***The Exercise Challenge***

Biked 12K today going from home to school and back. Later strength/cardio for about 25 minutes total. To top it off I went to the gym with my brother and ran an 8K on the treadmill.

 

Did a 7 km run and also went for a long walk. Tired.

 

Nice one ThisEndsToday. You training for anything in particular or just general fitness?

Did a 5.5 mile tempo run today. First hard running session for a while. Didnt feel particularly great but not too fussed - as long as i do the training and stay injury free!

 

Thanks! Right now I don't have any races coming up but I just want to stay in shape.

Nice workout yourself

 

Did an easy 6K.

Aye, I'm in! I really like this thread and working out in general when it comes to PMO recovery because:
1) It's a distraction from PMO. Gives you something to do, and half the time you're so tired you immediately fall asleep afterwards
2) You're really just doing it to clear your mind but you end up looking and feeling better
3) Again, it's just to get over PMO, but you're also "unintentionally" (perhaps intentionally, if you're not just using it as a distraction, besides the point though) building a great habit for yourself that will stay with you long after you get over PMO.

Okay, day 1, my workouts have been so far:
2x 50 jumping jacks
2x 20 push-ups
20 sit-ups
20 crunches
40 calf raises, 20 on each leg
15 lying leg raises, hover over the ground for 5 seconds before dropping
20 exploding lunges (10 on each leg)
1:30 plank

Normally planks kill me, but I tried something new today and it actually worked; I meditated. I always used to use this on my school's cross country team to tune out the pain and figured it wouldn't work on anything else, but I guess because of how little focus planks use it worked on them too. I just visualized my arms and the tips of my toes digging into the ground, and the dirt beneath, and all the pain flowing out of my body into the earth. Doing this and planking for 1:30 hurt me way more than a 40 second plank usually does when I'm not using this technique. I'll definitely keep using this going into the future.

 

4 sets of skipping exercises
100 jumps -highest set

 

I didn't eat a whole lot today, so I didn't exercise too much either, but:
20 push-ups
40 second plank
20 exploding lunges (10 on each side)
20 calf raisers (10 on each side)
20 sit-ups
15 pushups
1 minute plank

 

Doing some kettlebell things, nothing specific. The usual 6:
Get up, military press, swings, clean, squad, snatch.
Getting stronger. The weight I had problems with a few months ago I can
now handle with ease. I also play with some upside down movements where the kettlebells base looks upwards.

Get stronger guys and girls! Good job!

Went for a two mile walk today. Felt good.

 

Walks are always great for clearing your mind and your body

 

Agreed. I used to do it every night but I stopped for 3 weeks and just felt like a shit show. It felt good to get back to it again. Now I just need to do the same with lifting weights.
