Continue here, it is fun to see what we all are doing and what routine you do. I am having a rest day today, what about you? I follow a full body workout, it is good cos of the frequency of body parts and also it gives 96hrs of rest which is perfect recovery time for the protein synthesis recovery time  |

Just got back
I'm sure the spaghetti hoops on toast and the bakewell slice I've just scoffed have undone the calories I shed but hey ho
I feel better in myself physically and mentally after a good gym session and that is my main driver |

I haven’t been for a fortnight. I pulled my shoulder then got struck down with a horrible cold and chest infection. I’m sick of being ill now so I’m en route. It’ll either kill or cure me. |

Remember if it's a 5 day you need to reverse the rotation each week

Speed work on bench tomorrow 8 x 2 @ 110kg given my shoulder is a little iffy. |

I'm trying to be well rounded in the gym. Cardio days are days where I have to force myself to go. |

What are your goals ?
Although maintaining body balance is important focusing upon goals is an effective way of improving balance |

Injury rehab mostly. In that I've found that I enjoy exercise (in some ways) for the first time ever, so trying to capitalise on that. Nothing specific apart from minimising the injury, which I should remedy. But it's the first time I've gone to the gym for reasons other than "because exercise is good for you and I should". |

Recovery day today
Spin out day tomorrow - possible short turbo session to get the legs moving at high cadence / low load
Strength /gym day Tuesday - squats and some high intensity turbo / static bike(pyramids at 150%FTP)
Weds active recovery - just some road miles
Thursday - turbo medium intensity - probably three sets of Russian steps -
Friday recovery and maybe some yoga / stretching
Saturday competition day
Sunday recovery
This programme, BTW is useless for anyone not doing what I do  |

Only cardio I do is walking, even pre comp. Sometimes mountain bike but only because I enjoy it
Undecided of whether to train or not today, due to train arms. Gotta have a seperate day because the stubborn fuckers wont grow  |

I went earlier today, what about you? I did a quick full body workout and I focused on my chest. I did a new pb on the incline chest press of 1 rep max of 96kg, it is my favourite chest exersice. I like to pyramid the sets down from 10 reps to 1, for example 10, 8, 6, 4 and 1 |

I work the other way as I feel I'm stronger at that start of the workout. So if I'm on a heavy chest day, I'll work on 4 heavy sets of 4 - 6 reps on the flat bench then 2 or 3 burn down sets of 10 - 12 reps. Then I'll move on to the incline bench. |

That is good and also a way to do it, yeah I want to get that burn first before I get to the heavy reps. |

I learnt to climb a rope yesterday at the gym.
Today was a little bit of practise on that and then mainly leg day, my favourite day.
Tomorrow is Spin class. I'll throw some pull ups and upper body in after the class. |

Maybe we need a ‘summer bodies’ thread for those of us who want to tone up for summer and shed those winter cushions? |

Yep
Broken toes slowed me down for a few weeks, then the chest virus/flu for over a week, away visiting my mum, then came home & full blown hayfever has floored me since Tues.
I've got myself into a slump, I know not exercising affects my mood, it's a vicious circle.
I've got to work tonight & I just want to crawl into bed and cry

I do 40 mins cardio followed by a general full body workout with weights. Some days I target but general it is just an all round workout. |

After much procrastinating, and staring at my gym bag.
I finally dragged myself back in today
An hours cardio.
20 mins each, bike, x trainer, treadmill.
15 min kettlebell core workout
I may have uttered some very unlady like phrases under my breath.
Be doing that everyday for rest of the week.
Back on the weights from next Monday

Yep. Been once already and will be there tonight. I’m feeling a bit sad because the Club I go to is closing for refurbishment until October and have made all the staff except the manager redundant and are making them reapply for jobs if they want to work at the new place when it reopens. The new owners who have made the decision aren’t sharing any plans about what it will be like with the customers. The whole thing stinks really. So sadly we’re looking at moving elsewhere- I loved the place, it was the first place I’ve ever been able to stick at it because of the home from home friendly environment. I hope I remain as motivated at the new place. |

I've been twice this week. I'm trying so hard but it's bloody painful. I'm pushing myself though and will keep it up. |

I’ve managed it twice this week for HIIT classes, after a couple of weeks off with a stinking cold. |

Aaah rest! I think I read about this once. In an old book. My memory is a little foggy but I'm sure it's either a broad leaved plant favoured by a Guatemalan tree frog. Or was it a small snake infested rock just west of Tuvalu? Either one.. |

"Yep. Been once already and will be there tonight. I’m feeling a bit sad because the Club I go to is closing for refurbishment until October and have made all the staff except the manager redundant and are making them reapply for jobs if they want to work at the new place when it reopens. The new owners who have made the decision aren’t sharing any plans about what it will be like with the customers. The whole thing stinks really. So sadly we’re looking at moving elsewhere- I loved the place, it was the first place I’ve ever been able to stick at it because of the home from home friendly environment. I hope I remain as motivated at the new place.
Always rubbish to hear when somewhere you enjoy going changes. Hopefully it will maintain its character and make some improvements "
It doesn’t look that way - hike will n membership fees by from by 33%, champagne served by the new pool with hydrotherapy section. A new restaurant that will seat 80. It won’t have the same feel at all and the staff have been treated appallingly. The new employment contract the manager has been offered, I’m not even sure it’s legal.
It is clearly aimed at a different clientele. I’m not sure how it aims to compete. We’ve decided to join a new one and are very unlikely to return. |

I have squated 1000kg on one leg whilst hoping today . Just benched 500kg x 8 x 8 x 8, could have done more but I strained my arm wanking last night , just finishing off with a 100 mile sprint with a car tied to my back |

Upper body & core today.
Back on the weights after a little break.
It really wasn't pretty, I've lost so much strength
But damn! I feel good now.

Going to a gym of sorts tomorrow, i am heading to Holyhead mountain for some serious climbing after a day on the quarry yesterday.
Gone are my days of Heavy Duty HIT training but I still do lots of exercises for climbing and mountaineering. |

Restarted Monday, after a little break, new plan to get me back upto where I was a month ago
All motivated, raring to go.
Then I gave blood yesterday & got a serious talking too from the nurse about no strenuous excercise for at least 24hrs
Aaaargh
So enforced rest day today
Box set catch up & housework is as vigorous as I'm getting then |
