What'd you do to get off your butt today? v. "That's not real exercise!"

[rangrz]

45 mins of lifting and an hour of hand to hand/CQB drills (in all my kit which makes it a lot harder cause I'm trying to move and stay balanced with 50 pounds of junk strapped to me)

I exercised my mind today on a film shoot. Very stressful.

I also hit the gym.

 

[L2R]

bought a basketball for my stay here in china. the courts are bloody packed all day, managed to squeeze myself in to shoot a few. not too strenuous. ... oh did a handfull of pullups shortly after lunch, but i was fairly drunk then.

 

[Perpetual Indulgence]

I ran for 45 minutes with the dog in -3C doing laps on the ATV trails behind our house.
The hills back there are just as challenging as the trails I drive 15 minutes to.
*smacks head* I cannot believe I haven't done this before.

 

[rangrz]

5km in ~22~ mins.

outdoor in city, so a bit easier then offroad trails.

 

[nAON]

i jogged with my dog for about 15 mins

you guys are making me look horribly unhealthy

 

[Shimmer.Fade]

If you live in the US, chances are that you are !

Any movement is good movement though. Gotta stay in shape when you are already a bit fit, because it is much harder the more you get out of shape!

 

[max_]

Gotta say I've been incredibly lazy lately. It's a task just to get out of bed before noon-this frigid weather doesn't help, nor does the fact that it's dark before 4:30. Today, with 10+ hours of work, I'll be lucky to walk to the library... a 15 min walk (30 min round trip). BUT I will force myself to make the move.

 

[L2R]

a real nice run around on the bball court. worked up a sweat and short breath. dunno how severe this pinky finger sprain is, though. owie. swelly. bruisy. thought i'd broken it tbh.

 

[cheetahrunwild]

This morning:

5 push ups
15 hand stands with a few push up hand stands
20 push ups
10 side crunches

Waiting for Mr Hedges to set up a workout machine his pops gave us, yay! I am healthy and at a low weight but since it is winter and I can't go on walks every day I am trying to implement core exercising. I have way too much energy for this kind of weather!

 

[Perpetual Indulgence]

^^Then get outside and dress for it!
This will be my first winter trail running. I hike all year long.

question: If i've been sedentary for a while and smoke cigs, is it possible if I jump into cardio that I'll just keel over and die? it can be pretty straining on my chest if I don't start slow from what i remember in previous experience

 

[GordanMilky]

What got me up and out of my house was that uncomfortable, persistent feeling in your legs where you cant stop stretching them. A good stretch feels good, but when it gets to the point where the second you stop stretching you feel the need to stretch again, its time to workout.

I wouldn't recommend starting out strenuously. Especially if you have asthma as a result of smoking. Start out with some light aerobic exercise like swimming/speed walking. Its healthier on your body anyways.

Right on about bundling up and going outside to exercise in the cold. I love winter hikes, they are even better than summer ones most of the time. Just layer up. Getting fresh air in winter is what keeps me going.


Today I walked to the grocery store to get stuff for dinner and then back... was 4 miles round trip.

Yesterday walked hills for 30 min at lunch, then after work ran 2 miles, did stair climbs over the freeway, then came home and did some hooping.

My hip effing KILLS!! I have always had issues with it. The joint just hurts and it gets so tight, but if I stretch the hip flexor, it hurts 100000 times worse. The only thing that helps is giving it some rest, but that kind of kills my effort to exercise every day. Blah..
