Oooh you have a Samsung gearfit....me too I just got one last month I love it since I always get Samsung phones so it syncs much better than the fit bit and does more.

Changing things up a bit.  I don't really like scheduling in so-called "off days."  Instead, I'm going to schedule hard days and easy days.  Monday, Wednesday, and Friday will be the "hard" days with strength and HIIT work.  While on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday I'm going to focus more on steady-state cardio and mobility work.

 

This morning my strength work consisted of: Sinlge-Leg Kettlebell Deadlifts, High Box Kettlebell Step-Ups, Inverted Rows on Olympic Rings, Barbell Military Press, Medicine Ball Russian Twists, Renegade Rows with Dumbbells, and Overhead Farmer's Walk.  Finished up with intervals on the rower.

Hi all,

I was wondering if you guys are using fitbit. I thought about creating a group and invite people from QSMB, but then the forum died. So I thought there might be quittrain users interested in joining a group to share cheers on our daily activity. I am not definitely not fit but it helps with the quit to go for long walks and try to move more. So in case you are interested I created the group Quittrain in the fitbit application and it is open, so you can just join.

Cheers,

g.

Glad to say I did get my workouts in yesterday morning and this morning too: 1/2 hour on the elliptical yesterday and 1/2 hour cardio kickboxing this morning. I have to get up earlier especially with my new commute but it makes a huge difference in how I feel both physically and emotionally so it’s definitely worth it.  So my new bedtime now is 9pm. Alarm goes off at 5am. Oops already late. G’night all!

So yesterday was one of my easy days.  In the morning, I did 25 minutes on the rower and 20 minutes of mobility work.  In the evening, I took advantage of the time change and got in a 4.3 mile hike on the trails near my house.

 

This morning got back to strength work: Single-Leg Deadlifts, High Box Step-Ups, Inverted Rows, Military Press, Russian Twists, Renegade Rows, and Farmer's Walks.  Finished up with 15-minutes of jump rope.

Sheesh, Boo.  Your easy days would kill mere mortals!

 

Keeping to the early to bed early to rise mantra.  30 minutes on the elliptical this morning.  Instead of the usual 3 miles, I got to 3.22, which doesn't seem like a big difference but I was trying to go a little faster and it was definitely more effort than the .22 would reflect.

It was bound to happen once I got into the whole health and fitness lifestyle.  The only thing I've ever done in moderation is moderation.

Yes boo you are pretty hardcore good for you ;) pleased to report the kayaking was absolutely wicked. And arms and core a good workout. It was much more of a workout than i imagined. Today might have to be a 'very easy day' as we are hungover. So a stroll might be the most we do. But we will see, might feel up for biking after brekkie. But might just walk around this place and explore.

This morning, I did some light boxing work: shadow boxing to get the heart rate up and a couple of rounds on the double-end bag as my obsession with mastering that apparatus continues.  Jumped rope for 15 minutes and did 10 minutes of core work (Hanging Leg Raises, Landmine Twists, Good Mornings).  Finished up with a full mobility session.  Did my normal mobility work and practiced a couple of  newer moves that I saw in Stuart McGill's videos on YouTube.

Got right back to the basics this morning.  Strength work: Deadlifts(5x5), Overhead Press(5x5), and Bench Press(5x5).  Finished up with 5 rounds on the heavy bag.

 

I felt a little like The Count from Sesame Street: 5!  Five sets!  Five reps!  Five rounds!  Today's workout was brought to you by the number...

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
