I just spent two hours shoveling gravel, digging dirt, swinging a pickaxe and crowbar, and moving large rocks (torso sized... roling them obviously) because my neighbor is having a plumbing crisis and needed to dig up his sewer pipe. I think I'm counting that as today's workout... although it wasn't actually that hard. Got my heart rate up and my back sore though. And accomplished my good deed for the week.

Don't know about everyone else but I need targets to get stuff done, so am going to try and lose 2 stone (28 pounds) by my birthday which is April 12th. If I don't do it and only lose a stone I'll be happy, but always nice to have something to aim at.

I actually bought a book called "Waist Disposal - The Ultimate Fat Loss Manual for Men" on Amazon the other day by a respected medical doctor and nutritionist. Absolutely recommend it. Not at all salesy garbage but just deals in scientific facts and very interesting reading about how aerobic exercise doesn't necessarily (or even usually) help with weight loss (although is very good for overall health).

And that's my five done. Three sessions on the weights and two (roughly) 1Km swims. Even after two weeks the changes are visible: The fat around my middle stands out far more now! I'll be adding a stint on the cross-trainer into the gym sessions this week to see if I can do something about that. I've dropped 0.9Kg (2lbs) over the last fortnight.

Did my 4th yesterday. Was not good as the whole family is down with some kind of stomach flu.

Managed 4 this week tho, so I'm pleased.

Wow, that's commitment.  When I'm feeling like sh## I'll just take a couple of days off as needed -- that's why I'm not part of the money poll.

I'm good for the week. Tough week b/c last weekend's activities left me too tired to do much Mon-Tues.

One hard weight workout, a pickaxe/shovel workout, a second pickaxe/shovel workout plus pushups, chinups, rope climbing, and some weights. And then Sunday, an epic adventure. 10 hours of hiking, scrambling and climbing up Tenaya Canyon, almost all cross-country, 4000 foot gain. An awesome day. This is rarely ever done in January.

I've been self-diagnosed with ADHD and have been taking steps to correct.

In this context, ADHD = Adventure Deficit Hypoactivity Disorder.

Not my planned workout, but digging like mad racing sunset was a pretty good workout and my neighbor looked like he was about ready to cry. So I figured I could do a workout that would benefit us both.

Actually, if you were throwing up or draining from the back end, I'd call it 5.  If it makes you sore, it's exercise...and usually those activities leave you sore afterwards.

Can I join?

I have no choice after having a major hip operation, which involved lots of gruesome stuff. So I am aiming for 4/5 times per week now for atleast 90 minutes per day. I have been in the gym most days for the past 2 months but not at this intensity.

So today was day 1 of the new regime:
10 mile bike ride
1 mile row
1/2 mile swim

wouldn't it be easier to report only if you didn't make your exercise routine?
