Log Your Daily Exercise

[City Slicker]

Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday were run/weight days. Working on my upper body on alternate days and abs most days just because I like the feeling in the core. Monday was beautiful here and I braved the numbers of people I knew would be down at the lake and headed off for a long run. And even managed to get some much needed gardening in over the long weekend.

Happy Victoria Day fellow Canucks.

Depression hit and exercise went right out the window. :(

Im in a very very bad place emotional. Yesterday and today hopelessness and fatigue trumped everything. Did not do my excercise yesterday, just could not do it. Today, I also felt I just couldnt but told myself, I have at liest to try. Procrastinated it for an astonishing 4 hours, before I finally started. When I started this (nearly 2 month ago WOW) I made one iron rule for myself. No longer rest then 2 days in a row.

Now its done, good god. I am happy to say, I feel a bit better now. Left out one excercise and did a bit less then normally, but I have done it. Now I treat myself to a bubble bath, deserve it. :) phew

Been going to the gym for just over 2 months now, but WOW, what you guys do seems to be loads. I do 30 minutes cardio and 10/15 minutes either abs or weights. To day was abs day.

@anthony, sorry to hear about your calf injury, have you tried weights? This might enable you to work on different areas of your body, and give other parts a rest and renewal time - it might help get past the injury stage too.

I have been walking, but had the last two days off of that too, as it was tightening still. Feels heaps better having done little with it for two days, so aiming for light walking and such until next Monday, when I will get back into running and hope it has gone for good.

35 min run on Tuesday.

Today: 40 min of training with my own body weight - in a group! Haven't felt my body so intense for weeks and almost started crying with all these people around me.

Half an hour to an hour twice yesterday.

I walked one hour and fifty-five minutes today.

Edited to Add:

I danced a bit as well. I did stretching and moving around.

I did the Semi supine and crawling for adults exercises today - two Alexander Techniques.

We walked forty minutes tonight.

Sorry to be gone, had to fix one emotional issue which used to cause me self beatup.

Wednesday and Thursday were tough emotional days so I really threw myself into my workouts.

Weights and then some running - and then during Krav Maga yesterday I tweaked a tricep on chair dips of all things. I lost focus and let my arms get a little too far behind my butt and presto, ouch. Icing and heating alternating tonight.

I am thinking about doing a local tri here so I will check out some swimming and see how I do.

Today : 3 km
Tomorrow : Rest

Wow, people asked me "You were not seen a day ago." I talked to this old man and he recommended me to come by mornings, but the issue I am very hungry during morning. :(

Road warriors, please do take care of yourself. I am taken aback to notice Anthony and City Slicker are injured. Good health to all of you.

Thank you @Tanishq - I missed you. It was good to see your posts again.

Thankfully my tweak was eased considerably with a good night's sleep and some ice. I am good as new today and ready for my next challenge! (maybe I will wait a bit on the upright paddle boarding though ; )).

I use physical activity to deal with most things in my life - and I actually kind of like when I have little tweaks here and there - it helps me feel grounded and then I relate much more with my body and get less stuck in my head.

Unless of course it's a full out injury that prevents me from doing what I love the most which is running - and then that's a whole different ballgame. But I am working on my coping strategies for when those types of injuries happen and I am grateful I haven't experienced too many of them so far ... yet.

Take good care @Tanishq and good health to you as well.

Needed one and a half hour for a routine I could do in fifty minutes. Meh. Dumbbells and bodyweight, as always.

Feel super weak and unfocused today for some reason. Training was a real pain the ass. Sunday next session. Hope its gonna be some fun, this wasnt. But feel good now.
