Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Yay! My best session to date with 64,770kg lifted: 20,770kg upper body, 14,100kg core/trunk and 29,900kg lower body/legs. I was hoping to crack the 1,000 calories burnt but got close at 961 so the 1k calories is doable at some point.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
It's good to hear from you, OGF! I doubt that any of us are too surprised that you found more than one way to get some exercise. It seems that my cruise ship has a similar layout with a dedicated running track on the upper deck. I definitely understand why you would want the sense of accomplishment of running on your birthday; 5 miles on your 69th! Yay! Btw, There is an unforgivably late message from me on your birthday thread.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Tachyon, I have no idea why your post didn't come up in my first read, but that's a great report all around! I have a theory, that I've mentioned here before that I think that strengthening leg muscles and weight bearing exercise actually reduces the risk of knee injury when doing the exercise properly. Superbly done!Re: Post your daily exercise routine

An unscheduled event today because I was due to go with my wife to the gyno clinic but she wanted to be on her own, so an earlier blast on the legs than anticipated. Hot on the heels of my previous workout for the legs (Sunday) and I was suitably refreshed for this, taking advantage of a spare and carefree afternoon for a change.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Awesome stuff Floydy - I can only boggle at those weights! As I mentioned, I can do 80kg on the sled but I'm sticking with that for now because I still get twinges in my right knee. Abductor and Adductor I am at 30 to 35kg for now but like the sled I do reps of 30 at a time. I'll definitely give that routine you suggested a tryout, probably tomorrow.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Tachyon, anybody who exercises seriously like we do will tell you that it isn't all about lifting very weights to retain or indeed recover strength. That's just one area of keeping oneself fit and while it obviously builds muscle and pays a great part in supporting the everyday pressure we put on our joints and ligaments, this can just as practically be done using light weights and even non-weight bearing exercises such as walking lunges and push-ups - i.e. body weight exercises.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Tachyon, you probably just wrote the most valuable post on this thread and forum for the year!Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Thank you very much, Floydy and Surfermom, I appreciate the comments especially as I know you work so hard yourselves. Your encouragement means a lot! I'm very flattered to be used as an example, Surfermom, so I definitely don't mind at all.
