@BlueZ do you stretch before you ruck?

No.
Just put on the ruck and start walking.

 

[Spikedriver]

No.
Just put on the ruck and start walking.

Ok. I'm just trying to come up with explanation for your leg soreness or not having soreness...

 

[Spikedriver]

Whoa...weighed myself this morning and I was 209. That's the first time I've been under 210 since at least 2010 or 2011. Still have 20-30 more pounds to lose but I'm over halfway there. Time to double down on my diet and keep up the exercise...

A 4 mile loaded hike is nothing to sneeze at, in any terrain.

[Rick]

Just got back from a run.. my 3rd cardio of the week.

 

[Patchouli]

Lots of stretches this a.m. but ended up hurting my shoulder.
I have to do a lot more to get rid of the pudge. This working from home has not helped my figure. Too hot to ride a bike here.
Going to check with insurance co. see if I can still get cardio rehab exercise time.

[Patchouli]

I think people would laugh if I said how much I weighed because in real life that's also what I get, laughter. I weigh what some 10 year old children weigh. Of course they might be built on a different scale like hashbrown's son. Lol I'm not very big

According to the Ortho Surgeon, I am doing everything I'm supposed to be doing.
Lost only 1 pound this week, but I can see my piggy toes(grand daughter calls my toes piggy) without much swelling.
Been pricing recumbent bikes.
It's been hot and humid, so walking inside as much as possible.
Doing stretching exercises, just as long as I get no charlie horses inside ankles.

Saturday I was supposed to hit the gym but got lazy.
Today Gym is closed... was gonna run but then I got tired and cat napped around noon ..

So now in the evening I knew I wasnt gonna have a good week (minimum 4 workouts) unless I did something tonite..
So went on a nice ruck march.. short (4 miles) but fast and heavy through hills

Walking up and down small hills with Strawberry.
At least she's getting her girlish figure back.
Her harness is getting loose.
We both are working on stretches in the cool of the morning.
We walk several times a day, just not when it's really hot.
I have tendency to pass out if I get too hot.
Nice, slow and easy pace for me though.

Today, Thursday, is I must admit, the first time I exercised this week.
Having some sleep issues so I lack the energy for it..

Well today i came home early from work and slept for 2 hours and then went.

A Ruckmarch fast and hard with 60 lbs through the hills.
Feels great to have it under my belt.

Hard times are coming, best get ready...

 

[Meerkat]

Afer trip to beach yesterday and realizing how out of shape I got and fast too. I'm back to working out again. Today will mostly try lifting bar reps. Have to clean out van no fun bending over.

 

[Spikedriver]

Short workout in the hotel room. I decided not to use the hotel gym due to unknown sanitation practices. All exercises done with lighter weight/more sets and reps than normal...

1 arm floor press x4
Lateral delt raise x4
Triceps extension x4
Shrugs x4
Shoulder press x4

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Yoga this morning.
Also did knee exercises I learned after knee replacement for 30 minutes.
Walked with Strawberry fast clip to start with, about 15 minutes.
We were both tired afterwards felt pretty good.
Might try ankle weights next week.

 

[Rick]

Just got back from a Ruckmarch. Only my 2nd exercise for the week so I am badly behind.
Had the sniffles a bit yesterday so didnt do a thing.

Even so these ruckmarches I feel are a perfect prepper workout.

 

[Rick]

Did a nice solid run today. : )

 

[Spikedriver]

Too tired for a good workout tonight. Getting up at 10 til 4 is really sapping my energy...all I did tonight was 3 sets of 10, lawnmower pull rows, and 3 sets of 10, hammer curls.

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Had a live wire 3 year old grand daughter today.
We exercised several times today trying to burn off her extra energy.
After surgery leg exercises,yoga, stretching, walking.
Then she did 10 minutes on her mini trampoline to burn energy off.
