Training logs

[Meerkat]

IIRC, BlueZ is in his early 50s. I'm in my late 40s. Of course, you ladies are all 29, right?

So yall are the age of my kids, only your younger than my son .

Today I took the walk late again so I best be careful or will get lazy.

 

[Spikedriver]

Did a little resistance band work at home. The weather is gorgeous, so I then went for a 1.3 mile walk/jog. That was plenty considering my hamstrings are still complaining at me. But I (slowly) jogged enough to get my heart rate up near 150 so it was good enough for now. I didn't exercise at all in Wyoming so I didn't want to push it my first day back...

 

[Meerkat]

Short walk yesterday, but today was the longest walk yet, plus picked up fallen and broken trees and tree limbs out of trail from storm a few days ago, rven cut a few vines with hubby pocket knife.
Of coures there is always xooking and cleaning too but I seldom count that.

 

[Spikedriver]

I didn't really exercise, but I helped one brother move his old water heater up the stairs and out of his house, then helped the other brother move an armoire from his 2nd floor downstairs to the 1st floor. Also did a bit of shooting...

 

[Meerkat]

Still walking and adding a little dance to it, may use shovel and turn raised bed later on .

 

[Patchouli]

went for a walk today, with the dog

 

[Spikedriver]

I really worked out tonight for the first time in two weeks. It hurt, but I think the break was good for my hamstrings. I had no discomfort tonight...

30 minutes on the treadmill, including my first 10 minute mile since I started doing cardio. Total distance just under 2.5 miles, and about 425 calories burned...

Oh, BTW - my scale read 220.8 today. I haven't been under 220 pounds since 2011 or 12. I'm so close I can taste it...

Good for you Spike!

I'm having to slow down some now but still going for a alk in a fewminutes. It wil be slow and short.

 

[Meerkat]

Did the walk and I feel better. Only abou 10 minutes but got the blood pumping.

 

[Meerkat]

After venting on politics I went for my walk.

Today I made 20 minutes and 3 ties further.:lil guy:

 

[Patchouli]

You're doing great, @Meerkat for what you've been through lately.

Yes, 29 every year gets old so I started reverse aging.
I went for a brief walk Tuesday night with dog and one of my girls. Might have seen an armadillo. Went for a short walk on Sunday too. Hey at least I moved.

ya;; help me to get up and move ,especially when I don't want to.

I think the cardio is probably far more important for you. My Pops had a heart attack at age 47. He started doing cardio afterward, but little to no weights. Around age 60 he added very light (3, 5, and 10 pounds) dumbbells to his exercise, and he always does stretches. He turns 85 next month and is still standing straight with full mobility, and still walks 4-5 times a week.

If you haven't already, I'd talk to the doc about weight training so soon after a stroke. I'm not an expert though, and you know your own body better than anyone else, including the doc. You sound like you're on the right track to me...

Spike you were right,guess [ had the heart attack you warned me of] I should make an appointment with you next time insteadof the doctor.Just kidding. They saved my life.

 

[Spikedriver]

Cut 20 seconds of my mile time - 1 mile in 9:40. But my hamstrings are complaining at me again, so I guess I need to back off a bit. Still, this middle aged fat guy is making progress.

And I broke 220 on the scale this morning, finally! 219.6 - got to see if I can keep it going...

 

[Meerkat]

Time to dance ,irs too cold out to go for a walk.

 

[SheepDog]

I recommend the "cotton eyed Joe" or the "ten step".

Hi SheepD, glad to see you here with us workout people..

Ten Step? Thats a new one for me. I'd have to lean it. I ddi a little Fox Trop and Cha Cha yesterday. Plus a little bit of whatever I thought I was doing.

I haven't done the Cotton Eyed Joe in 25 years, and I've certainly never done it sober...

Cotton Eyed Joe is a little fast paced for me at the time, So I'll do this one for now.

 

[Meerkat]

Not in the mood this morning but will push myself into it.

Did the walk and feel better now. Not as far but still got up heart rate so thats good.

[Spikedriver]

I put in 20 minutes on the treadmill last night when I got to my hotel. Running is hard for me at this higher altitude so only 6 minutes were jogging...

 

[Meerkat]

I'll go for the walk, maybe dance around and see what I have to work with now.

 

[Spikedriver]

24 minutes on the treadmill, including 11 minutes of jogging. The 6000 foot altitude here in Colorado is hard on a flatlander like me. I thought I was going to throw up from the running...
