[Medusa]

Still doing alternating upper and lower body toning and three dog walks a day. I'm trying to work a little more cardio in, but it's a delicate balance with the fibro.

I'll figure it out.

 

[IrishEyes]

I should be doing something but you people are addictive!
Do finger push ups count, I do a lot of them on the keyboard!

[Lawrence00]

I had not been to gym for 3-4 weeks. Todays Weigh-in, I lost 2 more pounds

Have stayed consistent on my home baked protein muffins etc.

So got in an hour on the stairs machine and 1.5 more hours with random free weights.

Now at 5'7" and 156 lbs.

 

[QuietByNature]

Today was treadmill day. I typically jog between 5km and 8km.

 

[Lawrence00]

Today a whole bunch of barbell work. Am still able to do controlled over the head press with 2 x 40 lb barbells for a few reps. Did some real deep trap bar lifts with about 100 lbs to wake up those muscle groups.

Do you find it much easier with the trap bar? I have thought of buying one. I only have a straight bar at the moment.

 

[Rakaia]

I'm lifting my game at present so I did some physio stretching exercises.

Early morning walk, 5*C nice and cool for a brisk walk

 

[Oldeagle66]

I walked three miles this morning and will do another three this evening. Getting my strength back from finishing 38 weeks of chemo and radiation in April.

 

[Pepper]

Went to Podiatrist. Had the energy to shop at several different stores. Walked with less pain today. My walking will begin again SOON, and I'm happy re: that.

With the regular deadlift bar, especially if lifting heavy, there are multiple things to remember and you can scrape your shins or bang your knees. With the trap bar you more naturally squat and lift up. I like it better. Nearly all the same muscle groups are worked.

 

[Trade]

2 mile walk. 51 minutes and 39 seconds.

2 mile walk. 54 minutes and 58 seconds.

 

[Medusa]

I continue with my alternating upper/lower body toning and stretches, along with two - three dog walks per day.

I'm thinking of maybe adding some relax-yoga at the end of the day.

 

[hearlady]

Yesterday was my training day. I added some ab work yesterday and I feel it today.

They are easy to make. You don't need to buy one.
I made one like in the photo for ~ $33. Here's the Youtube video <-- with instructions.
It was too big for me so I shortened the length to 3 feet, and reduced the width by several inches.
Overall it weighs 22.5 pounds, so I added 1.25# weights to diagonal corners to make it an even 25 pounds.
Also I didn't put the little bolts on the ends. Any odd weights are simply put on diagonal corners, which works fine.

I started doing deadlifts with a regular bar, 8 times in August, then 5 times in September with the frame.
So far I haven't done any in October. The frame is better because the shins are free, and the weight is balanced.

2 mile walk. 51 minutes and 7 seconds.

 

[QuietByNature]

My longest jog to date. Avg Pace is a personal best.
