What did you do to exercise today?

: Less than an hour of resistance training a week could reduce your risk for a heart attack or stroke by almost 40 to 70 per cent, according to a new study from Iowa State University.

It is getting to be that time of year. If you are going to start a program in the new year, think about this first:

Several people bring their children / toddlers to my gym. They have a cute"weight bench" for them.

Not sure if you want/need these. The first column is lift about 10% more than your body weight - ie if you are 200, lift 220.

Deadlift standards for men or women, and by age.

Vitamin B-12 Shots Are Being Hyped As A Good Way To Lose Weight.

Of course, and I didn't know this, the recommend amount of B-12 is in a double cheese burger. So I say, skip the shots.


If you are on a proton pump inhibitors (like Prilosec or Nexium)
or if you have your stomach "reduced" - ie band/cut etc. then get the shots.

Looks great! Feels Good!

Dr. said he also looked at my two day old MRI Right knee.
Looks like a bomb went off in there...………….

Surgery in January.

I exercised my right hand and worked on our final quarter, 2018 estimated taxes. I wrote a few checks too.

; . )

My husband walks 2 miles every day and does upper body strength exercise at a nice, clean gym.

I may join it because it has a very nice swimming pool (Woo hoo!) and it has a nice track too.

I do moderate exercises here at home. (I use a cane on and off but only when I really need it. Mainly when I first get up out of bed or having a really bad day.)

At this rate might as well just get everything else put under the scalpel.

Hope this'll be the last surgery ya need.

Is your resolution to get stronger?
Not a bad one.

Try this: 3 ~1 hour sessions/week. Simple.

StrongLifts 5×5: Get Stronger by Lifting Weights only 3x/Week

You can use dumb bells rather than a bar bell. You can use stuff you have around the house ( 50# of seed / lead / dog food / engine parts etc)

If you read Starting Strength, you'll see a similar program.

I've been working out more days a week then not and have seen good muscle gains. My goal is to get a workout in every day now - even if it's at home I have enough dumbbells, an adjustable bench plus a yoga ball and other type stuff available.

My knee is getting stronger after the last injury 2 months ago.

3rd straight day doing 20 min on a bike (I seem to be less bored surfing the net and that's easier on a recumbent bike)
4.5 miles day 1
4.89 miles day 2
5.88 miles day 3

Have moved off some machines for free weights because I'm repping them at 20-30 on full stacks. Bench press I've started out light doing 15 reps per set. The stableizer muscles are still gaining memory with that stuff.

Other then that I'm getting at least one core muscle excersise in per day.

364 days left to keep going

 

[RicInOR]

I start a weight course tomorrow; am keeping up the 3x week crossfit.

2018 Jan 1 250
2019 Jan 1 210.
I have 35 to go.
First goal is 199 by 2/1 ~ 2lbs/week. I am intermittent fasting Keto foods.

My goals has been functional fitness.
I did pull 1 pull up and 3 chin ups, tho not strict, today.

I do want to find a place that will do body fat measurements, heard a rumor there is a supplements shop near my home that will. If someone knows a place in Hillsboro/Beaverton area please share.

 

[surevaliance]

Nothing crazy for me anynore as I'm 52.
One mile run, 50 push-ups, 100 squats, stretching - at 5 am, 7 days a week, no excuses.

 

[AshWilliams]

I when to the gym twice during the holiday break and ate whatever I felt like. When I went into the gym today I could definitely tell a difference from my usual routine. I had to scale back the weight a slight bit and I gassed more easily.

It's amazing what an extended deviation from your routine will do. I'm pretty sure it was the total lack of restraint food-wise that did it.

 

[RicInOR]

I am awesome. My fitness tracker said so.

Bench press day in my new weight class.
I was able to go 40# over my last PR - which was set in early July.
