[Rupert]

Ok, I am back in.
3 horses.

Last week:
run mon
Tennis tuesday
Run Thurs
Run Sat
Cycle Sat.
5/4

None long, but started.. target is 4 per week, as its starting to get dark, and I hate Gyms.

[Drastic]

Awesome Rupert, glad to have you.

Week 1 - 4/5
2 gym, 2 vball nights

[littleman]

Glad you are back in Rupert, and great week!  The nights getting long does make it tough sometimes.

That's a pretty good week Dras.

I did my usual 4/4.

If anybody is interested, here is my typical workout routine at the moment.

Workout one:
Deadlifts
Leg Press
Leg Curls
Seated Cable Rows
PullUps
Tricep Extensions with rope
stomach exercise (varies)

Workout two:
Overhead Press
Incline Press
Bench Press
Side Laterals
Back Laterals
Dumbbell Shrugs
Bicep Curls (usually standing dumbbell, sometimes an easy curl bar)
Calves exercise (varies)

I do both of these twice a week, I usually stick with three sets  between 8 and 14 reps for each movement.

I am not doing any cardio type work right now, but I climb about 15 stories a day in stairs as part of my commute and walk as briskly as I can.

Great Going guys! 

I will try too keep up . Thanks for the welcome.

I need to break out my mountain bike lights and make the most of the evening. Stunningly clear nights in the Uk at the mo.  We had a blodd moon last night, i saw it at 3am.. my girls woke me to see it.. or something!

The other distraction is the Ducati Multistrada thats just joined the garage.. Fazer sold today.

Week 2 = 3/4
Tough week, had two sick kids and they gym closed down early one day for a staff meeting.

[Rupert]

3 runs, a good walk...
no cycle, no swim, no tennis.
so 3/4

[Drastic]

slack week here too, 2/5 last week.

[littleman]

Week 3 - 4/4

[Rupert]

Thats Good Littleman.
Week 3 3/4
made 2 runs,
1 tennis.

The runs go on Strava, and so I feel I run with a couple of people on that too.  Feels a bit like this thread.  On is a 14 year old Norwegian, the other a 51 year old Londoner.

Both fitter than me, so both give me "likes" 

[Drastic]

only 2/5 again, I'm just playing league ball 2 nights/wk. So busy I'm not taking time out for the gym. Need to get it back in gear.

Week 4 - 4/4
My last workout was a bit unconventional -- I ended up hauling my family around the shore of Monterey on one of those multi-person bike/car things for an hour.
