10 PUSHUPS 10 SITUPS 10 SQUATS 1KM WALK EVERYDAY

if you don't stick to this, me and pizza get to be mods

I walked maybe a quarter mile today, so I just now supplemented it with 20 squats, 14 push-ups, and 10 sit-ups.

And 14 was all the push-ups I could do! HOLY COW I am out of shape. I used to be able to jump like 4 or 5 feet in the air!

So I'm subscribed. I don't think I'll lose any weight, but this might help me get on a regimen if I know there's a thread on RMN waiting for me.

I worry about how much time I sit in front of a computer... so I am doing daily exercises too. Its pretty exciting when I can do more more than before.

I'm trying to work up to 100 just like Baldy there!

I've been doing mine with weights- Currently at 60 curls (half bicep, half hammer) with 10 lbs, 30 tricep lifts with 5 lbs, 45 deep squats with 15 lbs*, and elbow plank at about 30 seconds three times. Plus yoga and bowling once a week, plus housework.

I need to actually do some cardio, I just hate it.

I'm still fat because metabolism leaves after like 30, but I have a shitload more energy and I can carry heavy stuff much easier, so I can feel smug about being stronk.

*I was previously up to 25 lbs on my squats, then I learned that not-deep squats are bad for the knees, so I had to start over.

Last night I was too buzzed to make a serious post here, but now...

Right now I just try to jog a lot. It's been my main form of exercise for around a year- I got out of it a bit during the winter for obvious reasons, but I'm getting back in now. I can go for about close to a mile straight before I have to break. I try to do about two half mile or more jogs when I go out in the evening.

In between jogging days or on days with shitty weather I do leg lifts and push ups. About two sets of 10 for push ups and three sets of 10 for leg lifts at the moment. I should be doing more core exercise like planks too, but I always forget.

It also helps that I gave up soda about two years ago, and I don't eat much in the way of sweets. I have an issue with chips + hummus and pizza however, but I try to at least make allowances for it and make up for it otherwise, on days that I eat that stuff. Having a vegetarian diet helps with energy and avoiding unhealthy food as well. I basically never fry anything anymore, for instance.

I've lost about 50 pounds over the last year and I'm down to ~220 now. I still have a mean beer gut that I need to destroy, but there's a lot more muscle definition on the legs and arms now, so I'm pretty pleased.

I recently started going to the gym again. Just for a half-hour in the morning a few days a week, just to start doing something. I definitely am much more energetic for the rest of the day if I work out in the mornings.


Anyway,

That's why I got my dad's treadmill.

(And then rarely use it because, again, fuck cardio. Uni uses it tho so it's all good.)

I should be doing more core exercise like planks too, but I always forget.

Planks are so great. I was doing situps before, but planks are a lot more fun. My yoga instructor showed a few variations, like moving the sides of your hips to the ground and back up, and I was like, "HOLY SHIT THAT'S AWESOME!"

Cutting sugar is a good idea in general.

I've had good results with keeping my portions down, and relying on unsalted nuts or mozzarella cheese sticks for protein snacks (hummus is also super great for this), and then using popcorn or rice cakes if I'm craving something like chips. Also FRUUUUUIIIIIT!

The weight training means I haven't lost any weight, but I have lost size; the chub's just slowly turning to muscle. :D

Life goal:


I am too lazy to actually work hard enough to attain it but I still want it.

ETA: Other life goal:

HabitRPG/Habitica is awesome for time management.
