What exercise have you done today?

[Lawrence00]

I think this is my fourth Saturday back at the gym after sitting in a chair seven days a week, 12+ hours a day, for many months. Evil employer.

(I did quit by the way. Last day is December 20th)

Anyway started going heavier with the weight on the second week back. Usually a bad idea but I did not end up too sore.

Today after long warm up, moved up to and did a handful of military press sets with two 40 lb dumbbells, then backed it down until the muscles involved got real tired.

And I did a whole bunch of curls, wrists horizontal and wrists vertical. Up to about 70 lbs, then back down to weakness.

I think Thanksgiving will be a leg day to failure. ️

Do push aways count?

 

[Lawrence00]

Picked up heavy stuff. Moved it around.

My brain got a lot of ups and downs (push ups) when confronted with a new genealogy mystery.

 

[HermitHogan]

Does lifting, chewing, and swallowing massive amounts of food count as exercise?

 

[hearlady]

For the last two months I've done a weight training series twice a week.
It is working. I'm getting stronger and almost ready to move on to ten pound weights for at least one of the exercises.

[Della]

Ten minute workout, increased repetitions, same time.

 

[JBR]

Picked up heavy stuff. Moved it around.

That's what I do a lot of, living on rural acres. Also, I do some exercise-bike peddling and upper-body dumbbell maneuvers in the evening. Never much that's new from me, pretty routine.

 

[Murrmurr]

Leg Day: I walked from the bedroom to the kitchen, and I'm feelin' the burn.

 

[Rose65]

Shamefully little. I have not felt well, rather dizzy. So I took it very easy.

 

[MaidMarian]

I did yoga for an hour this morning.

 

[Olivia]

I turned over in bed.

 

[Nathan]

60 minutes Ashtanga Yoga. Afterwards, 60 minutes Taichi.
In progress: 90 minutes treadmill.

I'd be rightly interested, maybe you could start a thread in Family & Relationships?

Nothing today. Been since Thanksgiving when we were in Colorado for 6days. It broke my exercise rhythm. It will kick in soon am considering trail bicycling as opposed to so much trainer bike training; I usually do HIT on the trainer bike for an hour and weight lifting, crunches, lunges, etc.

 

[MACKTEXAS]

The only exercise I do is walk 1-2 miles a day, but I always park a distance from store entrances to get in some extra steps.

The only exercise I do is walk 1-2 miles a day, but I always park a distance from store entrances to get in some extra steps.

I always do this, too. Every step counts!

 

[CooCooforCoCoPuffs]

My typical routine is:
25-50 lunges (used to do 100 in my early 60s but my knee objected at some point in time)
60 counter push ups
50 squats to a chair or work out bench
20 lawn mower pulls with 20lb wt each arm
20 10# bicep curls each arm followed by 10 12# bicep curls each arm, followed by 8 15# bicep curls
100 butterfly kicks for lower abs
75 center ab crunches; 75 left oblique ab crunches ditto right obliques
20 overhead lifts of a 20# dumbbell, using both hands. Three count: Floor, rise to chest level, rise to up over head
20 side stretches each side with a 15# dumbell in each hand

Then on my trainer bike and do one hour of HIT training: 5 min warm up; 1 minute standing peddling with as strong a tension as I can for as fast as I can; then five min seated at moderate; alternating whatever way I feel like as long as am doing cardio moderate to high and peddling to the beat of my favorite tunes.

Then I cool down by doing stretches on a matt, head to knees, etc.

Am exhausted for the rest of the day. I do this 4-5 times a week; unless I have a long session of gardening to do.

I turned over in bed.

Slowly, I hope !!

 

[MaidMarian]

Another hour of yoga today

It would be a thread dediated to ancestors finding. I'll think about it.

 

[Twostep]

Three buckets of weeds. I do not count those squats, lunges and attempted push ups. More of the same tomorrow weather permitting.
