TypeC Exercise Challenge and Contest

[ilikeitlikethat]

I paid my gym membership for the month of June today and; Went back to the gym.

I stretched, did my leg raises and my crunches, rowed 2, 000 Metres, Cycled (Excercise Bike) for 35 minutes, Skiied (Cross Country Trainer) for 35 minutes, Ran (Treadmill) for 5 minutes. Used the leg curls, arm curl, shoulder press and chest press, stretched and finished off with my leg raises and, my crunches. I did all my cardio, some weights (low weights many reps, to stretch my muscles) - I warm up and warm down with my stretches, leg raises and crunches..

That's June the 10th ticked off.

Congrats on the gym membership! Even better, actually using it.

By the way, this is a bit of an old thread, but there's a new one here:

I actually went again yesterday aswell, 11th of June, and to be honest, I am tempted to go again today! 'Make it 3 days in a row'

I did all my work out all 3 times. tonight I stretched/warmed up did my crunches then my leg raises, rowed 2, 000 metres in 8:50, cross country skiied for 35 minutes, cycled for 35 minutes and ran for 5 minutes, did some presses and curls and, squats; before warming down by stretching, leg raises then crunches. I also jumped on the treadmill for an extra couple of minutes before leaving.

Yeah, that's pretty much my work out... I did that tonight, yesterday and Friday.

I starting going back last Friday.

I must say, when I rowed my 2, 000 metres tonight, I feel as if though I broke a personal record... It was my first work out of the evening/night and I was also inspired by some pretty lady on the near by excercise bike, just damn; She was pretty, like 11 out of 10 pretty, y'know? Anyway, I did it in 8 minutes something seconds and was actually proud, and happy, and surprised when I got that, it was a nice 8 minutes time. As ever; my goal is to always row 2, 000 metres in under 10 minutes, on the odd occasion I don't even make that, I've had like 10 minutes 4 seconds and so fourth, I average in the Nine Minute Zone, like, 9 minutes 23 seconds; something like that, but getting a new personal best tonight, that was cool, I was quite proud of that, tonight; and I kinda do thank that pretty lady for motivating that and it's not like I overly struggled either,
I did kinda' work for it a bit when I knew doing what I was doing was giving me a good time if I just concentrated on my rowing and not the girl to whom had caught my eye and subconsciously wanted to impress 'LOL' with my rowing - when I got that time.

I've been back on the bike for several weeks.

Congrats DiscoBiscuit!

I finally started my exercise program back up!
I did it on both of the past two Saturdays.
I'm drawing a star on my calendar to keep track!

Thanks!

9 miles in 36:50 today (shaved over ten secs off my best time). Avg. spd. of 14.6 mph

Not too shabby, but I eventually want to get a proper road bike as opposed to my Trek FX, and get that average speed up around 20mph

 

[INTJMom]

Wow! You can run for 36 minutes!!

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

Wow! You can run for 36 minutes!!

I can cycle on the road for 36 (much closer to 37) minutes at about 80%-90% exertion.

If I dial it back a bit, I could ride for several hours, but it's a much better workout increasing the strenuousness of the activity.

EDIT - for me I don't really consider it a good workout unless I have a hard time walking after I'm done.

When I come in I want to be utterly spent.

 

[INTJMom]

Oh! Pfft! You were on a bicycle! OK... sorry... I missed that the first time.

Keep up the good work... congrats on your personal best.

I've been back at it this week. I got a gym membership and am doing a combination of weights, walking, and exercise bike.

 

[Aquarelle]

Me too! Been in the gym twice this week, and tracking my nutrition again. Goal is to lose 5-10 lb by my Mexico vacation at the end of February, then continue after that to lose an additional 5-10. Also to be healthier and all that.

Excellent!

Good for you! I wish you good success!

Right now my goal is to just get consistent at doing my routine every Saturday.
I'd like to add another day, like Wednesday, after I get consistent.
In addition, I am cutting junk food out of my lifestyle.

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

Been keeping up with riding.

My diastolic pressure at the DR's office today was better than it has been. 82!!

 

[Tigerlily]

I've lost quite a bit of weight, but it's because I haven't felt well. Working towards getting back in top form and bike riding again. I probably should consider a gluten free diet, but I keep putting it off.

 

[INTJMom]

So far I have done my exercise program every Saturday this year.
And you know what's motivating me?!
I get to put a STAR on my CALENDAR when I'm done! Hahahahaha!

 

[Little Linguist]

I've been working out every single day this week and feel great! Yayyy! By the way, when is the next challenge?

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

Went to a boxing event last weds and I'm still sore.

 

[Chaotic Harmony]

So far I've either been in the gym busting butt or working out at home every day for the past week and a half. Not to mention still working with the personal trainer weekly. The scale isn't reflecting it yet, but my arms and waist line are starting to!
