The Getting Back/In Shape Thread

Over reaching or overtraining sucks. Takes time to get out of that bad cycle

yep, i'm back in the health dojo. for 4 days i stretched. for 2 days I ran. for one day thus far I lifted weights. as much as i like the feeling of intoxication : I must say that having great health feels better. getting intoxicated with great health is just a good time but too much takes a toll on the health and degrades the goodness. i'm subbed.

Well just to update I guess. Actually been walkin everyday about a mile or so, not running my knee don't like running. Still doin the same with my dumbbells just increased em to 30lbs, not able to do as many reps with heavier weight yet but I'll get em up there. Stayin steady around 220lbs give or take a pound or two. U guys were talkin bout plank exercises and I was checkin em out but not sure how to work it into my circuit. Like b4 I do my pushups maybe, do u just do it once during each set and try to hold it for like 30sec at first and do it a couple times or how do u do plank, like reps and how long do u hold it and all that stuff?

Well I to 219lbs for the 1st time in a long time today. Tryin to work sum plank into my routine, how many plank reps do u normally do and how long do u hold it for? When I push it I can probably hold it for like a minute, is that an average time or how long should I try to hold it for? Oh and I've been walkin like a mile everyday too.

I've been taking a few days off, hopefully get back at it tomorrow

[blazinkill504]

takin those few days off feels nice doesnt it! an dvs i usually go for around 30-45 seconds at a time, but ive only done them in a workout once so i dont really know how long you should try an hold it.

[dvs1038]

Yeah I'm doin it mixed in with the rest of my workout, 4 reps 30-45sec.

p man my new job is gonna fuck up my workout schedule now! i usually went an trained at my friends house, but ima be workin while he's off work an vice versa. they put me on the shitty shift, but i guess i can use the bowflex at the crib. just sucks cause i wont be able to work my legs out hard enough on that thing. not enough weight.
