What workout did you do today?

[forestranger52]

LaMemChose. Therabands used heavily tear muscles as just any strength equipment. People can just use them for stretching and such but if you go heavy, every other day is best.
I wish like heck that I had room for better equipment like a uppertone or equivalent.
If there was something small maybe I could fit it in.
Good luck

Dam good job, arndog.

I did my workout on Monday but rugby was cancelled last night and I skipped today cause of finals this week. And I feel like shit cause of it to be honest.

Wednesday workout
65 min elliptical trainer avg hr 120bpm
30 min stationary recumb. bike avg hr 109bpm
35 min handcycle on mag trainer in garage interval w/o 1 min on/1 min off x 10, 10 min warmup and cool down
walk up 2 flights of stairs holding on banister.

For those who are unfamiliar with interval training ( I apologize to those who know) , here is what a interval workout looks like. 1 min very hard effort, alternating with 1 min rest. Repeat 10 times with 10 min. warm up and cool down. I can't fully recover in a minute so you see a nice trend upward of heart rates. I am happy with it although next time, I can push it harder....
It is a great way to get a quality workout in a short amount of time plus it is more interesting than just grinding along listening to the garage freezer hum.

I had to cut wood for a fire because someone stole my wood. "You know your in the hood when your Bro steals your wood." - I was up at 4:30 took a nap from six to seven . I went to work at 7:20 arrive and worked from 8:00 to 4:30. I arrive home at 5:00 and cut some wood for the fireplace. Working out helps. I started the computer and went to CC because the connection was responding. I like to have a schedule so I can make my everyday jobs disappear.

1 hour straight (19-21 miles) on my RECK MOTOmed stationary bike. Level 8
resistance for those who may know the different levels on them.

No weights today, the trainer cancelled. Probably won't lift until Monday.

I usually lift 3 days a week, but do an hour a day on my bike and few sets of
pull-ups.

Never a minute of working out without NO-Xplode.

Come on, cardio people that's the ticket from what I hear. 15 miles on my handcycle again just under 1 hour and weight training (shoulders back and abs) Keep up the good work everyone.

is your nordic skiing outside or on a machine? I would love to ski outside but I am not quite there yet. if my right leg gets to far behind me I get stuck and my balance is still pretty sketchy. I am hopeful for next winter. We got so much snow today it would have been helpful to be able to ski to work!
