Here's your ticket:

Sing up and get the Workout of the Day from Spartan Race.  Do what you can.  It removes having to design a workout for yourself and usually only takes a little bit of time compared to traditional workout.

Hmm... I like this. I've pretty much sticking to my diet for the last month, and while I feel better, I've only lost 6lbs. I think I could definitely fit this into my morning routine.

They have a food of the day also.  Good wewbsite to spend some time on whether you think you'll ever do a spartan race or not.

Yesterday was pulling up deck planks and riding the bike. I love exercise being outside work.

My Wife and I went out for a bike ride yesterday. It was a short ride but a ride, Legs a bit ouch today. We were at a fund raiser Saturday and won a 3 month free gym membership. Looks like I have no excuse any more. Jim

Time to do some work Jim !

Back up to speed after vacation .

20 push ups , 30 crunches , 100 bicycles , 5 leg lifts , 15 push ups , 30 crunches , 100 bicycles , 5 leg lifts , 15 push ups , 30 crunches , 5 leg lifts , 10 push ups . Hard to believe that I started out with just 10 push ups back on May 12th . Best of all I am still losing weight . 2 more pounds and I will have lost 40 pounds .

Great job G.  Glad you're getting good results from your hard work.    



I've neglected updating this thread this week.  We were on vacation last week so I had a few days off.  Recovery in mind, body, and soul is a good thing.   8)   Hit the gym hard this week.  Everything but my hair is sore.   😀   Yesterday it seemed the heat and humidity (90ish on both counts) would take it's toll on the run, yet I set a personal best 5k in 25:27.  Leaving better than arrival: mission accomplished.   🙂

Its rough getting back from vacation , but I think the break helped me too . Congrats on the run , thats not something I plan on working into my routine  😀

I've been crazy busy lately doing a bunch of manual labor type stuff. Hence no workouts per se.

Yuck , being sick and wrenching in the heat at the same time is awful .

Thanks B ! I dont even know what some of the stuff your doing is !

 

[badmonkey]

1: 30 push ups , 50 crunches , 100 bicycles , 5 leg lifts .
2: 20 push ups , 40 crunches , 100 bicycles , 5 leg lifts .
3: 15 push ups , 30 crunches , 100 bicycles , 5 leg lifts .
4: 15 push ups .

My sets are getting longer and I am up to 80 pushups now ! 20 more to go until I hit that goal . I want to get to where I am doing four full sets for a while and eventually to five . I feel stronger than I have in a long time , and after a week on the road I am still at my lowest weight so far . My weight loss has sort of plateaued and I am hovering at 38lbs lost . I want those next two pounds BAD ! Off to ride bikes with Hannah this morning , and then some light grilling tonight .

Gotta chime in here and say that on Friday I ran my fastest 5k in 20 years.  26:00 was the official time.  Slow by most standards, but when you are built somewhere between a dwarf and a hobbit... I guess I am happy.  Also this week started my training plan for my second marathon, October 18th, Medoc Mountain State Park.  Three weeks after that will be my son and my second tough mudder.  It is important for me to have something to train for, keeps me on track, well sometimes anyway.

Congrats on the personal record . I dont run so I would have troubles keeping up with you . Hannah and I did ride 5.25 miles of flowing single track at Country Park today in Greensboro . Between that and the workout this morning I am pretty fried !
