Exercise club

[arbitrarybarry]

Glad to hear you have been trying to be productive, Lewis.

I really ought to use the warm weather to mix things up, I am really plateauing in terms of my weight this past month...

I love this thread. I did stretching this morning and deep breathing exercise for 15 mins.

The club is still open, folks! Get over the mid-summer slump, get some exercise, and get posting.

I went climbing yesterday at the gym. Today I walked around.

I am one day away from a week-long streak of exercise every day. Not that you cannot take days off, but I want to ride that momentum!

Hey, so my local mental health center is at the back of a hospital. They have a gym there in the hospital and I will be attending a group there every Friday. Saw the dude who runs it yesterday. Feeling really positive about this!

Great September so far, getting in one or two rest days a week but otherwise going hard!

Well done to you. Keep up the hard work

I did 20 minutes walking today, its a start but boy i'm wrecked after it lol

For the first time in a while, I went on my usual walk. I felt out of place and out of shape. I had to dodge dog walkers, cars going to work, and students waiting for the bus (I'll have to figure out a time to go where I can avoid that, there are 3 pickup times though) to get to the trail. I'm glad I went and I feel it's so good for me. I just can't accomplish that doing indoors stuff. It's too easy to stop. I need to think of a way to push past that since the weather or time can be an issue.

Went for a 20-30 minute walk today, feel so refreshed after it

Slacked a little this week, still keeping up my minimum schedule and moving the right way weight wise, but I can definitely recommit this week.

I exercise most days, usually just in the house, I don't feel comfortable going to the gym. I have quite an athletic build its just I'm unsure how I would cope with other people, social interactions can be difficult sometimes depending on the type of person I'm speaking to.

I'm getting really good at push ups, I usually do over a 100 in a day, I've also increased the amount of sit ups I do, I don't think I'll ever have a 6 pack though, I'm more of a 1 pack.

Getting a six pack has almost everything to do with what you eat. It’s totally not worth it in my opinion.

Yeah, that's why I said I'll never have one, because you've got to be very strict about what you eat and I'm not that committed to it.

Went to the gym today for the first time in four weeks!

Worked my chest, shoulders, back, and triceps. Gotta find time later this week to work on lower back, squats, bicep stuff, and wanna be able to use the assisted chin/dip machine. Also accidentally was lifting 35 kilos instead of 35 pounds cause I temporarily forgot how to read. I was like why can't I do a simple set of ten reps. It's not that hard!

 

[bag_of_struggles]

Even remembered to bring a small towel with me to avoid everyone's sweat.

OK update. My body is all achy now, the good post workout kind. But it means I can't go back to the gym today. I feel stronger already though.

 

[Lewis83]

I think I did too much exercise yesterday, I tend to do more when I'm anxious.
