What was Your Workout Today?

[HFWR]

Weather permitting, bicycling is my "cardio"; otherwise, walking.

It's worth remembering that resistance training is "cardio" to an extent. I usually walk 0.5-1.0 miles before hitting the machines. Yesterday, I went to the rec center for "leg day". It was damp and chilly, and even after walking for twenty minutes, I was still chilled a bit, especially my fingers.

Enter set one of leg presses, a set of eight at 210 lbs.

No longer cold...

But I use weights that are challenging. No 100 rep sets with five pounds, which is really only slightly glorified cardio.

Workout today will be similar to yesterday - 10 mile bike (moderate hill), 3 mile run (treadmill), then weight training. Yesterday was arms, back, abs...today shoulders, chest, triceps...

Will keep this up till Friday - weekend is recovery time.

Today I am exercising with Crystal Gayle, Gloria Estefan, and Enya (for the slower ballet moves).
Barbells are in my hands and I'm dancing in the living room.



These types of moves are great for balance and overall flexibility.

Now we're talking! Some real dedication to fitness showing here! Were they two handed curls?

I don't remember what it was called, but remember that thing you showed a video of, where you push a sled across the room? That seems like it would have a huge cardio component to it.

Yes, that was a sled workout. I consider it to be a HIT type workout. You get cardio and resistance, and is probably similar to what you get from sprinting.

Another day, another workout...10 mile bike (incline, Level 15), 5 mile run, weights (chest, shoulders, triceps).

DW said last night "lookin' good hun...". That's all the motivation I need to keep going.

I'm now teaching martial arts classes twice a week at our dojo, so now that I'm in FIRE, I've started a morning workout at home for 1 hr to go over what I'll be teaching that night.


Good sweat going w/ some cardio and lots of 'core' motions/movements - I think that this will be good for 2015 - drop some unwanted lbs, too!

2 Mile swim followed by 30 minute upper body strength workout ... Hope to get back to a bit more lifting but starting slow..

 

[W2R]

Rode the stationary bike at the gym yesterday instead of weights. Actually it was a pretty wimpy workout since I am feeling very weak and miserable due to a winter cold, sinuses, and more right now. At least I was able to do something and to keep up the habit of going there. Later I went home and napped on and off until bedtime.

 

[Bestwifeever]

Rejoined the gym where DH has continued for the past year, starting Feb 1. Oh my. That should count as a workout .

Cut up a 60' tree which was dead on its feet, then blown over by the wind. Then did 8 pull up, negatives only.
