Daily exercise log for everyone :)


Recommended Posts

Sarge & Mrs. are loaded up and en route here.

 

Easy Peasy

 

 

Great day in Red River Gorge and Muir Valley. About 4 miles of hiking with heavy elevation turnover (up and down up and down up and dow very large hills (400 feet elevation change).

 

Got all the climbs we wanted to in at Animal Cracker Wall . Mrs. Sarge, who is relatively wigged out at Lead Climbing due to fear of falling, lead all three of the following routes and upped her game quite a bit this weekend:  Casey Harvey, and Rikki-Tikki-Tavi.  Sorry. No pics this time.  It was just us (Sarge & The Mrs) so nobody to hold a camera (one of us climbing, one belaying (holding the rope) - no free hands for pics).

 

***

 

For today's Special Sauce: Mrs. Sarge wants to run a 12-miler. Her 10k win (age group) Saturday has boosted her motivation and she wants to train hard to place decently at the Half Marathon the end of this month.

 

FML. Sarge was planning on an 8-miler, easy/slow pace tonight. Now she's a gonna kill him with a fast paced 12-miler.

Sounds good Sarge... that sounds like it would do me in.. lol

 

I have been a bit busy and not reporting in....  so....

 

In the past seven days...

I have done 6 one hour cycle classes,

two 30 minute personal training with weights,

about 5 hours of weight and machine work on my own,

a 1 hour private pilates session with trainer on the reformer,

and I guess I peddled my bike outside about 70 or 80 miles outside.

 

I am so happy to be outside again!

Went to spin class tonight...had a little malfunction with the release on one of my shoe.  Seems somebody was touching something they weren't supposed to and tightened the shoe as tight as it would go....couldn't get it to release.  My shoes, you push the lever down to release, well it was pushed down as far as it would go, stuck...used one of the tokens for class to pry it open and yeah I fixed it.  So, just spin, there wasn't time for weights after I changed and fixed my shoe.  Happy to get to class though :)   

 

Last I checked with measurements and such, I had lost 5% body weight :)

On wednesday I had a 1 hour pilates private.. and  I peddled 40 miles.

 

Club opened at 4:40am today, 1 hour with machines, 45 minute spin, sauna, shower and home by 8:00

 

Yesterday re-measured with the trainer.... My weight has stayed the same in the last two months, but most of my measurements have gotten smaller inspite of getting stronger and having more muscle as apposed to flab. My trainer says I need to eat carbs, carbs and more carbs.. He says I am not eating enough so I am going to focus on trying to eat more before and after work outs.  Hard to take carbs on the go though.. nothing is convienient when you have my food restrictions..

 

In december my body fat was 24.7%,,, yesterday it was 18.1%

Back down to Muir Valley (Red River Gorge) today to hit the rest of the routes on this wall that we didn't get to last week.

 

Just Sarge and some friends. Mrs. Sarge is in Boston delivering babies.[1]

Lat pull down, triceps press, seated pulley row, upright rows, then spin class.  I really miss going to spin weekday mornings.  One of my instructors has a fitness studio and just ordered bikes and mentioned having a 6:30 pm spin class.  Going to have to look into that!

10-miler this morning. Basement treadmill. 0% grade/incline (no hill). 1:15:33 (7:33/mile).  It was a rough one but faster than goal pace for the upcoming race.

 

Half-marathon in less than 3 weeks ...

 

2014-06-28 : Official goal has been adjusted/set at 1:41:00  based on today's run. That will absolutely smash Sarge's current PR by over 3 full minutes.

While you're all going nuts, I've done 21 minutes of yoga lol. Building up 1 minute a day back to the half hour and then add in the next wave when I feel comfortable. Loving the stomach burn today from working my core two days in a row :)

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.
