TypeC Exercise Challenge and Contest

[ergophobe]

I'll give you pictures but you'll have to view them with a pinhole and a scuba suit! *flexes mightily*

Are you asking me to bring my own pinhole camera and take the pictures Pink? Oh, you really shouldn't have!

Scuba suits are for for wimps and for those afraid of drowning in your awesomeness. I, on the other hand.....

I'll be expecting time and directions...


Sincerely,

played tennis for two hours this afternoon.

 

[Haphazard]

My body just must have a strange delay.

I did abs of steel yesterday, but my shoulders were sore this morning from something I did on Thursday.

Not that strange at all. My sorest days tend to run 2 days after the workout - especially if it's a new exercise that really pushed me.

did my daily cardio,

udog will be proud.

How are you guys doing ?!

you're already skinnier than a super model.

to stay that way ? I take on weight really easily even on a pretty low fat high prot diet, so instead of complaining i prefer to shut the fuck up and do daily cardio.
It's that simple really.

Nah, I'm just really rude
but hey, thx for calling me a pro

 

[Udog]

Almost forgot. I did my A lifting workout today, but am not in the mood to type it all out like I did with my B workout the other day. Perhaps on Wed.

I also walked 60 minutes, and then ate way too much vegetarian pizza. That'll be my evil meal for the week - no dietary cheats tomorrow.

yay!

 

[Jeffster]

I went for a walk in the rain from 12:54am to 1:08am.

 

[Tallulah]

Worked out last night by jumping around onstage for 3+ hours. Am totally sore today.

I'm enjoying the challenge, but the P in me is annoyed that I have to say I cheated if I don't have time to squeeze in 2 more workouts by tomorrow. I've been eating extremely well, and walking more and taking more stairs when I can.

 

[ergophobe]

Thursday - cheat
Friday - met goals
Saturday - met goals

 

[EffEmDoubleyou]

Tallulah brings up an interesting point. If we do an alternate activity like swimming or playing basketball some day that is not our stated contest-approved workout activity, should that count for something? I'd hate to think that I might swim for an hour and have to use a cheat if I don't also do my official workout that day.

Well, I certainly don't want people to feel punished when they are seeing positive results, as that's not very motivating.

Since your lifestyle isn't the same as it was when this contest first began, would you want to update your health goals to more accurately reflect that? Say, 2 exercises a week, and put 1 cheat up for stake on the idea of walking and taking more steps when you can. I trust your judgment on if you hold true to the spirit of the goal come the end of the week.

Or if you have other ideas, I'm listening.

I have been counting alternative types of exercise when people tell me about them. When it comes to cheats, I've only been keeping track of frequency. (I.E. they do something 3x or 4x a week.) I do keep track of the specific exercises for stalkerish informational reasons.

I sort of consider the idea of alternates being okay covered by #7 of the OP.

 

[Biaxident]

Ack! Come on people. Calling things cheats are like saying it's always a bad thing. Which isn't necessarily true.

Call it alternative activity.

Just like the occasional piece of chocolate when you are on a diet(another word with negative connotations) isn't a bad thing when the cravings hit. What's bad is when you lose control and eat the whole bar, or box, in one sitting.

Something that makes your blood pump, but isn't necessarily traditional exercise.

This. Bodies adapt to the same exercise routine, so it's good to mix it up a bit!

 

[wolfy]

Anything that makes your blood pump is exercise. Sex is exercise.
