I'm a big fan of the reddit community bodyweightfitness. A gym would be a good place for a lot of their exercises as you need row machines, dip stands, etc.wazoo11 said:
I agree with all this. 2-3 times a week is perfect, and definitely focus on FORM and BIG MUSCLE GROUPS. That's where you'll make the most progress in building real muscle and strength. As a younger man I'd go into the gym and spend 30 minutes on different bicep exercises when I should have been doing squats.
Totally forgot to recommend nerdfitness.wazoo11 said:
Guys, I'm sorry to say this, but @bostonfred doesn't care about you. He left. He went and started some spinoff diet faction to compete with us, and they're over there high fiving and bending over backwards celebrating all the neat stuff they do. There's no racks of oreos, no fad diets, no booze, no demons. It's all sappy and terrible. And they're over there competing with us. Hell, they're worse than the 10k thread nerds.
Don't you talk about my Tim like that!
That is categorically untrue. I care about some of them. So many great people in here like Raiders fan and pokemon and Ken and the bank guy and I really enjoyed this thread until I got kicked out by Kirsten for talking about pushups.
She was so smug about it too oh man I was so angry. But those thread the needle planks were a really good workout when the bile in my stomach stopped churningDon't you talk about my Tim like that!
Honestly his doing voiceover for someone else doing poses sounds super lame to me. I don't even like the couple I've come across where Adriene does voiceover for her own sessions. Be a man, Tim!
Speaking of being a man, today I did this one that fred previously described as follows: "If you like the surprise it's not really over yet thing then boy would you like core strength ritual which is 23 minutes but she tricks you because she's a merciless ########## #########." Fred is obviously a wimp because this session was crazy-easy.
Ahhhhh, wait, what I meant was that it nearly killed me. Yep, more like that. She does say "last move" before a forearm planks, but then the "trick" is that she says that was the warmup to the real move, which was side forearm planks that last forever and involve a bunch of "arm up and then thread the needle" stuff. Think I will be feeling this one tomorrow!
WTF happened to you, bro?
Had 2 lbs as my goal but hoping for 3 which I hit. Kept up with the exercise bike, and then Tuesday and Wednesday worked in some 40-50 minutes walks around the neighborhood that I'm going to try to make permanent additions to my routine.
You're still a machine in my book. Jokes aside, kudos to you for getting your life in order. It's definitely forced me to reflect and change.
Thanks man. We both helped each other here the pushups and sodium especially but also the let's try it attitude with stuff like body combat and yoga you're doing awesome. I feel like we made the best out of 2020-21 and hopefully helped some others to do the same or get started in that direction.
I had a little upper ab soreness today but didn't think it was too bad and launched into a moderate 30-minute YWA. Then...
If you left this part off, it would have been the most watch Adriene video by FBG, ever.... most not even doing the yoga poses
(I could go back and check but -- what are these times for? Are these walks? Jogs? How long do you go?)
I have not been good the last couple weeks since Easter. Losing weight hasn't been more important to me than drinking and snacking. The same is true for you. Every weekend you make a decision and it's not a rational decision but it's definitely what you want. You don't feel any urgency and you don't believe it's important enough to do it.
I'm walking, that's the mile pace according to the phone app (which is apparently going to self-destruct Friday, so I won't inflict this on you guys much longer). My route is just under three miles, and it takes 54-56 minutes depending on rest and many other things. Monday-Saturday.
This is going to sound absurd....just don’t drink any booze this weekend.Otis said:
Have you tried cycling? I suffer from bad knees, and running is just brutal on my body. I've found cycling I can get a great cardio workout in with near zero stress on my joints. Even walking/hiking is tougher on my body. I do need to be more diligent at working my upper body and core.kevzilla said:
I hear you. The walking hasn't aggravated my joints; my weak links are plantar fascia and back. With proper warmup, I don't pull up lame very often. And my continued ability to ambulate is literally what's at stake for an aging diabetic. Use it or lose it.
You are not dumb. You prefer to drink and eat a little too much on weekends rather than try to lose weight. When you are serious about the weight loss on the weekend, you will lose weight. Only you can make that decision.225.9 this morning. That’s my lowest early-in-the-week weigh-in this year. Sub 225 looking like a good bet for Friday.
And yes, maybe I can not be dumb this weekend. Maybe.
