What did you do to exercise today?

[BBQ Guy]

Arms today. 60 minutes. Hi reps. Light to heavy weight.
Tomorrow, snowboarding. Then leg day at the gym.

 

[Siglvr]

Went out to one of the local trails and turned right...into the brush to crosscountry walkabout some. The blow down kept the pace super slow and eventually I gave up and got back on the trail. 3 more miles. Pup flushed a Mountain Grouse, but it ducked into brush and she didn't get it to flush to wing.

Envious.

 

[AshWilliams]

Went to do Leg Day awhile back. Weights stacked on the leg press machine with towel and water bottle. It all sits there for 5 minutes before guy walks up, does a set, and walks off. I'm watching him and he is running a circuit on ALL the leg stations with towels and weights at them.

Don't be this guy.

That irritates me!
I get it but I don't get it.

I've had folks whine because I have 2 cables tied up with up for a super set.
I can't imagine how bunched up their panties would be if they saw a circuit set being done with 8 exercises.

I love going at times when the gym is empty or slow. That's me in the background Snap Fitness off I5. I frequent 4-5 of them.

Yeah, while I'm griping, another peeve of mine is people who lounge on the equipment looking at their phones for five minutes. I suppose I should be assertive and just ask, "Hey, mind if I work in?" It's just that there are so many phone zombies at the gym that it astounds me. My phone goes in my pocket the entire time and only because I stream spotify.

Another peeve is people who stand there and watch TVs on the wall. I wear a ballcap to block that bubblegum out.

 

[Burt Gummer]

Good luck with that! Mobile phone zombies everywhere. My mobile phone stays in the car or in my locker. My friend, who is also about 60, acts like a teen with his phone at the gym. Constantly playing with it, checking it, watching it, staring at it - worshipping it. UGH. Society started sliding into the sewer big time in 2007. The advent of mobiles/social media.

This guy really nailed the braindead narcissism that has taken over. Sadly, Idiocracy is already here.

 

[BBQ Guy]

I track my workout on my phone...
I don't spend more than 30 seconds typing in sets, reps, and weight.

I've watched ladies park their nicely shaped asses on a piece of equipment. Do a rep. 5 minutes on the phone. Do a rep. 5 minutes. Rep. 5 minutes. Rep. 5 minutes. Rep. Then sit there for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile folks are lighting fires and sharpening pitch forks.

I enjoy my days that stuff is clear and I hammer the work out in 60 minutes full intensity with zero holdups.

 

[Siglvr]

Early Morning, worked out in the gym, weights. I'm with BBQ guy and don't sit around at all, try to get my heart rate up as I lift. Do biceps, move to tricep machine, back to bicep etc etc. end with 15 min in the sauna stretching.

After breakfast, moved/installed head size to microwave sized rocks for a landscaping project.

Late AM, went up and skiied at Meadows till the quads were pwned and the snow was warmish.

Did a short hike on the way home. Fitbit says 16,921 steps today, less than the 19,000+ yesterday. Best of all, no alcohol and minimal sugar today. 2 days back, stupidly drank a full bottle of Cabernet starting with dinner and also ate a full pint of Haagen Daz after dinner.

I question the wisdom and fortitude of anyone who says they "stupidly" drank a full bottle of Cabernet. You should not beat yourself up over it...
Regarding inhaling a pint of Häagen-Dazs, on the other hand...

Gluttony is it's own reward? LOL.

 

[Defense Minister]

130 push-ups in 3 sets, and walked 6.5 miles including climbing the equivalent of 54 flights of stairs.

 

[Burt Gummer]

Really pushed hard today at the gym but need some variety. When the weather is warmer I'll go to Dunaway Park off Barbur in Portland and walk/run the track. Just to be outdoors and catch some Vitamin D rays and fresh air. None of which happen at the gym with the face diaper mandate still in place.

When my back was bugging me for a week or so and I stopped going to the gym, mentally I started falling into a funk. Hell w/ muscles and all that, for me it is therapy for lack of a better word.

I watch some motivational videos on You Tube now and then. UFC Fan. Hardcore (Khamzat Style) workouts.

6 hours snowboarding yesterday.

Shoulder day today. 60 minutes.

Snowboarding tomorrow.

 

[AshWilliams]

@Burt Gummer You watching the fight? Islam gonna 0wn.

 

[Burt Gummer]

Of course I am. I have done well with my minor betting so far. I bet at -300 that the Islam/Bobby fight does NOT go the distance. That should be easy $$$. (Until it isn't, but my largest bet). Smaller bet that Islam wins by submission. Also 3-part parlay where two have already one - last one Misha. Fun stuff.

Islam at -900 is not worth betting - crazy. So worth digging up other angles. I am not a big gambler, just for entertainment/sport and it makes watching so much more exciting.

Also went the gym this AM and REALLY pushed it hard. We need a UFC/MMA thread here!

EDIT: Well it didn't do the distance! But Misha was a sloppy wrestler. About broke even in the end and that is all I can ask for .............

 

[slimmer13]

115 mile snowmobile ride today. If you've never rode sleds, they kick your bubblegum.
