Some people just have thicker core's so this might make it look like you have a pot belly. Otherwise just start smashing the cardio and you should see it begin to disappear 

I'm in the same boat.    You need to pop in absanity or ab ripper x or do that dragon sit up or whatevers it's called.    But is your normal work out, full body or just chest and arms?  

Anything with too much tools and what not contraptions just turns me off and looks pretty stupid like how you see things in those info commercials.  Keep things simple people.  

Yeah, ummmm, thanks SnowBat... we get it, the thread you created for your product is enough.

I need to clear out the garage so I can use the pull up station and beat up Bob.  

 

Went out for a run early this morning, followed by some core workouts and plyometrics, then headed to the beach for the first beach volleyball session of the summer. Nice breeze all day, got a good sweat going, super tired and got burnt. Love it!

Gonna keep walking on my knee and also go on the elliptical later on tonight!

Maybe Hana loves her succulent cankles.    But yeah, I haven't worked out in like a week but I'm still keeping to my no carb diet, but I'll need to work out to get rid of that lower belly fat.  

Haha...well just feeling the leg you can totally tell the difference in muscle tone.  My left quad feels a lot more squishy than the right.

I finally managed to get on the elliptical today for 15min.  My legs were tired   I wasn't able to do the machine for quads and hamstrings because the knee gave me issues.

Prob will try to strengthen those without using that machine.

damn.. looks like no one has been working out...!

I hit the gym today climbed a couple of 5.10b's felt like i was gonna slip out on so many occasions. but i made it. felt pretty good. I think my shoulder is holding up better again! so happy about that..but I have to be careful not to mess it up again..but its feeling stronger anyway.. doesn't hurt like it did when I reach behind my back., worked my rotator cuffs a little and did my chin-ups today. I will try to wake up and do a class tmr morning as well =D

According to parkour experts or whatevers, apparently if you're getting blisters from the bars then you're doing it wrong, bad technique.  You're holding onto the bar too much which is why you're blistering up, you're suppose to release a little off the bar when you swing back.

I've only just recently seen them and had wrist issues so haven't had a crack yet. Been spending too much time watching videos on youtube but on the other hand it provides some great workout inspiring stuff

Tmr will be a full of activities.

Check some Hannibal the King videos the guy is a monster. Their strength is crazy and they're completely shredded. 

What will become of me??

So far I've been going to a class everyday, every morning ( except fridays and Mondays) now that my membership is done. I'm contemplating whether or not to continue with another service.. i might but still deciding...if i wanna give em my monies.

If you stick to the protein and fat and stay away from or just seriously limit the carbs at the AYCE places you'll be fine.  Contrary to popular belief, fat and protein do not make you fat, carbs do.  Also, do some squats and deadlifts.  

That's close enough to jump over my head.  

Wow that'd be about 4.5feet? That's very impressive!! I fit the bill of white man can't jump extremely well haha

why so sleepy all the time.

Not sure of scientific names etc but it's basically stretching using movement. Like to stretch out the hamstrings you could sing your leg in a kicking motion obviously starting smaller and gradually getting bigger. Things like that

i used to stretch before any activity I do.. well other than going biking...

I would stretch before I climb or go boarding but doing it less and less or even not at all..my excuses are because i'm lazy and it takes up too much time.

But its really a good idea to do them stretches after as well. Helps with the healing process of your muscles. Also important before to keep going longer and prevent injuries..

Laziness is such a huge hurdle at times

went to shoot some hoops again today! pulled out my new shoes, quite happy with them so far. already excited to go back again next week just to shoot around.. maybe I'll find somewhere on the street to play as well.. humm we'll see

My traps! they're getting knotty? naughty? bitch...

Before exercise you should do dynamic stretching to warm the muscles up. Then static stretching post workout

Latest advice is to warm-up before activities and stretch after. Pre-exercise stretching seems to be of limited, if any benefit in reducing injuries and I doubt it would have any effect on DOMS.

It may be a while before a consensus is reached on this issue, if ever.

I've been doing my morning classes as per usual but it was a little different this week did some other variation of pilates.. it was difficult doing the core exercises, so hard to keep balance but something I want to keep on trying to kill it! Didn't do anything today though... kinda of a resting day.. but even so.. I'm feeling tired every single day..

Chiro... kind of a disappointment but its business.. sigh.

Kinda of excited for tomorrow tho! gonna get a friend to go hahah wonder what he'll think, hopefully this will get him off his ass and get active.

Today I took a rest day since I was feeling so sluggish and the last 2 days I slept 10hr+.  Tomorrow I will get back into the gym!

Or grass. I grew up in a small town in Australia that hosts a tennis tournament every year that holds the most grass courts in the entire southern hemisphere. During the tournament there is around 70 courts

Nope, is that better or something than good ol' concrete?

I would rather play outdoors though, playing indoors just doesn't feel the same IMO.  

Got most of my errands done, and even had time to take a class, and got to shoot some hoops.. it was great, I sucked throwing air balls but it was really nice to just dribble shoot and what not.. feet are kinda blistering, also slipped and smacked my knee on the floor..hoping it'll be good tomorrow.. also went to the climbing gym to finish off the day.

Got a whole bunch of pasta and snacks lined up for the next few days too.. time for the third leg, REST

I wanna take up basketball again! feel the urge to play, maybe I'll try to do that tmr instead.. or as well ( = 

I hate taking my dogs for a run because they're always running too slow and then end up just walking so I can't keep running.  My brother's dogs however don't know how to run slower so they end up always choking themselves and they're always crossing all over the place.  

Or I'll be doing downward dog and she'll think I'm playing like a dog so she'll lunge at me.  One time I look up and she was far away and then when I looked back up again she lunged at me 

She keeps me entertained while trying to work out so it's all good.  

I went on a 5 mile walk today to a lemon grove park.  My leg and ankle both held up well and I had no issues with them.  It definitely feels a lot less stiff than last week when I went on the 2.5 mile walk.  My goal is to be able to snowboard in 2 weeks so I'm shooting for that and not slacking on any of my exercises.  

Haha, my dogs do the same thing especially when I'm doing ab work or stretching.  

i did a few Rhomboid sets last night and this morning.. not much of a workout. Hoping to get to the gym tonight, but my neck is really bothering me..argh its achy and doesn't feel right. Lower back feel a little sore too..

I'm suspecting the weather! lol and my poor posture...

I did a kinda half-assed workout today.. but the instructor really drilled us today.. it was great, almost seemed as though she was pissed.. I dunno

but turned out to be a pretty good workout.. chiro session went okay too. but when I brought up money and new appointments.. it kinda went downhill from there lol I have 2 more sessions left and the Chiro doesn't seem happy.. wants me to keep coming back.. sigh..

It feels like its been sometime that I've been working out and i'm starting to lose focus on why I'm doing it..

As a reminder I'm doing it to keep those back pains away and to rehabilitate my shoulders/rotator cuffs. everything else is gravy.. the extra weight, size, appearance. let's not forget strength/power.. but probably won't get much power since I'm not doing heavy weights. One of those reminder boards would be useful right about now, haha

I got a tip for you, keep running.  The Marines are going to kill you if you can't run 5 miles.  Watch Full Metal Jacket as a primer.

planning on doing another class tomorrow.. I'm guessing it'll probably be pretty intense.. ahh i hope it doesn't rain anymore..

update: just checked it isn't gonna rain tomorrow.. ice pellets instead.. dunno if that's better...

yeah it is.. so long as the car/property doesn't suffer any damages..

Doesn't that mean you can go boarding instead of hitting the gym?  

LOL makes sense that the gym would be closed if its connected to the school.

and snow day? wth? all we got are april showers.. supposedly brings may flowers. 

but neck is not so much so.. lol if its not one its the other.

Did another class this morning and it was a good day. really felt my glutamus maximus  today

Abs were up there too think I may need a couple of days rest to get it back to normal.. but its all good.. keep on going on strong and just be aware not to go to far over.

I hope tomorrow will be just as good if not better. heres to hoping and wishing =D

Can't wait to get my climb on too.. i wanna kill some of em cave problems.

Thanks!

I went and saw my physical therapist today and after talking with her we decided I can go on a gym program which is basically me just going to the gym on my own from now on.  So basically I don't need physical therapy sessions anymore.

Time to bring on the squats and stuff...maybe I should do the p90x segment for legs.  

but I'll see tomorrow.

changed out the winter tires, man where the nuts tight! needs some lube ;)

just carrying the tires alone was more than enough.. body so weak.. I could feel my back wanting to cry.  After getting into it for a little while.. felt good to get it finished. friend helped out.. .but it was more of a one person job, unless you can get the car onto a lift, don't have that option of course.

Had some clothes that I used to do some construction work, to wash.  Didn't want to put it in the machine so did it by hand.. and that was, well enlightening and makes me appreciate that I have a machine to do the washing for me now.  Kids of this generation don't know the amount of time and sweat our parents used to go through washing our clothes.. esp them jeans...I kinda wanna go to the gym and do a class.. but I'm already beat.. so sad the amount work I'm able to do.. .lol

The website looks pretty ghetto.    But yeah, it does look kind of dumb to bring to the gym and everyone would probably laugh at you too.    

Check out Power Hooks:

You can hang the DB's off an overhead bar and use much heavier DB's.

Didn't hit the gym last night, totally passed out waking up so confused. lol the plan is to go today.  Did Abs/arms/ass this morning, still feeling em abs.. might do some more again later at the gym, hopefully i'll get a good climbing session in, no further shoulder injuries.

I never use the flat bar anymore because of this, the dumb bells also get a better range of motion I think. 

Think the instructor went a little easy on us again today..I should not have been able to to survive that class.. but it was good because I was dead tired.. might head to the climbing gym again tonight though.. i dunno we'll see.

Throat is starting to bother my pretty bad again...I should really sleep and rest

Yeah it's something different for me, usually the only machine I use is the press then the rest free weights. I enjoy doing more free weight stuff because it crushes the core

hoping to go to the gym after in the evening.. see how things go...goign to a gym on friday night.. Life story

Was a good workout, because my wrist is busted up I can only pump on the machines though so no deads for me unfortunately 

I also need to stretch out after sitting at a computer for 6hrs straight.  My shoulders have been killing me recently.    

Had my chiro today too.. and he said things are looking good.. had a cervical and sacrum adjustment, best time now to strengthen all them back muscles.

here we go! 

They're a bit flashier than I normally go for. The brand is recommended by podiatrists and they have different shoes for different foot types

I went to the gym today and was on the elliptical for 30min.  Worked out my leg some and then finished up with some yoga to stretch out my legs.  My left leg is tight from being immobile for 2 months.  I can feel it whenever I sit cross legged.  

gotta keep this up.. just gotta body is feeling good no soreness today, summa body here i come lol

she's going on full force now!

I don't know if i'll be able to handle the class tmr if i go...but we'll see
Also went to climb which was alright.. arms got jacked really quick.. and foot in so much pain! quite the day..

got myself a new pair of mizunos time to get off the bike and back into some running!!

Did my second class too and it was packed! I don't know if I'll be able to handle that amount of heat in the summer months. I'm already contemplating of quitting come the warmer days. They might have air con..

time for this so called sleep that has eluded me.

its now the 20% push.

I'm gonna do a Core class today and many another later on hope I can make my sched. its a little jam packed , I think i forgot to factor in time to have food! :S

crap. umm ummm maybe an update a little later.

I took a rest day yesterday and today I'll be going to PT.  It's usually been an hour long session, but recently with the ankle needing some therapy and the new exercises they've put me on I'm there for 1.5hrs.  Feels like I'm getting my money's worth 

Today will be yoga and PT 

Its a good class I really like it, works the stuff I'm wanting to work out. not a class to gain weight I don't think..good for recovery I'd say not too heavy and intense enough. but you can always set your own intensity .

Did an hour of yoga today and then went to the apt gym.  I was on the elliptical for the whole hour for Ultranatural.  Then I did the leg press machine, another leg machine (I dunno what it's called...), calf raises, squats on balance board.  I still need to do one legged squats on my left leg...ugh...and my personal fav...wall sits.  I hate wall sits, but I must.  

I noticed I gained about ~5-8lbs   I also need to lose this weight so I'm upping the cardio a bit since I can actually do some cardio without feeling like my leg will fall off.

Went to do a Pilates class again today.. and damn was it good. got my ass kicked.. loved it, every bit of it..I gotta work on mah abs.. and shoulders.. also the rotator cuffs. which we did.. excellent.

now I'm thinking whether or not to attend tomorrow...

so damn early to go.. -_-.. bah can't wake up.. let's put it this way instead, I don't want to wake up so early.. lol

Had a pretty good climb session. got tired really fast.. no stamina! don't know how I'm going to work on that.. either for climbing boarding.. anything actually haha

hands feeling so raw!

Didn't have much time to eat and had to rush to work. bah.. eating now muahaha

Did another pilates class today... i really do think its been made a little easier because i think there are some people who are complaining that its too hard.. bah pansies!

Legs and inner thighs are so sore.. think it was initially from the boarding and then swim later on at night...Hands are also sore from doing some pull ups and i guess chin-ups on the rings...weird.. don't get that too often. but i don't usually do it on rings either
Got my cervical adjusted too.. damn it kinda hurt today.. it was quite stiff and wouldn't wanna move..Not sure what this feeling is that's coming over me but its dark and I'm not liking it..feeling quite the lazies and don't really wanna hit the gym anymore. I think its partly work.. sucks.
Dunno what tmr will bring.. maybe hit the climbing gym where I haven't gone in some time.

Tomorrow I may just lightly bicycle to move the legs a bit.

Still bicycling at the apt gym and I got my ankle checked out at a follow up doc visit.  I'm also getting PT on my ankle now since they don't want me injuring my ankle and forcing me to stop my recovery.

They stretched it out and massaged it a bit as well as give me ultrasound therapy for the ankle.  Seems like it helped a bit since it doesn't seem as aggravated as before and it doesn't swell up as before.  I also ice my knee and ankle.

I got my work out in today.. Morning to evening shred.. night swim.. end off in a hot tub.

Only thing missing was ladies in bikinis.

I'm beat. Might go and do a joga class tmr? HAHA i am insane...partially going to work out to procrastinate on other stuff like paper work related..one example would be filing taxes.

I used to ride my bike to the gym and back.

never was a big fan of running.. dont think I'll ever be, but Keep it up!

Don't worry about slowing down the class.. That's the instructors job to keep the pace while helping and adjusting ppl who need help.. albeit they don't always get around to everyone but that's how it is. To really be honest its pretty much monkey see monkey do..watch others the instructor, people beside you infront.. whichever...and with instructions from the instructor you should get a pretty good idea what to do.. and if you don't, simply ask.

As for what to expect...it really depends on the instructor. If you do go, go with any open mind without judgement and a little bit of curiosity.  If you think its one of those workouts that get you panting and breathing hard...sweating.. its not. I'd say its a light workout but can be difficult because it makes you use muscles that you don't really work out normally.

I'd say its not for everyone but worth giving a try.

. thought the nap mid day would help. but i guess the sun shinning in my face didn't help. *sigh*...

I used to think leg days were crap but now I love them. It makes you feel more powerful because you use heavier weights than any other day

I can't eat that stuff, body just goes bleh.. when I do..

Man I'm feeling sore today! its the HINDU-pushups! similar to dive-bombers.

no workout today i don't think...maybe just some pull-ups =D

 

Did the HIIT class this afternoon.. wasn't as bad as the other ones.. but good thing I went didn't really wanna go..done three? days in a row...Might have been more but we went and did another set of V-sit ups...ahh.. those killed haha also did some sorta push-ups.. dunno what its' called.. indian?buddah? pushups? pretty much go into a downward dog position.  Those start to get pretty hard on the triceps the more you do...but they were good stuff.

Think I might do more of those.. but dunno if it works out the chest much...

Biked>pilates class>biked>swam 50m>hot tub> chiro>chin ups>pull ups.  = one starving mofo...and now that i'm almost done.. .eating I wannna effin nap!

contemplating whether or not to do another class tomorrow... it'll be  HIIT class at this moment its a HEEELLLLL no!.. nap time. no more thinking.

Had plenty of sleep as well... went for my class and my legs were struggling so much..arms weren't that much better off either lol shaking so much and losss of blood circulation limbs were going numb.

 

Now till tmr.. we wait

Good on you man! whip dat ass in shape.

Got my shred on today! what what.. gonna maybe do Joga blast class tmr? ^^,

we will see if I wake up tomorrow. or jus dies..

The average finish time for the Melbourne Tough Mudder was is around 3 hours so maybe 10-12 miles sounds about right

cuz its getting easier. used to burn a lot more and struggle much more. now its reported.. time for sleep.

oh yah body fat % went up.. i think it was all the pizza and grease last night.

if you have ever seen the bio for Tony, he doesn't have any credentials.. I was a little surprised when i found out.  He was a salesperson. hah

I skipped out on my morning class today.. ahh just lazy and sick no real excuses.. gone to work OT today too ...did some Rhomboids yesterday on my own only one set. shoulda gone for two... was in a rush to get ready for work. prob noting will be happening tonight or tmr =p

I have been lacking the H2O lately just not readily available enough for me to get hahah I was ill prepared that day for sure though, there's another HIIT Class tomorrow.. but I'm not feeling it.. .I just wanna sleep and try to rest.. this sore throat is really bothering me... and to be breathing hard with the sore throat is gonna be even more troublesome.

I've spoke with a few people and had no issues with eating before their workouts. Take that as you may.  I can eat and workout afterwards without a problem.. I've found that the days where I do eat prior to working out.. I'm less prone to getting tired and have the energy to really work through a tough session.

Did a pilates class today.. not as intense as it usually is.. i dunno what happened today, and there was someone who left the class think she was having some lower back issues. I know how that feels.. sucks! I dunno when my next workout session is going to be but if anything my next class will be on Sunday I'm guessing...or if I take it upon myself and workout at home.

i'm not in it to lose weight at all.. I'm in the reverse needing to gain weight. Just did this exercise again today and didn't have much to eat before the workout and it was SOO bad I was exhausted and felt light headed..mouth was dry and drinking water didn't seem do hydrate at all.

My cycles were 30secs on and 15secs off..  I'm not sure how many cycles we did but 5 different exercises either 2 or 4 sets.. In the heat of it.. my brain stopped keeping track.. and just started focusing on now getting hurt from being so fatigued.

Any HIIT will kick your ass.  I recommend trying a Tabata if you want to torture yourself.  They are very hard and you feel like you want to die afterwards, but in a good way.  You do 20 seconds on and 10 seconds off for 8 cycles totaling 4 minutes.  There was a while when I was working my way up to a full Tabata cycle on the elliptical, but I stopped when I decided I didn't care about losing weight.  I think I got up to 7 cycles, so 3.5 minutes.  I might start up again because it's good for more than just losing weight.  It can be done with any exercise really, but I think elliptical and sprints are probably the best because they are low impact and full body and are more readily attainable than say doing it with burpees.  Burpeeing it is possible but I think it would take longer to get up to a full cycle (this statement is 100% bro-science and has been reviewed for accuracy by the New England Journal of Bro-Science). 

Work out tomorrow?....hmmmm

so hungry and tired.. gonna eat up slumber good.

Didn't do any workouts this weekend..

but I did do that HIIT class and holy crap.. BURPEES! I swear my body is sstill burning through all the food I'm shoving down my throat.

Anyone out there who is looking to loose a couple of pounds.. I'd totally recommend it to you.

most do give you a ton of energy to work out after a long day. usually its caffeine or some other type of stimulant. Some can cause you to see gains sooner, but that might also be due to the increased water retention. 

some people hate them though because they can make you feel hot and light headed. some people even feel sick after taking them. I would recommend that if you get started on them, work up to the recommended dose. you dont want to take too much initially.

also that "stimulant" to workout after taking it may be psychosomatic for some, but for the most part, they work.

What specifically are you referring to?

Im gonna try to do a new class today.. suppose to be High intensity. and I'm sure it will be.. ahhh nervous. we'll see just hope I don't get hurt. its at noon!

I would disagree with you there.. incentives are helpful in getting you to where you want to be.. I'm sure everyone wants to get in shape and be healthier but if there's more reasons to support that.. the likelier you are to... If I had that sorta program here. I'd kill it!

Went to do another class this morning.. it wasn't as intense as I remembered it to be.. not sure if instructor went easy or.. I got stronger.. possibly doing it wrong too haha

i find these work out incentive programs to be hilarious.  but i like it!

This is out in Canada, Toronto its not 24hrs lol but this place pretty much has classes all throughout the day, almost every hour up until 8 or 11 sometimes.

I did quite a few workouts that day so I'm bound to have soreness but I think with the yoga class afterwards it helped to reduce the amount of soreness you would likely to experience afterwards... my smaller muscles like the ones that control my fingers are actually still pretty tired.. i had trouble typing today, the muscles through my arms and back.

There seems to quite a variety of Yoga classes Im not sure how too classify them yet but some are more relaxing.. and others are a little bit more intense. There are some where you're doing it in a very hot room, sauna even..

LoL that is some stupid insane shit running through 10k volts? of wires... but i wanna try it.  and yes you do feel it in your nuts.. LOL great reactions from the participants. Don't like the fact that I'm running through mud with my shoes though... I think that's the biggest thing that would hold me back from doing it. weird right? and there's only a small cup of beer at the end? common!

Passing out from the electrical wires sounds brutal.    What's the voltage on those?

Where did you do your yoga, was it at 24 hr fitness or something?  I bought a yoga magazine once with the intent on actually going to a class but life happened.  I'm still very interested in yoga and the stretchy benefits it gives.

Shortly after I thought I had time to take a nap but didn't and quickly stuffed my face with some more carbs. and went to do another class, one that i did last week which really got me sore.. but today the class was a little different.. did core again with shoulders and arms, oh and glutes, pretty much the same muscles I worked in the morning.

Hoping to get in another class tmr.. but I'm gonna see how I feel.. thinking of doing a yoga class tonight to cool things down... humm... have about an hour to decide...

Recently got at 24" on wanted a 3' one but they didn't have any..great for legs and doing core on.. can't wait to get into it.. but gonna check my gym for a 3' first.. =p

I went to do a class today and I swear I got weaker.. I dunno what's up I think its all this chiro and spine aligning... body is all out of whack and probably needs rebuilding or something Had such a hard time doing level 1 today... sigh Hoping to do another class tmr morning.. gonna keep on kick my ass until all is normal again..

=D stayin' postive

This week I'm gonna get back into it again... get my energy levels back up. hate work.. schedule is messing me up!

Gotta get back to working my core/back/ shoulders/rhomboids quads. gonna throw in a little chest workout too

I actually wanted to do a class tomorrow.. but the times they have em, suck.. argh Tuesday is looking a lot better.

well until next time

I got in a few chin ups at work on a door ledge =p 2 at a time..was struggling

I want to but I keep getting lazy on my work out to keep up.     My cousin just did the tough mudder and they said it was tough and hella cold.  

I couldn't think of anything worse than having a leg injury again, it took me 2 years to fully recover my strength after tearing my acl

Do planks with 90 lbs (2x 45lb plates) on your back.  Put the weight towards your lower back.  Hold it for as long as you can.  You need a spotter obviously to put the weight on your back and to take it off. 

Haha, I was gonna say the same thing but then I decided not to try to explain how to do it.    

AbRipperX from P90X?  That thing hurts so bad!    It has the V thing in there too, that's how I learned about that move.

But is your back suppose to be flat against the backboard?  Because I kind of arch my back.

Okay that explains a lot because I never felt those worked out very well so I stopped doing it.

Or pause at the top of every rep.

Or if you have some serious strength hold a dumbbell with your feet and raise it with added weight. 

There's a company called Vega which have that.. I don't know how effective it actually is and if it even works..but what it is, is a powder you mix with water.. there'a pre/during/post powder you can use.

Could be a canadian company.. i'm not really sure

Yep when you bring it down to 0, youre in a resting state, in you're 30 your muscles are still active.

LOL I know how you feel bud! I did a 10k run last year and when I hit the 9k mark I had nothing left in the tank but amped myself up for the homestretch cuz i didn't want to look terrible in front of the crowd at the finish line. I was neck and neck with what had to be a 65+ year old woman. I looked over and she was already eyeing me down. Gave me a nod and dropped the hammer!! To this day I don't know how she sprinted the last k.

Got a half marathon coming up in May. Gonna start training so that doesn't happen again.

^I would say you've overworked your quads then drop it down a couple of reps or take out one set.. maybe even lighten the load.. it also might be helpful for you to incorporate some stretches, before, after and day after your workout

Generally what i follow when i work out: If you work out and you're sore for more than 48hrs, then you've over done it, Max 3days

anymore then you might've just injured yourself and should let time to heal. Knowing your limits sometimes will take trial and error, so its a good idea to set benchmarks, and write stuff down. its good practice. and when you're regularly working out its easy to gauge where you're at vs. being on and off again. hope that helps.

I just finished another class(HIIT-lates). and got my ass kicked! awesome if I had better stamina I would'a kicked ass too but lack of sleep doesn't help me much.

I think I generally give my muscles a day of rest but that's just part of my lazy schedule, on and off working out. but when I am I try to work on different parts each day.

Did a little bit more core the other day in my yoga class, but more of the lower because my neck is still swollen from my fall on Sat. then in the evening went to do some riding kinda had a workout on my legs but it was a short run.. 1.5-2hours at most?

slept so late afterwards.. and just work up about an hour ago.... dunno what I'll do today.

Got an interesting class i might do tonight!

Depends what split your running. If your doing something like chest/tri, back/bi, shoulders/legs then 3 days on then 1 day rest would be good.

But if your running something like chest, back, legs, shoulders, bi/tri then 5 days on and weekends off would be good for you

Did some swimming earlier in the week, don't remember when now and I was tired real fast.. no stamina for swimming anymore so sad.

pretty much in and out.. did a little traversing on the wall and tried a new bouldering problem..couldn't complete it.  Went to try a blue route on a self belay I've been working and and wasn't able to finish it. quickly got in a small core exercise and that  was it..Almost late for work because traffic was slow. but made it just in time...

but time to work on the sleep!

Today I'm stilll quite tired and sore from the weekend.. haven't fully healed yet and I took another Joga class... I couldn't keep up today.. Arms legs.. just gave out.. now I'm stuck with a headache... i think its a lack of liquids or just overly tired. feeling like crap though..

sunday got my shred on, body is so sore.

30 dips, 30 chin ups, 30 push ups, 30 jump box squats.

All with 90 secs rest between each set. Then dropped the reps to 25, 20, 15, 10 with the rest dropping to 60 secs for 25, then 30 secs for 20 and 15, then no rest for 10. Was a solid workout that got the heart racing pretty quickly

got home and did a few chin ups and pull ups beginning of the day and the end of the day

eff me.

tmr will probably be nothing as well.

might hit the gym at night.

Who requires you rest between sessions?  Just do it.  You can do it every day and you'll be fine.  You will be sore but you won't die.

really hoping everything will turn out okay.

But wouldn't you need the required rest between sessions on your back muscles?

Does anyone know where I can find some sort of routine they follow? There is a chin up station similar to theirs down the road from my house in a local park area

Yeah they can.  The pull up and its variants are pretty much the best upper body workouts you can do.  

for the rest of the day i felt pretty tired though. . .I thought I would've had more energy

oh well. not sure when I'll be able to workout next.. schedule is kinda right in the middle of everything.. might be able to catch a late class tho. 

anyone done anything like this? Does anyone know what the workout regime would be, surely they can't just be doing pull up type exercises everyday?

Sounds like your right leg is going to be jacked when you finally do get off your crutches.  

whoa, 2 walks a day, on crutches?

I don't think I could bring myself to even one walk.

I'll remember that for next time.  That gym was weird because the weight room was in their basement.  I was kind of trippin' out, thinking I'd be screwed if a big earthquake hit.  But I got out and hopefully I never have to go back again.  

I use that trick every time I'm away from my local gym. Most gym's are desperate for members so will hand out free passes if you say your thinking of joining

better yet should I go do a class tonight. 1.5hrs from now to be exact...I'm feeling really lazy and a little tired. hummm.. yah I'm not gonna tonight. Got some other paper work to get through.

we'll see bout tmr.

But Sat I got my neck cracked and my lower back. Got in a good sesh on Sunday could have kept on going but maybe it was a good Idea that I didn't since I had to drive back.

Until I lift again!

shoulder feels weak, did some rotator cuffs.. minimal inner core.

my cardio was walking /jogging around in heavy boots outside in the 30cm of snow, man its tiring! much rather be riding around on it.

Something is up with my lowback left side.. something is pulling right to my glutes totallly weakening the whole side, kinda like hitting your funny bone and everything goes weak.

did another Joga class in the morning.. thought it was only an hour long started at 8, got out and found out it was 10!, NO doubt I was late for work.

After starting these classes, I dunno where I am with my workouts.. abs?shoulders?.. bah...

Went over to another gym and did a Yoga class.. well they call it a Joga class.

Also worked on rotator cuffs too

Now what I need to work on is SLEEP, really need my rest. Thinking of doing a morning Joga class tomorrow but trying to figure out what i'm going to do with breakfast.
