What did you do to get off your butt today? vs. "Butt's off the floor!"

[L2R]

aint been to the gym since november and it's been killing me. ... lost a lot of gains, been called skinny by a few different people.. finally got a chance to hit my small apartments gym downstairs tonight.

surprisingly, i didn't lose as much as my strength as i did my size. had a good chest, lats and tricep workout.

5-5-5-2 deadlifts, with 10 x 24" unstable box jump immediately after each set

400m jog

400m jog

1.5 hours Krav Maga.

Nice! I used to train Krav Maga and I remember how intense those classes were! I want to get back into that once I can afford going to a studio again.

^^ Nice! Are they good workouts? What kind of stuff do you do in them?

They are awesome. Mainly targeted to stomach, hips and thighs (as they are my personal target spots).

I do Sumo Squats; Lunges; Running Arms; Double and Single Knee Punch High Jogging; Thigh Kicks and loads of others. I don't know if they're widely recognized moves, I'll try to YouTube some for everyone's reference.

It's high intensity interval training, and like Tabata has me sweating and working hard for the entire time. :D

Went on this jacked up elliptical thing earlier today. Then I did some chest and tricep work. Went easy on my left shoulder though, lengthening my movements so that I don't re-injure myself.

Ran a few miles, and found the P90X stretching dvd that I thought I lost so I popped that in for an hour.

Went to the gym twice yesterday. Wanted the extra cardio, I guess.

Had a nice two mile medium run (~6mph) and walk last night.

I have started walking to work every morning. Only takes 30-45 minutes and I noticed that I have a lot more energy during the day now.

Did 40 minutes on two different kinds of elliptical, then about 10 minutes of lifting.

That's my favorite temperature! It's been 30C here every day, with 100% humidity. 8)

I did another Michelle Bridges workout tonight.

It does. I just weighed myself this morning also, I have lost 7 pounds since I started doing this and that's without really changing my diet.. not a bad bonus. When it gets a little warmer out I am going to start walking home also.
