Feels good to get back, huh!?

pull ups,wide grip close grip, alternate grip(sometimes alternate and pull more on one side)
push ups, 1 arm push ups
hindu pushups
dips
pistol squats (1 legged squats)
and a ton of crunch variations

I need to start incorporating some cardio, I think I might run in the crisp fall mornings, that would be very nice

Before I laid off the upper body to let an injury heal I was doing a lot of bodyweight exercises too. Love it! I just like to supplement it with some free weights for the shoulders.

tonight was pickup basketball, then 35 minutes on the treadmill---walking 13% incline at 4.0 mph.

I ran 10 miles on Wed (split 5 in the a.m. and 5 in the p.m.).

I took Thursday off.

Ran 5 miles Fri a.m. and did an upper body circuit Fri p.m.

Today will be a total body circuit and then I'm taking Sunday off because I have to work...

I was finally able to get back to the gym today after taking a couple weeks off because of sciatica and a crazy schedule. Didn't do much, but it felt good to do a bit of lifting. Afterwards, I ran 4.6 miles.

4.6mi is quite a respectable run after not doing anything for a "couple of weeks".

**TimmyBoston** · 09-19-2010, 12:51 AM

Got in an easy 25 mile bike ride. I wish I could completely rid myself of this sciatica. It's driving me nuts.

**SRock** · 09-20-2010, 05:09 AM

2 mi quick interval run

**TimmyBoston** · 09-20-2010, 06:36 AM

Yesterday 7 mile run.

**The Nid Hog** · 09-20-2010, 09:38 AM

Sore leg feeling better-back to Olympic lifting today. Squats are still pretty light, but no pain.

Finished with half an hour of intervals on the stairmaster.

**SRock** · 09-21-2010, 04:13 AM

45 minutes cardio split three ways...

Running stairs (9 story building), jogging outside, cycling

**urkel** · 09-21-2010, 07:36 PM

Ran three miles on a new trail today and finished with body weight exercises. This is going to be my routine for the next two weeks--no gym access while I'm in Tokyo.

Yup!

Six mile run tonight. I need to start running a different route. Been doing the same one for two years. I'm not tired of it, but I would like to try something different...
