Fitness thread--what was your workout today?

[Bolletje]

30 minutes of bodyweight exercise. I now suspect my trainer of trying to murder my butt.

 

[Bolletje]

50 minutes of cycling outside for work. I’ve decided that I don’t need to work out on days I cycle to and from the office, unless I really want to.

Ran another 4 miles yesterday, did 30 minutes on the bike today.

 

[Aspychata]

30 mins run fast. No bike. Maybe Friday.

 

[justin_havu]

Two runs today about 4 miles late morning, 2.75 miles this afternoon.

 

[Bolletje]

40 minutes of core yesterday, 30 minutes of dancing today.

 

[VictorR]

5 mile walk with hills and 2 mi of trails. Hopefully by the end of summer I'll be back in shape for hiking.

 

[Aspychata]

Can't exercise today. But had to motivate me and see who is exercising. Maybe tomorrow.

It’s a sunny spring day, so I went for a 30 minute walk in the park rather than my scheduled workout

 

[Callistemon]

Nearly 10km hike today in nearby bushland, and last Thursday, 10km through the coastal hills - that was a super workout.

At least the 2km loop through our place most other days, on top of various farm tasks. @Bolletje is inspiring me to do core work again...I do have an exercise mat...

 

[Bolletje]

30 minutes lower body functional strength training. I’m annoyed at how wobbly I am after not training for a while, but I’ll get better.

 

[Darkkin]

I did about 16,500 steps...

 

[justin_havu]

a couple of 4-mile runs the past couple of days, plus a little time on the stationary bike.

 

[Bolletje]

Yesterday was 30 minutes of HIIT. I was tricked into it by it being called cardio. I got really frustrated by the instructor happily hopping around like a bunny while I was flopping around on the floor in a state of confusion, but I made it through to the end.

A couple of things happened yesterday. Some new gear from Running Warehouse showed up. BOA singlet, and New Balance shorts, both of which were on clearance. Singlet has a snug fit, but that's fine with me as I prefer my clothes to fit close to my body. Shorts are perfect. They were advertised as 3", but I think they're actually 2", which again, is just fine with me. The shorter, the better.

Next: Went for my usual 4-mile run today, and wouldn't you know it, around mile 3.25, shin splint in my right leg. Bleh! Had to resort to walking for a bit for that last 3/4 mile, which I was not very happy with, but I guess ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I might do a power walk tomorrow and see how that goes, but I love working out so much that I can't go more than a day without doing anything active at all.

 

[justin_havu]

Today was a pretty active day for me. 30 mile bike ride in the morning, 3 mile run in the afternoon, and a 4 mile walk in the evening. It was sunny and 75F out, I just couldn't stay indoors.

 

[Aspychata]

Alright!! Sorry about shin splint. I actually have a book on runner's now.

30 fast mins on treadmill, l don't run on pavement. (Yes, l know you aren't suppose to start a sentence with numbers). 30 mins on bike. And l did almost all circuit of machines despite the peewee college crowd. Lol. They sit on their phones and sit on the machines while others wait. Oh boy. Nice gear from running house.

I can't do treadmills. My body is so used to road running that (other than the shin splint I got yesterday) it doesn't really bother me. Treadmills just don't feel natural to me at all, unless I set the incline 0.5 or 1% above what it should be, so it feels more normal, but then there's the cushioned deck. And yes, one of the reasons I left my gym years ago, other than too many people and my anxiety being as bad as it was, was that too many people were just sitting around on the various machines on their phones, or being social with other patrons, while I was there to do what you're kinda SUPPOSED to do at a gym: exercise!

I read that woman's pelvic drops from running on concrete. I guess it's too hard on our body. Plus l would space out thinking about something and fall or run into something. Running outside is not good for me.

First thing this morning I did 30 minutes of lower body functional strength training. Even my lazy glutes woke up this morning, I am definitely feeling it.
