Title: Core Commit to Exercise 2013 Round 4: Aug 5 - Oct 13
Post by: littleman on March 18, 2013, 06:30:13 PM
Today starts the second round of commitment to exercise for 2013.  Often in the beginning of the year there are a lot of people who commit to exercise as part of a New Year's resolutions to improve their health, unfortunately most people who make resolutions start to waver on their commitments by a few weeks into the year.  So, you guys/gals signing up for this round are to be commended.

Who is in for round two?

So far we have:
Drastic = 5 workouts a week
Littleman = 4 workouts a week
Ergophobe = 4 workouts a week
Rumbas = 4 workouts a week
Bill = 3 workouts a week

The fact that I want to sit this one out tells me that I must commit to 4x/week

Wow! You're closing in on having lost as much as one of my good friends weighs! That's awesome.

Dismal - 2 runs and a day of all day digging, cutting, hauling and burning brush... felt like a workout, but not really (though I'd be in good shape if I did that everyday).

Week 3 4/4
I almost didn't do it this week due to being sick, but the I was like, "You've gone this long without missing one ."  I think cardio would be tough with a head cold, but weight training has less of an impact.

LM doesn't know, but Rumbas can verify that I just don't have that much bodyweight to lift. If something bad happens and you need someone to run 20 miles through the woods to get help, I'm your guy. If you're trapped under a car, pray that it's Raz who's standing by, not me!

It was a holiday week and I'm surprised I got any workout time at all.

> pullups
I haven't done them in a while, but chin-ups are part of my regular routine. An RPT routine of 6, 8, then 10 reps is about all I can manage these days.

Hehehe, well put ergo, however I think in your neck of the woods, being able to run out the bear or other wild life might be more handy that lifting the car. Here we dont have any animals to speak of but plenty of cars and idiot drivers :)

Being able to pull yourself up 20 times is quite an accomplishment though.

Went for a 2-hour hike yesterday, but it ended up being more of a stroll. At least it was "outdoor time" if not "workout time"

3/4 last week, plus 200 pushups in planes and airports on Friday.

Almost through my rough patch and looking to lose some of the fat I've put on the last month, so definitely looking forward to CRUSHING IT next round. Looking to give Littleman a run for it this time!

Bucky! I'm so psyched to see that you're joining us.

Just FYI and I think I can say this without violating any confidence - Bucky told me in February that she had been lurking on the Core Commit threads and taking inspiration from them and had lost many pounds, but wasn't quite ready to join us.

Great to have you aboard!

Congrats!

Reminds me of...

"Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before."

Was looking at this earlier by coincidence, bad language but worth a watch.

5/4 this weekend

It was freezing cold climbing today (actually in the high 40s, but with a howling wind so we had trouble communicating from 100 feet away and cloudy with the odd raindrop).  Cold enough my hands went numb (which I'm blaming for a short fall). But anyway, second week I did something active on five of seven days.

Friend showed my his Fit Bit One - any of you guys have one? I'm thinking of getting one for my wife for her birthday. Said friend has lost a ton of weight and gotten in much better shape in just the month he's been using it.

No personal experience, but I've been warned about the FitBit due to its limited phone compatibility. If you have a compatible phone now that's great, but if you plan to change you'll have a limited selection supposedly.

Also, have a look at the just announced Withings Pulse. That had a good feature-set too.

I am so 19th century about my fitness efforts.  I don't track calories, I don't log progress.  Instead I eat a very routine diet and make small adjustments when I stall.  I also go a lot by how I feel, if the calories get too low I'll feel shitty, but I found that there is a sweet spot, where I can drop but still feel pretty good -- it has been a creeping target, getting smaller as I've gotten lighter but day to day it is predictable.  With the weights I'll just remember what I did last time and try to up it.  Of course, being on the tail end of a five year cut I am not really getting stronger.  I am looking forward to the time I could up my consumption a little more and start to concentrate on gains.  Before I get there though I am on this vanity quest to get good definition in my abs, it's a funny thing to go after in your forties, I know, but I figure I've come this far.

2/4.

Good stuff LM.
Personally I hate going by how I feel, because the diet will really decide how you feel and sometimes I feel like sh## if I've been going low carb for a while and just go nuts over the weekend fx. On Monday I'll feel like sh##, but will be able to pull a little more weight. However I totally agree, cutting or working on getting more lean is tough if you want gains with the weights as well. Keeping track of your diet and sticking to it is my main obstacle and eating shitty for a while carries over to the training as well, eg. if I've eating sh##, my motivation for training goes down as well. The last 2-3 weeks have be this way for me and the weight is increasing really really fast.

I'm ok with that though as it's a choice and I really like good food :)

I am so 19th century about my fitness efforts.  I don't track calories, I don't log progress.

For the most part me too. I don't do any exercise that involves a machine, unless wheelbarrows count. Mostly, it's pick a weight off the ground and put it back down. I don't plan and I don't track.

BUT what my friend found with the FitBit is that it puts a number up every day of how much he moved and that motivates him to match or beat that number the next day. Not necessarily to work out, but literally, get out his chair and move. He is on his computer all day long and he keeps the Fitbit dashboard up and running and checks several times a day as to how he's doing.

In my wife's case, I think the benefit she would get is more a matter of moving joints that have been injured too many times and really should not be kept statinoary for long periods.

>>limited phone compatibility

Phone compatibility? My friend didn't mention the phone at all. It tracks his activity and every time he walks within range of his computer, it uploads the new data to his laptop. No phone involved.

PS - I googled "withings pulse" and this came up as #2 or so (granted personalized search).

https://plus.google.com/116148499228444224992/posts/MNfaSvBFRNo


Actually, looking into it, I would prefer the Fitbit One

- Pulse is bluetooth only and phone only
- One has bluetooth and smartphone capbility, but is really more computer-centered.

Since I have my computer with me much more frequently than my cell phone (which is usually in airplane mode even when I do have it), I wouldn't want that. My wife does get phone reception at work, so she tends to have her phone there, but she tends to have her computer there too... not sure which she would prefer, but since the Withings won't ship for a month after her BDay, I think that's off the table.

Just back from an unexpected week offline b/c I didn't want to pay the exhorbitant 80 cents/min the cruise ship wanted. Strangely, my Android phone accessed GMail just fine without actually paying. Second time it's circumvented a paid network for me.

Anyway

Week 5 - 4/4

Week 6 - 7/4 (one rest day, one day with double sessions. not counted as exercise - two hours of sea kayaking and a 1-mile "race" with my 6 year-old niece that ended up requiring two stops in the bar for drinks of water, but damn she was fast for the first 150 feet).

Congrats Rumbas!

I ended up with what I'm counting as 10 sessions, though some were quite short. But I decided to run at least 2 miles every day regardless of other exercise (but then "forgot" on Friday).

6 days running (2.25 to 6 miles)
1 day hiking (14.7 miles)
1 bike ride (25 mins steep uphill)
2 days climbing (short sessions, but hard - took a picture of my torn up hands, but can't find the camera)

Anyway, I've found lots of short sessions to really help me lean out - my bodyfat scale finally says I'm back to pre-cruise fat levels. But damn that food was good!

Start of the Core Commit Address

Littleman is still steady as it goes. Ergo has gotten more consistent. Bill was on target last week. Drastic and Rumbas are down for 5 next week. Bucky - want to promise for 3? Because if Littleman, ergo and Bill stay on track and Drastic and Rumbas meet their pledge, we only need one more from Bucky to have a perfect week.

4/4

If not for my rash comments about trying to get everyone to meet their goal this week and feeling like I could be the one to mess that up having laid it out there, I would definitely have been 3/4, maybe 2/4. Really did NOT want to exercise today, but having been the one saying we could all meet goals this week, I rallied at 7:30 and did some sets of pullups, planks and ran 4 miles. Had a nice encounter with a bear on my run, so that was nice.

>Had a nice encounter with a bear on my run, so that was nice.

What happened?

Oh, nothing really. I meant that with no irony. It's just always nice to have a "natural" encounter rather than, like two days earlier, when I saw a bear looking into someone's car and I ran it down and chased it out of the developed part of the neighborhood, much to the consternation of the tourist whose car the bear was getting ready to break into (he was upset that his granddaughter didn't get a picture - idiot - that is how cars get destroyed and bears die).

Last night, I was just running down the trail and saw a bear about 80-100 feet away. He turned sideways (showing me how big he is - the standing on their hind legs is to gather info, not to threaten). I stopped and waited for a few seconds checking him out and he stood still checking me out. I thought about turning around there and leaving him alone, but wanted to keep running, so I growled at him and he ran off into the woods and I kept going.

That is opposed to the times (twice) when I've been out running and surprised a mother with cubs and got bluff charged with mom ending up about 25-30 feet away, huffing and stamping (that's what they do to say get the hell out of my space). In both those cases, she was really stressed and, well, so was I. In another case, I came around a rock and literally found myself three feet away from a bear traveling in the other direction. He, being the better athlete, reacted first and took off running only turning back after about 100 feet, realizing it was just one of those weak doughy bipeds, and he went back to his business of eating manzanita berries.

I'm typing this from Nha Trang in Viet Nam.

I'm going to claim 5/3 for last week ad 5/3 for this week (yes, even this early in the week)!

I've done more walking and stair climbing in the last couple of weeks than I'd normally do in two or three months!

My roommate just exclaimed that a gecko just ran across the floor and under my suitcase! That's supposed to mean good luck! :)

Wow! Good work everyone.

I'm also going to claim 5/4 this week.

Four were actually pretty light, but one was a longish climb with some long sections of trench warfare... plus about 2.5 hours of hiking coming and going

does 50 burpees, 25 pullups and some dumbell curls and presses count????

I know, we don't judge what counts. I'm thinking no. Looks like I'll miss my 4 this week (I've been sitting on my butt since Sunday)

Ergophobe, perhaps you should stick to resistance training for a while and avoid anything that would get your heart rate going to high.

Post by: ergophobe on September 02, 2013, 09:50:50 PM
things are much improved today, but I'll be working out indoors. On Saturday though, with ash accumulating on the cars like snow flurries (I mean a few flakes, not covering the car) and visibility under 1000 feet, I just felt tired and headachy and decided to just lay low. Today I'm working out indoors.

But realistically, we're probably already better than a typical summer day in Los Angeles!

I'm home now. My travels turned out to be very active. The food in Viet Nam is very healthy ... lots of fresh fruits and no junk food to be seen anywhere. Except for soft drinks!

I'm glad it's getting better for you Ergophobe and hope that where you live wasn't directly affected.

Buckworks, it sounds like you had a great vacation and still managed to stay on track on your fitness quest.  I'm a big fan Vietnamese food, though I'm sure everything I've had here in California has been influenced somewhat by local tastes

Welcome home Bucky!

LM - Thanks, tough to be honest, we have been incredibly lucky so far and despite all the media coverage, the whole thing has had almost no impacts in the main parts of the park (including our house) except for Fri-Sun, where we had lots of smoke, but no real danger. My heart goes out for the people out the north entrance though. What's happening out that way is incredible.

Scored 11.5% on one of those electric body fat testing thingies.  About a year ago I was 13% on the same machine.  I have no idea how accurate these things are, but at least the number seems to e going in the right direction.  Of course the last bits of fat would be right at my gut, so I don't have the abdominal definition I thought I would have at these levels -- its a strange contrast to the vascularity I am showing in my arms.  I'm about to turn 42 so I can't complain.

That's awesome John! Well done.

1/4 for me this week. Been slacking and lost the motivation the last few week - mainly due to my training partner being out of town a lot. However this evening we're kicking it right back into high gear.

I amazes me that just a couple of weeks with low quality food and a some high alcohol nights and you start going sloppy really really fast. Fat-% starts shooting up and strength going down.. fast.

Here's to a new strong week! :)

<added>
>11.5%

Mine was 29% this morning from a withings scale so not very accurate either, but no good.

Good deal lm on the %!

I got back up to 220, been trying to get back down to 205 ish. I've only been back strong 2 weeks, got down to 215, but looking much better as it's moving to more acceptable places.

And yeah Raz, a few beers, burger and wings, and there goes a few days' work. Sucks.

That's mostly what I do. Sometimes fast and sometimes slow, but since giving up our apartment in the Valley (and thus convenient access to a weight room), I mostly do some version of putting one foot in front of the other, with the occasional mix of pulling with my hands too.

4/4 last week and at least one of those was because of the commit, so I'm in for another round. I should go big and go 5/5, but I'd never make it. So I'm in for 4 again.
