Exercise club

I might go out for a slow little run later just to get my legs and head to relax, after the sun's down. Otherwise, today was the beginning day of new cross-training; work reverse lunges and modified dead-lifts with emphasis on form, and a 1 min. plank, side planks, bird-dogs, tricep dips, modified push-ups on the bench, and something they call farmer's walk with heavy weights.

Cross-training today went alright. Several sets each of 10 reverse lunges, bird dogs, modified dead-lifts, easy bench push-ups, reverse flyes, and did I mention reverse lunges, ow, lol. Tomorrow morning is a 5k, I hope.

I did it, plus another mile for good measure. My legs were tired from the leg-work but I did it. ☺️

Well done @seabird 😀😀😀

I'm just doing my 10k steps a day walking and little core exercises. Don't know if they're doing much, this nerve is painfully slow healing process.

Really good to hear, that's great.

Just did my night walk to make 10k steps by midnight.

That's awesome, another 5 miles. Seems you've been doing a steady 5 miles for a while now @AvidFan. Well done!

Thanks @seabird Another 5 miles/10k steps done today and about 20-30 steps done at a light jog along the path in the woods.

Trained glutes and hamstrings. I try every now and then to incorporate Romanian deadlifts into my routine, but they’re so frustrating. I make sure to brace my core, squeeze my glutes, bend my knees slightly, push my hips back while maintaining a neutral spine, but in the end all I feel is my heart beating out of my chest and my lower back crying for help. Somehow I just keep getting it wrong. Part of my problem is that I instinctively squat as I’m lowering the barbell/kettlebell, especially as I get winded towards the end of the set. Otherwise, I don’t have a clue.

Anyway, I made up for it by doing hip thrusts afterwards, which I can always count on to work.

Just did a small night walk to complete my 10k daily steps. Something in my body wasn't happy with me jogging a few steps yesterday, though the flare seems to have gone down a bit now and my last 2k steps were better than the ones earlier in the day. I just keep trying.

The flare from yesterday seemed to settle down and the leg is better than it has been in weeks today - after being the worst in weeks yesterday. It really is a strange one. Anyway, did my night walk to clock 11,000 steps today.

A bit under the weather today, so I limited my workout to a few minutes of skipping rope, some core work, and several rounds of tricep exercises.

Walked 12,000 steps today, just under 6 miles. Some of it with heavy bags to office. Finished off with night walk.

Great job!
With you there! 12000 steps too ~ in Amsterdam!

Reached my target of the week: 88 kg, next up 87 kg (or lower) early on next week.

Chest day today. I felt groggy from the start, but I fought through it. I can rest easy now.

Today was arms and core. I have a new, I dunno, affirmation I suppose, telling myself to not make a big deal out of the runs or the strength workouts, and it helps me to just go ahead and do the workout.

Today it was the stroll about town, not much town, but checking out the post office and truck stop does get in about 20 minutes of moseying about.

Just did my bedtime walk to make 12000 steps for today or 10k/6.2 miles.

Trained my back. My curiosity and ambition has returned as of late. I’ve gone to the gym more often, incorporated new exercises, varied my routine, pushed myself harder, and I’m actually having fun. Just a little. Having to hold myself accountable and figure things out on my own is discouraging, but doing so makes it all the more rewarding when I prevail.
