Fucken lawnmowers man. Something has got to be done.

Not using the treadmill it doesn't push the cardio hard enough, even 30 minutes at 10kph, using exercise bike now plus weights and rower, averaging 2 times per week. Loving the weights, starting off light though.

No vball last week. Just 5x gym.

I did 4/4 gym sessions and a bit of skateboarding last week.

Thanks, realised after reading that that mine does inclines!

>>inclines

I was wondering about that. I have found treadmills at an incline plenty punishing. In general, you have to go faster on a treadmill than real running because you're not actually moving any mass. You can compensate by increasing the incline. You still aren't moving mass, but you do have to lift your lefts and fight the downward slide

Lots going on so I was unable to make the gym a couple days last week. 3 x gym plus volleyball league night = 4 total.

Hoping to be back to 5+ this week.

4/4 gym session for the last two weeks

Last two weeks were good and bad while visiting family

bad: ate too much, only did two runs and one hike (plus one more run on Sunday after I got home)

good: had access to a gym and did some weight lifting (7 times in two weeks). That felt good. And visiting family is good.

So all in all, I got a little more muscle and a little more fat. The balance has been preserved.

I missed a workout a couple of weeks ago, but I've been pretty solid with 4/4 gym sessions a week other than that.  Work has been pretty busy, but I've managed to get out with the kids and do some nice outdoor activity on the weekends.

How you all doing?

Discovered pool workouts, *highly* recommended.

A good longish climb, a hiking day, a bit of running and some easy weight lifting... all in all not a bad week.

After a whirlwind of real estate deals, contractors galore and yet another move, I am back at it. I think I always had at least 2 workouts in a week, but this will be the first week in probably a month or more I can maybe get 5 days in. About to hit day 4 shortly, so should be good this week. 3 last week.

Right now I seem to be in some kind of fat burn mode. Not hungry at lunch and a protein shake satisfies. Doing this as often as possible, and my waistline is starting to look pretty decent.

nffc, really? Is it really fun or something? Doesn't seem very manly.

If its man enough for Baz Rutten...

40 degree weather and 80% humidity makes it enjoyable.

Get some of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00T4J02VK and give it a try. The quicker you move, the more resistance, try and clap you hands together;) Some vinyl kettlebells and step up to https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01M01MSUR and you have a decent upper body/abs workout. The pool not great for legs use the baby pool for squats etc. 25 reps about the sweet spot, no rest between excercises.

I found it transfers very well to improvements in the gym and cardi/boxing.
