Guest guest Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Hi Everyone, I ran outside today, roughly 3.35 miles. I didn't time my run, because I have a tendency to get obsessive about times, rather than enjoy myself. I felt great on my run, and felt like I could have run longer. Then later in the morning, I went out to mow the lawn. I'm going away for a few days, so I hope everyone has a great weekend and stays well!

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Hi Yuna, today I did  - 25 pushups  - 25 pullups  - deadlifted with 100 lbs 15 times  - overhead squat with 45 lbs 15 times  - 25 - 35lb kettlebell swings  - ran 10 blocks and had a failure try at rope climbing (something I suck at right now but still practice because one day I won't suck and I'll look like a monkey when I'm able to climb it!) thanks for your daily inspiration - treat yourself well over your next few days!

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Hi Colleen, Yuna...everyone else, I just finished my first kettle bell workout - it was quite tough. Planned a long run for today - but there has been non-stop torrential rain. Hopefully tomorrow will be drier. ________________________________ To: " insideoutweightloss " <insideoutweightloss > Sent: Sat, May 7, 2011 2:35:07 PM Subject: Re: Workout - May 7 Hi Yuna, today I did - 25 pushups - 25 pullups - deadlifted with 100 lbs 15 times - overhead squat with 45 lbs 15 times - 25 - 35lb kettlebell swings - ran 10 blocks and had a failure try at rope climbing (something I suck at right now but still practice because one day I won't suck and I'll look like a monkey when I'm able to climb it!) thanks for your daily inspiration - treat yourself well over your next few days!

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Colleen, Yuna and ... Great workouts! I did some training on the track on Saturday. Jogged 2 kilometers, then did some footwork exercises for about 20 minutes (sprints, jumping, hopping, running from side to side etc) and finished with 8 runs across the fields. Left feeling awesome! Sunday was rest day and today did chest, back, biceps and triceps at the gym. Tennis tomorrow...Yipeeeeeeee :-) To: " insideoutweightloss " <insideoutweightloss > Sent: Sunday, May 8, 2011 12:35 AM Subject: Re: Workout - May 7  Hi Yuna, today I did  - 25 pushups  - 25 pullups  - deadlifted with 100 lbs 15 times  - overhead squat with 45 lbs 15 times  - 25 - 35lb kettlebell swings  - ran 10 blocks and had a failure try at rope climbing (something I suck at right now but still practice because one day I won't suck and I'll look like a monkey when I'm able to climb it!) thanks for your daily inspiration - treat yourself well over your next few days!

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hello Everyone, Happy Monday! I did an 11 mile walk /run (mostly running) yesterday - 2nd long run in 2 weeks. Surprised at how good I feel - after the 1st long run (10mi) i could barely walk. After this one - i feel fine. My Monday night class (school) has just been cancelled, so maybe I will go for a bike ride after work. Have a great day.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Oh my, Colleen, I am in awe of your strength!! Can I ask how long did it take you to build up to 25 pushups and pullups? Doing 15 pushups takes me to my limits... doing 25 seems daunting! And let's not talk about pullups, LOL! > > Hi Yuna, > > today I did > Â - 25 pushups > Â - 25 pullups > Â - deadlifted with 100 lbs 15 times > Â - overhead squat with 45 lbs 15 times > Â - 25 - 35lb kettlebell swings > Â - ran 10 blocks > and had a failure try at rope climbing (something I suck at right now but still practice because one day I won't suck and I'll look like a monkey when I'm able to climb it!) > > thanks for your daily inspiration - treat yourself well over your next few days! > > Colleen > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I feel like saying 'forever' (it was just about a year, truly but when you workout 3 times a week and do them at every workout - it does seem like forever!) ... kripes, now they are done 10 at a time (small rest of 8-10 seconds then 10 more rest then 5 more and I positively can't do any more) ... working on getting to 3 sets of 10 then I'm going to work on stringing them together. the things that I think have helped are doing the heavy weight lifting and we practice in class doing the plank position & holding it for 30 seconds or more - both of those things stress the arm muscles like crazy and get you sweating!  but I still can't climb a rope!!  it'll come tho with pullups - think of pulling the bar to you (vs. pulling yourself up) - it's a small 'mental trick' that helped me! I also practiced a number of steps to get there from the nerd fitness web site - he has some great step by step exercises to get you there: pullups - http://nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/04/25/do-a-pull-up/ pushups - http://nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/02/15/proper-push-up/  ________________________________ To: insideoutweightloss Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2011 1:30 PM Subject: Re: Workout - May 7  Oh my, Colleen, I am in awe of your strength!!
