I woke up and did a 2 hour corse session. What a great way to start the day. Had to hold in my poop half way through so sphincter flex enhanced as a bonus.
Anyone know of a good app to setup your workout plan e.g. reps and/or times and it runs the whole thing start to finish with audible alarms? I hate having to keep going back to my phone after each little internal. I want to just punch in the whole workout, maybe save a Monday workout, then a Tuesday with different focus and just sort of click start and having it run me through without having to interface into the phone again. HIIT style I suppose.

Hell yes! Good job OmegaI've made some good progress in the last month or so. I'm starting to see some gains but most importantly I can FEEL it. More strength and endurance. I've been hitting the weights for about 45 minutes 4 times a week. I don't have a lot of equipment so my options are a bit limited but I've been pleased with my progress in August.
Cool, thanks, will give it a run.Strong Workout Tracker app is my favorite and I've tried quite a few. It does everything you listed.
Cool, thanks, will give it a run.
Will do, installed the app today. Will setup my week, specifically tomorrow morning's workout, and report back after giving it a go.Tell us how you feel

How’s that shoulder? That description of pain seems…. Not normal. Were you doing certain shoulder lifts?Gym went well or shit depending on perspective.

Hey there, thanks for checking up! All I can say is, yes I'm getting there!
Found a gym by chance next to childcare, just in time for Autumn and shit weather. Only drawback: no free weights, it’s a bit of a hippie zen place.
Don't think so, they mostly go with "everyone should be comfortable going to the gym" and they decided free weights are probably the main attraction for your typical bodybuilders. They also have "women corner" with some machines dedicated to stretching.AKA, a place where people seek out affairs or swinging. Not claiming that's what your doing but that's what almost every establishment with that vibe is.
Forget about trying to go to the gym on World Bench Press Day(Monday)
Don’t beat yourself up about it. Happens to absolutely everyone. You were on a trip and enjoying yourself! Whatever weight you gained is probably worth it.I put on weight. Or lost some but put a lot on. Let me explain
I Haven’t weighed myself since my USA trip in august But I did today. I put on weight. (Maybe I shifted some weight but it was so much that overall I gained weight if that makes sense)
Well fuck it just gotta be more consistent and strict.
I did 5*3 navy seal burpee’s elevated on the press up side of course. (So they are easier for me) with some light jogging on the spot
And some body weight squats After
No more snacking now, gotta be tough.
Wish me luck I’m 45 soon and it feels like the weight won’t shift. But I can put it on easy as pie. Hmmmn pie. Would like a nice steak and Ale pie right now. Or a pizza. Why is good so delicious?!?
Faaaaaark
My issue too. I snack like mad. Hurl looks ok but I’m not sure. I sometimes just make porridge when hungry lol. Bung in fruits etc. Then I torpedo it by eating crisps and chocolateDoes anyone mess with meal replacement shit? Huel keeps advertising to me. I was thinking about using them to replace my lunches at work. I tend to eat like shit while I'm at work.
Fasting might do that at work. I know the snacks are the ones doing this to me. But I will try again he eating meals have a fruit and no snacks in between.Don’t beat yourself up about it. Happens to absolutely everyone. You were on a trip and enjoying yourself! Whatever weight you gained is probably worth it.
For me, during the week I’m pretty strict. Weekends, I’m a bit more loose (don’t go crazy). If I know I’m having a big Saturday night, I’ll fast for Saturday.
Maybe something like that Can help you?
What if I'm on a balancing board when I do it?you gots to stop watching that porn. fitness doesn't fit in wit that
then it's almost a net positive, those gains differentWhat if I'm on a balancing board when I do it?
270 metre run no stopping
90 body weight squats
3 * 5 basic burpees on concrete (no push-ups) short jog on spot (will work on knees up after)
3 * 10 kb swings
Knackered.
I aim to try a 30 day burpee challenge
This guy here
I think he is taller than me and around the same weight/build.
This has motivated me a lot
thank you for the adviceNot that you asked, but really, focus more on your nutrition. The old axiom applies here: "You cannot out train a bad diet!" Burpees are one of the most metabolically demanding exercises, but you just cant burn off enough calories doing them without addressing your nutrition to make any meaningful dent in your weight.
If I were you, I would focus on getting a sustainable meal plan together first....This sounds simple, but its not if you havent done it before. Im not talking a diet here, I'm talking what you can day in day out stick to.
Once that is accomplished, Id start addressing your workouts. At your point, anything is good (and I don't know if you have access to a gym), but obvioulsy you are going to want to minimize muscle loss while burning fat. This means a little more Dumbbell/Barbell lifts. (But you can do some body weight stuff too). (Yes, what you eat day in and day out will change depending on your workouts).
Get this right, and that fat will melt off you.
Ha! Good start. (But I would attempt to go further if you can on the nutrition).Did some burpees
thank you for the advice
i have cut out crisps and chocolate and snacks will eat fruit etc for snacks.
but yeah I am sure the diet is my main sticking point as to be fair I have been eating shit in the snacking sense.
I did lose a lot of weight eating healthy before but once I stopped keeping it under control it went back on.
once I get fitter I will add more reps etc to my routine.
at the moment I am seeing if I can actually do the move etc and learning how to.
exactly I just want to get my weight down. forget looking like an instagram dude, I just want to be able to play games with my kids and not be winded. be able to do things and not worry about it.Ha! Good start. (But I would attempt to go further if you can on the nutrition).
But no rush! You are doing good things and not trying to wreck yourself in the beginning. Man, I've seen it too many times where I see some beginner in the gym with a trainer totally kicking their ass. Sure, it may be good to shed a few pounds, but in no way would that be sustainable for a beginner. As soon as the crash is over, they go back to what they were doing...Weight comes back on. (And they dread working out).
There is so much information out there about trying to be "perfect." The reality for most people is that you can be far less from perfect and just be CONSISTENT (and a little patient), and things will be much better in the long run. Sustainable healthy lifestyle. Most people don't have the time (or the inclination) to be super ripped...that takes years. Most people like to not be fat and not too soft around the edges...This is attainable without going bonkers.
I think most folks are like that....and there is so much "fitness" literature out there that isn't really aimed at that, but rather to be "perfect."exactly I just want to get my weight down. forget looking like an instagram dude, I just want to be able to play games with my kids and not be winded. be able to do things and not worry about it.
yeah to be fair last time I lost a lot of weight I did some crazy things like work out for an hour plus nearly every day at a gym. I even got fit enough to do a half marathon. then people started telling me how good I looked with losing weight I started to slip and to be honest the chunk of time I took to get fit well time seems something I have less of to spare, so I think why not just do about a mast 45 mins a lot more and something i can do that doesn't require a gym due to not wanting to pay and commit to a gym.. I will keep on chipping away and be consistent
speaking of which today I woke up and forced myself to workout out side doing 10 sets of burpees for three rounds (elevated of course), first round basic burpees with push ups to get a feel for things, second round navy seals, third ten alternating shoulder taps between push ups.
in between I did 12 body weight squats
then 30 dips in total
It was some dudes alt pretending to be a ladyWhy did Lady Jane get banned?
Ha, never thought it was a lady to begin with.It was some dudes alt pretending to be a lady
Whatever works for ya. I would think some stretching at work would probably be a bit better than hitting a few body squats on the toilet, but you do you.I've been adding the greesing the grove routine when at work, as silly as it sounds I do some bodyweight squats when I need to use the toilet. (private cubicle lol) just anytime I need to use the toilet I do 10 and body weights squats.
thought iu would to it as I am at my desk a lot of the day
I;m not doing yoga on the bogWhatever works for ya. I would think some stretching at work would probably be a bit better than hitting a few body squats on the toilet, but you do you.
Try these stretches they really speeded up my recovery with a bit of patience. I've been heavy lifting for over twenty years and injuries are inevitable over time. The part with the hammer I do with a Cold Steel baseball bat as I get a better stretch.I haven't been able to lift for over a month and it's making me crazy. I have tendonitis in my right elbow from some manual labor earlier this year. It sucks. I've put on some weight since then as I didn't change my eating habits, thinking it would be a quick recovery.
