. My first day running it was a feet just to get going. It's had a great impact on my overall health too. My heart and lung are functioning top notch and my muscles are stronger and more resilient. Not to mention endurance...

Did not.

Since I've stopped consuming the massive cal weight gainers every morning and switched it to lower cal MRE's the body fat has really cut down and my abs are showing again.

I put around 15ish pound of muscle this winter, really proud of myself.

Yesterday did

Squats
Seated Military Press (First time)
Chinups

also hit the calves, and did the bicep and tricep machine

Today just going to do some cardio and hit the abs!

Will not be walking outside because the "tea party express" is stopping downtown today..
 
Did an hour of Ashtanga, finishing a few minutes ago - concentrating mostly on poses that really stretch out my hamstrings. Feel pretty nice...nowhere NEAR as nice as a full 2 hour session - truest physical high I've ever felt.
 
eek, 2 hours of ashtanga!? that would kill me! totally envious though. i would be hapy if i had the willpower to work up to that.. !
 
straight out of my log


HeSPU @ 5" 1x4 2x5 - First set was surprisingly tough, next were alot easier. Probably should have warmed up.

Frogstand 3x20seconds

One arm knee push ups - 3x3 R 2x1 1x2 L

Weighted planks 57.5x2x1:00 - Nothing but sheer grit and determination took my through the last 10 seconds of the second set without sagging my back.

Back extensions 45x1x5 45x3x10 - Wow, that was easy. Hamstrings felt it around the 3rd set, fairly mild discomfort but I dont know if it will get worse. Think I'll still switch to RLL and start light next workout.

CoC trainer 30/20 R 18/14

Rice bucket closed fist rotation 2x50 - Held a medium sized roll of tape in my hand while doing this, really took it up a notch.
 
Woke up at 5am.
drank Creatine/Caffeine booster and headed to the gym.
~Swam 20 minutes, side stroke and freestyle.
~Worked Chest on 4 free weight machines. 3 set of descending reps on each station 10,8,6
went home, drank 1 scoop of 26g Whey Protein Isolate and Whey Protein Concentrates
then I started my day
