Well it's not too shabby. I do 2km every other day at anywhere between 8:50 and 11:00 depending on if I can be arsed, have the kids with me etc.
Mind you that's wearing non-speed rated flip-flops. :D

Can have a break day now tomorrow.
Ya fancy a day of drinking beer and eating pies down along Suk, Dill?
I'll bring the smelling salts in case ya get knocked out again. :)
I’m so glad the thread title says “today” because I did nothing yesterday.
Today was an 800 m swim. Might cycle later.
Open gym gym membership tomorrow ..... oops
Done fvck all yesterday,today and will do naff all tomorrow!
However, after that i shall be walking a half marathon every day and spending 45 mins in the gym each day working on my upper body.
:)
I am back on the exercise bus again.
3 sets 50 jumping jacks
3 sets 25 free standing push ups
2 sets 50 sit ups
Then a quick 10KM bike ride
+ Various yard work everyday. The other day mowing property with push mower, I tracked it on app, 13,926 steps.
Easing back into this. Along with this is diet changes as well. Smaller portions, No snacks at night watching the tube before bed. Drinking once a week (That one is painful as I like my cocktail afternoon)
What are "free standing push ups", JPPR?
This name was picked up as they are simple natural push ups. No special gizmos. Basic Military Push ups. Sorry for confusion.Quote:

You must have a big garden JP, kudos for using a push mower.
Recently acquired one myself, decent cardiovascular exercise.
Yeah man, I would have called BS. In the states when I was at the gym there were a few guys that called them "free standing" meaning no frilly supports or gizmos. Just a good old Military style push up.Quote:

The best part of the work out is the pushing the mower under fruit trees and pulling it back. I really work up a sweat. The big plus is being outside. I do this about once a week now with rainy season and sun.Quote:

Might skip those today.
Good One today
Push ups, Sit ups, Jumping jacks as regular. I added some Plank Yoga positions then a 10km bike ride then returned and finished with 3 sets (15ea) of 25lb curls and 3 sets (15 ea) 100lb Free bar bench press.
No cocktails since Friday.
Yesterday Morning: Got up turned on TV
Yesterday lunchtime: Changed channel.
Yesterday evening: Turned off TV.
Today so far: Walked to the front (20M) and opened tap. Made cup of tea. Ate croissant. lifted cup and drank tea. Sat down and rested from the exertion.
You want to be careful mate, you'll do yourself a mischief with that sort of excessive exercise! :DQuote:

Rooting in the gym?
Sounds like a waste of energy to me! :D
Well if rooting using Yoga positions it could be a win win....Quote:

Jog a bit, walk a bit, jog a bit, walk a bit.
Staying up until 4am to watch England barely beat mediocre opposition, then do it when it's 17,000 degrees in the shade didn't help. :)

And a few personal bests.

Today was base work out as always
Bike ride 10.4kms plus bench pres and lat pull downs on my machine
I also mowed 2/3rds of property and covered 12,739 steps and sweat like a stuffed pig
Last week lost 4.1lbs. Again not doing this for weight loss. I am 4ft 5" and 190 lbs so I am a plump little butterball bastad like LuLu:smileylaughing:
Weigh in is on Monday and with that comes an increase in my work out schedule.
How many reps and what kg?Quote:

Time to maybe move on from daily BLT's. :)
That's actually a little difficult to answer! :DQuote:

I'm still working through my shoulder/neck nerve issues though so building back into it slowly.
It's definitely key. Don't know what to do unless you know what you've done and how much you've improved.Quote:
