Today's Workout Thread

[harrygr]

Early today I ran 6.5 km. The weather was rainy, but quite warm and the exercise was really enjoyable!

I have been working really long days lately, and for some reason I seem to get by even better with a good and long run before calling it night.
So, these days I'm finishing most days off with a 10 mile run and a beer Makes for a good nights sleep!

I will sometimes finish the day off with a beer run as well, thankfully the store is close

Plenty of inspiration here, now to find the motivation.

Two hours' of bouldering tonight doing mainly under-hanging stuff. I was feeling very strong although it took a little while to get in to it. By the end of it my forearms were so pumped I looked like Popeye...

An hour and a bit of bouldering tonight, my biceps were a little sore; I didn't warm up enough. Did some under hanging stuff and then some flat wall stuff. Tried a new problem and got 1/2 way through it. The problem I found hard a week or so ago I now find quite achievable.

One nice problem I like I did all the way up and then 'down climbed' i.e. did it in reverse. Next time I'll try and send it (climb it), down climb it and then climb up it again...

Well, I have to say Carl, you're an inspiration. I'm starting to devise my own home workout, and getting baselines on what I can do...Push-up's, sit-up's etc. And after I told some of my mates about your video, they've upped their own workout routines. Aside from working out baselines, my other big struggle was choosing a Long Board (like a skateboard, but on steroids). Yep. A middle aged bloke planning on getting back into skateboarding (in a fashion) after 30 plus years of not. It's all exercise though .

Temps have been below freezing for the last two weeks. Woke up today and it's 60 F outside! I'm going for a nice long run before the snow comes back.

That's nice (to be an inspiriation) and about the video...

I KNOW I rave about it, but boudlering is a REALLY good workout, esp for those who don't have a LOT of 'extra weight' to move around.

I like 'base line' stuff. I often do 25 pushups (nose to ground) followed by 1 min rest, followed by 25 pushups, 1 min rest and then another set of 25. If I can do that then I'm at a 'standard' (for me) fitness level. Also chinups are a great measure of strength, but of course you can get more reps as you lose 'extra weight'.

You didn't have to shout it out, it was obvious you were saying us lardies will be useless boulderers.

Oh no, I'm not saying that. I'm saying you lardies will be better boulderers with less 'extra weight'

Think of it as a positive statement rather than a negative, critical one.

Of course, you probably don't give a TOSS about bouldering and aspire to be a Sumo Wrestler, in which case you'd counter with 'One can excel at Sumo Wrestling if one adds weight' (i.e. you skinny bags of bones should put on some BEEF)...
