Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Great to see this thread is still very active with Bob (or Mr. OGF) carrying the torch, but with Surfermom very much in the picture too, plus occasional guests as well. I've just been catching up on a few pages and it's very reassuring to see that you're all keeping the good work in the fitness stakes....which is more than can be said for me, I'm afraid to admit.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Well my return to the gym was relatively successful considering my lengthy absence from anything you could call constructive training. I was up at 12.30 and out an hour later and I hit the weights.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
How nice to hear from you in the fitness section, Floydy. I have been a great admirer of your dedication to work and family through your wife's illness. Congratulations to her for navigating her way to the halfway mark, though heaven knows she has every reason to be worn down. I do wish her strength and healing. I know this must be taking a toll on you too, and I hope you are finding rafts of positive experiences, like those little drives to school with your granddaughter, to keep you buoyant.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Surfermom - such kind words and I’m especially comforted by your words wishing my wife well. It’s passed on to her and thoughts like these do perk her up a little each day. Thank you. Looking forward to seeing what your next outing training-wise is too.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
After going a bit further on Sunday and tackling a 9.5 miler along frost crispy grass on the canal bank, this morning's eight mile run was never going to be easy. It seems the older I get the longer it takes me to recover. While preparing for this morning's outing it seemed darker than usual and the reason why was the sheet of fine rain illuminated under the streetlamp.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Hi Bob.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Floydy, I really appreciate the depth in which you describe your exercises. Since I don't go to the gym, with a bit of creativity I can modify some of the work you are doing here at home after I do my step aerobics (with three poud weights). Plus, it just makes for an interesting read. I know that mixing it up is important and how quickly missed muscles can weaken, so thank you for the inspirations. You keep doing those adductors and abductors. It mystifies me why those are assigned to women and some men choose not to do them. It seems like they round out leg work for men too. Day two! You are on a roll...Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Surfermom, all the best for Thanksgiving. I hope it was an enjoyable day and that your baking treats went down very well with your family etc. It’s always lovely to read your posts and putting my green envy aside whilst I read about your adventures in that wonderful location you reside in with the (mostly) gorgeous weather, I love to visualise how general everyday life must be out there…oh well, back to dreary old ‘Ull I guess!Re: Post your daily exercise routine
I am interested to see you rotating between high rep and low rep sets. Do you feel more satisfied when doing fewer reps with higher weights, or the other way around. I am all about high reps. I seem to feel a lot less drained later.Thread Tools | |
