Thread: Log in your workouts today!

Lukey, are you ready for that beer ?
Seriously I was prime Summer 2014 one year after a major surgery the Summer prior. Everything was clicking. I was gearing up for muay thai senior exhibition.
In May 2015 I went back to the states to find out another setback then returning to Surin to gear up my cardio for the inevitable by walking 6 km / 65 minutes and 3-speed pushbike on dirt paths and paved back roads avg 18 km/ hr.
Entered the hospital for 5 days at November's end and finished treatment at Bumrungrad last week after a two-weeks stayover in BKK.
I've a 6-week window to see how successful my operation is faring. As you know I'm an optimist.
I told my surgeon that I want to be playing competitive senior tennis next year. The surgeon smiled and said that I possibly could but let's see how everything is when you return in April.
All stated I've lost quite a bit of muscle tone showing more of my real age.
Maybe next year you can show me your workout at the gym. The beer will taste good, Luke.
Stay safe while your keeping on the treadmill. Cheers until we catch up.

Well its great to hear you are remaining positive and cheerful Coffee, and I wish you a speedy recovery and more good news after the Doc gives you the once over in a few weeks time. I'll be spending more time in Surin town when I get back in April, so If you are about and want to meet up, that'll be good. All the very best of luck mate!

Todays workout.

5 x 3 minute rounds on the Muay thai pads.

2 x 6 minute rounds Jiu jitsu.

Some technical training thrown in between on both. Around 90 mins in total.

3 x 10 sit ups

Fook the gym, to many injuries.

Quite.

A long slow run for me today. 8.25 miles. It's not really long but in my current state of fitness, it's long enough.

Bought myself a pair of 6kg dumbbells the other day, a tad (1kg) heavier than what I'm used to, but excellent for flies etc.

God it feels good stretching back with those!

Six sets of 10 reps, and squats, about 10 minutes or so, plus 10 mins exercycle plus 10 mins push ups then resistance bands, plus two, half hour brisk walks later.

Enough, for a day.

Resistance bands (bicycle inner tubes) are brilliant, a few reps at a time, any angle, any time.

Jedi Training
7 days a week

The body doesn't work like that, it doesn't have a switch to change in and out of deficit/surplus it's the average of the calories that you're consuming (or not as the case may be) over a period of time.

Ps. Do you store your food in an Italian designed/made refrigerator by any chance?

Deja vu

A 5 mile run in 40 minutes for me today.

One hour on the road bike. Two banana �� shake after.
Still no gym a few months now, same problem with the elbows.
Have been considering joining a new gym, one with a health suite for afterwards.
Might help with the recovery.

I started January with an unshapen soft middled undefined torso
Kept it going, took a break while on Koh Bulone
Got back mid march, continued same diet & workouts

Now things are looking like this

2 cups of tea and a few 20m walks

I'm saying that the math doesn't work.

Assuming a maintenance calorie level of 2,000 per day - because I'm shit at math and that's easier - what you're saying would be 14,500 calories per week, 500 calories over maintenance and therefore a surplus, and that the human body works on a sum of averages and doesn't enter a ketogenic state overnight just because you're eating under maintenance for a couple of days a week.

Goodo, well now that math doesn't work nor does what you're advising for workouts (now two days down from three initially) so let me know when you've got that sorted.

I still won't bother trying it but I'll ask my paramedic friend about it.

Isn't there a friend to the workout gurus here somewhere on TD?

I'm definitely going to have to seek qualified advice from my paramedic friend.

A good low carb, adequate protein and roughage diet with Vits and mins coupled with stretching (yoga),squats, resistance bands and hand grips along with two brisk walks a day will keep you fit and lean, full of stamina, and healthy.

Chuck a few 5kg flies around as well.

Shit twice a day for optimum waste disposal, drink lots of water.

How did you injure your elbows?

A good recovery drink would be your banana shake plus a scoop of whey protein. An extra couple hundred or so calories and if there is one food group just about everybody doesn't get enough of every day, it's protein.
