I started working out last week.
Today I did 11 miles on my bike in 45 minutes and I started doing core stability exercise and I'm following a 100 push ups programme.

Once my core strength had improved I'm going to start running.

I'm glad one of my friends is a personal trainer so he helps me a lot. I'm already in my best shape ever but I can't wait to improve that significantly.

I woke up sick and I can't go. This really sucks. Yesterday was my off day.

it's alright girl, in the scheme of things, a day isn't going to kill you. besides, if you're sick, you need the rest!

Though I weighed myself this morning and I am down 15.2 lbs since I started working out again. :smt003

This is what my next 6 months look like:

Day 1
Military Press 5/3/1
Bench Press 10/10/10/10/10
Chin Ups 10/10/10/10/10
Curls 10/10/10
Skull Crushers 10/10/10

Day 2
Dead Lift 5/3/1
Squat 10/10/10/10/10
Ab Wheel 10/10/10/10/10

Day 3
Bench Press 5/3/1
Military Press 10/10/10/10/10

the things I would do to be able to eat taco bell......
there is one 10 second walk from me here too....
sigh

by **DDP** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 3:03 pm

climbing at least once a week, pilates twice a week. I'm starting rugby in a few weeks, that will probably get me in better shape than what i'm currently doing.

by **Tiggz** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 3:06 pm

I have not eaten Taco Bell in a year. I used to eat it twice a week. I don't miss it.

This was my Monday workout:

Shoulder rehab warmup (3x20 floor press, 3x10 curls, 3x5 lifts @ a whopping 12lbs!!!!!!!!)
3x: 10 star jumps
10 lateral jumps
10 jump squats
10 floor dips
10 burpees
10 medicine ball twist squats
10 mountain climbers

Yeah, so that was fun...
Tuesday I did the rehab again, and yesterday I had derby practice for 1.5 hrs My week usually consists of derby 3x, gym 2-3x.

by **fist shaker** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 3:12 pm

yesterday i ran my first sub 7 mile in 6 years, and a 24 minute 5k which is my personal best.

1 hour of stick time and then a scrimmage tonight :smt004

i havent been in shape in a long time, it feels awesome

by **JamesO)))** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 3:18 pm

Today I'm doing arms at the gym. I have lost 15 lbs since the beginning of this year. About 50 lbs since August. Feeling lean and mean. I'm getting pumped for the gym as I type this.

UNSCARRED BY TRIAAALS

I use the rack workout thing and hope it will help my knees to start running again

by **Oye_Loco_Que_Bola** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 3:33 pm

yeaaaah, get healthy! i was looking for that weightloss thread but i guess it got deleted? i liked checking that thread from time to time. anyway, weighed myself today for the first time in a while and down to 165 from 220. i was actually surprised cause ive been trying to eat more to gain some weight but the opposite is happening haha. did a quick shoulders/trap day today
db press 4x8
frost and side raises 3x10
face pulls 5x10
upright rows 3x10
shrugs 4x10

in and out in a little less than an hour right as the gym started to get packed as hell.

by **Stevie Brule** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 3:36 pm

Lean and Mean and lots of protein, lifting weights that's my scene.

by **lostamongthelost** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 3:37 pm

I've been running for a while now. Since my surgery I started from scratch. Doing my 5km in 30 min now, 3x a week.

Doing some weights/push-ups/abs every night. I eat healthy too. Feels good.

I don't want to get ripped, just look good and feel good.

by **woolyjammoth** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 3:38 pm

Once I recover from this leg surgery I just had, I'm going to buckle down and get a killer routine going.

by **jangle pop** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 3:41 pm

i took about 6-8 weeks off because of laziness and the weather but tuesday morning i got back to it. i cant do gyms anymore, too boring (though i miss squats and deadlifts). finally got a bike again so ill be riding that 5-10 miles daily, with longer rides on the weekends probably. also hitting the jump rope, sprints, pushups, dips, and pullups every other day. gotta work my kettlebell back into the fold as well once or twice a week. being fit is fucking awesome.

by **stick tight** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 4:29 pm

I love how exercise gives me a energy. Eversince I started I wake up early without setting a alarm and I don't get tired during the day anymore.

totally piped to do shit again tomorrow.

by **HillbillyStomp** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 4:35 pm

the beginning of january, i weighed 340-345. my new years resolution was to start living a healthier lifestyle. i quit smoking. i quit drinking soda. i cut out almost all processed food. i reduced my caloric intake. i started going to the gym 3 days a week and once i became addicted, i upped it to 5. i have one cheat day a week where i eat whatever the fuck i want. i weighed in yesterday morning at 299.5. this is the first time in my adult life (and as long as i can remember) that i have weighed less than 300 lbs. i am 6'7". my goal is 250 maybe lower. we'll see how i feel once i get there.

by **the chocolate factory** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 4:36 pm

damn. doing that while quitting smoking? congrats.

Tiggs what happened to your shoulders?

by **Thenamestheygivearestupid** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 4:49 pm

So is this the new "Weight loss" Thread basically?

If so, just posting to say that I hit 250 today, which is about a 40 Lb. loss total, and 18 lbs. within the last 2 months.

Also posting to say that I just got done running 2.7 miles. Which is about 2.7 more than I've ran in the last 5-6 years.

Separated AC joint/fractured scapula over a year ago, never did PT. I am a dumb dumb. But I'm working on it!

I've been going to the gym for the last few months, I am preparing for the FDNY physical test. I wish I had a friend to go to the gym with because I get bored as shit there.

I started this "from running to walking" thing. It's similar to that "couch to 5K", I've been dominating so far. I only started on Monday but I hope I can keep it up!

I do that Monday, Wednesday, Friday for cardio, and do strength exercises/pilates on Tuesday and Thursday.

Except today I took too long of a nap so I feel super drowsy, only did a few arm reps. I'll have to make up for it tomorrow. I want to start lifting free weights but I hate my university's gym so I'm going to wait until I move into an apartment complex with a small gym area.

what is this rack workout? my knees are fucked from years of volleyball and they really hurt when I run.

by **wronghometown** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 7:45 pm

I joined a gym that is literally empty every day. It's made me love going five days a week. Using the steam room and showering after each workout. Feels good man. Got a pull up bar at my house now, great for added reps throughout the day.

The gym scale says I'm almost 170 but I don't believe it. I gotta check my digital one when I go home. I was hovering around the mid-160's a month ago. Before last summer, I was at a slump of weighing 145 due to breaking my wrist and getting tendinitis in my shoulder. I only have one more hurdle in my way in terms of forced rest, removing a marble of cartilage and smoothing the bone in that shoulder in late May.

For cardio training, I run up hills in a weight vest and do sprints with it in the park. Usually once a week.

by **Mew** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 7:51 pm

I would rather eat mud and dirt than eat another bite of cottage cheese.. a cup every night before bed is killin me.

I know Uganda and you posted some really useful body calculation stuff in the other thread. All I've ever done training wise is lift and climb and when I was lifitng exclusively, I ate as much as I could all the time, now I gotta drop some weight to climb better. Still have a good calorie counter I can use to figure out my intake? I know Uganda posted up a formula a lot, but the name is escaping me.
