What do you do for workout?

[ladsin]

today I had a pretthard workout day. I did our normal pt (100 pushups + 100 situps + 2 miles) then I did 2 class sets of pushups (116 each) a class set of squats (116) 10 minute wall sits. then later I had to hang on a pipe for 10 minutes then do 20 pullups, then I had to do handstand pushups 20 then I had rugby practice, then I had to do the pullup thing again and did another class set of pushups

[SteelyMcBeam]

Holy f$%! How long did this workout take?

Jeez, I stick to the rule of 'no more than an hour' that way I can have some semblance of a life (as well as energy to actually live it).

Admittedly, I am a newb to working out and have a really crappy routine. The split occurs over 8 days:

Arms

(Break)

Back

(Break)

Legs

(Break)

Torso

(Break)

Also dieting has been a challenge. I try to consume as much protein as I can every day but I barely get to 100g on some days. I figure calories kind of follow if I can get the protein thing working out, though I should probably be eating more in quantity and frequency.

[ladsin]

lol well this was throughout the course of the day, inbetween my classes and at nigh mostly, still sucked though

[SteelyMcBeam]

I just got done doing my arms today (took 35 minutes, so maybe I should do more). I do 3 sets of everything of the following (I do one set of everything before returning for the next 'round' to minimize time lost due to rest) with 10-12 reps for each set:

Bench Dips

Dumbbell Curls

Dumbbell Concentration Curls

Dumbbell Hammer Curls

Single Arm Wrist Flexor Stretches

Single Arm Wrist Extensor Stretches

Dumbbell Seated Pronation

Dumbbell Seated Supination

You're in good shape. Also your recovery must crush mine. Of course I'm old. Of course my recovery always sucked, which is why I avoided physical stuff from like mid teens to 30, when I decided I'd rather work at something I sucked at then be fat and out of shape.

Wednesday was 3x5 squats, 5x5 hang cleans, 5x4 pullups (I suck), some supplementary bicep/ab work. Normally that'd be it, but I missed Monday so also did 5x5 press.

Today will be 5x5 bench, 3x12 pec fly, 5x5 DB press, 3x12 lat raises, abs.

Planning to mix in some steady state again. Probably no HIIT for a couple months.

I usually don't work out but when I was trying to join the track team I would run on the treadmil for maybe 30minutes 3x a week and do curl ups.

I'm still not done with p.e. for school since I failed but went I get out I don't plan to work out at all.Unless I want to flatten my stomach,run,stretch to be more flexible, or practice swimming but other than that I pretty much hate working out.

[ladsin]

lol I gotcha

[stillagoodgirl]

Although I should probably work on push ups since its not good to say I can't even do one

[Stacyzee]

-Sexercise

-Recently I started using the eplitical machine again.

-A few dumbbells and squats.

10 months ago, I was on:

15 sets of 20 pusups

15 sets of 25 roman chairs

4 sets of 12 pullups

15 sets of 15 dips

Swim 15 minutes continously(no touching/kicking off the edge of the pool)

Every 2 days.

Generally my arms would give out midway during the dips. But I'd go on until I reached the total of 225 dips.

I'd also escalate the workout every week slightly. I'd never fully complete it, but I always beat my previous performance. Was a really solid training technique. Took forever though. Workouts could take up to 2.5 hours.

Now after 10 months of nothing at all, I'm starting over at 0 again ^^. 70 pushups killed me lol.

[MissDashwood]

Usually, nothing. But today I went running for the first time in my life and it nearly killed me, haha.

[uglyvirgin]

How far?

[anonymous7784]

haha sorry, you sounded like my girlfriend. Girlfriend- "I just ran a few blocks and almost had to crawl back!" lol

[MissDashwood]

Haha, that pretty much describes it.

[ladsin]

i hate running!

[MissDashwood]

Me too! Ugh, I wish I didn't have to get toned for work! I don't know how to exercise.

[ladsin]

well excercise is easy just do whatever till your huffing and puffing lol

[MissDashwood]

Easy to begin, difficult to endure.

[karenirving307]

I do sit ups,crunches and girl push ups an jog with my dad.

[ladsin]

lol good stuff, girl pushups or real ones

[karenirving307]

girl push ups if I did real push ups the most I could probably do is 10 or 15 and girl push ups works just fine for me.

[ladsin]

lol iight then

[uglyvirgin]

kettlebell snatches

Stiff legged deadlifts.

Full squats

Lunges

Lots of leg and back work. Cause there pretty much your most important muscles.

[ladsin]

i think the heart is a pretty important muscle =P lol jk I gotcha core work though because the core is used in all exercises

[SDj-9]

Well my program goes something like this...

M: Back and triceps (Abs + running)

T: Shoulders and legs (Abs + running)

W: Chest and arms (Abs + running)

T: Back and triceps (Abs)

F: Shoulders and legs (Abs + running)

S: Chest and arms (Abs)

It works for me,but that doesn't mean it is good for everyone so try it out if you want...

And later on it's a good thing to mix it up a bit.

[babydelrey]

3 km on treadmill or cross trainer or bike with heart rate of 180

60 bicycles

20 lunges

15 seated row with 50 lbs

20 weighted squats (9lbs)

20 bench presses (9lbs)

20-30 proper sit ups (but on the bench thingy where you are kind of upside down)

30 slides on the ab coaster (10lbs on each side)

20 back extensions

1 minute plank with feet on a medicine ball

I do all of that minus the cardio twice and I go 4-5 times a week.

[Anonymous]

Walked a mile on my hands today... yeah...pretty easy.

[ladsin]

hand stand style?

[iwish46]

My favorite thing to do (when my knee isn't feeling weird) is to run. I do that 2-3 times a week. One day of the week I do around 50 chinups and 100 pushups, one day of abs, and then one day of doing interval/circuit training.

[Anonymous]
