You are absolutely right MrFrankWhite when you talked about it being easy to find excuses.

100% thinking of a good excuse not to gym tonight but this thread/ post has motivated me to say - no excuses.

Another 500 done.

I had to lighten the load and leave out the strength exercise. I am hoping the pull-ups yesterday were the cause of my forearm pain.

Ended up massaging my arms with voltaren and tiger balm to get through today.

Is this kettlebells?
Always looks dangerous if you were to accidentally let go…

Yes kettlebells.

My main concern is kids running around.

Save up the walk for a day when you know you need to rest the muscles.

Dont forget the other sides of the health triangle; food and sleep. I'll be having steak, mash and peas and ging to sleep around 9:30pm

Steak and salad for me tonight.

I have a real sweet tooth and the boys bought me some treats for father's day which I really don't need. So tempting having them just sitting on the bench. Think I'll take them in to work and give them away. The treats not the boys.

This is the way

I’ve now got my mind set on a 1hr treadmill power walk tonight.
Tomorrow the legs can rest.

You fellas all have way better motivation than me, guess you'll live longer and be less of a burden on the health system than I'm likely to be if I don't do something about quitting smoking and improving my fitness soon. All credit to you.

RIP Marty Phillips, old mate of mine who passed last week.

Condolences. It’s never too late to start. I think self hate actually helps motivate me.

I’ve been telling myself not to be a little B*tch and to get on that thread mill tonight and kill the dam thing..

Self loathing makes me care less about my health, seeing the effects of lung cancer first hand hasn't worked either, I don't know what it'll take. First heart attack maybe.

Start strong, finish strong. Five and a half kms of hills to kick off the challenge.

Nice thread Frank.
My knees don’t take regular running so I have to ride an Exercycle for my leg work.
I try to get two sessions a week in as I try to with my core and strength routine.
Lots of press ups, planking, burpees etc.
It’s all determined by how many games I have done on any given weekend.
Eating 90% decently too.
Choice of drink is Vodka.

Motivation is a strange thing my guy. Mine is a mix of things, but a large part is arrogance at being better, doing things others wont. Another part is joy, privileged to be fit and healthy.

I hate running and I work out until I feel sick, but the results make me love the process.

Sounds like you enjoy the experience of punishing yourself to extremes and pushing yourself to the edge of what you can tolerate, I kinda get that

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Also Im 41.. My window for being physically exceptional is closing. 10 years on strength, 20 on endurance.

Running shirtless in a downpour loving life, is a crazy high, one thats only topped by people looking at you like you are insane.

I think I follow the Warriors to see how much I can take before I crack, thats probably another form of self harming.

Food and sleep are harder than the exercise but it's a great way to look at it

Bit late to the party but
Day1 Weights,session more focused on power so benching, shoulder raises, leg press, sleds, incline sit ups. Do things a little differently where I start relatively light and increase weight each set until failure.

Day2 1.5hours of Squash

Trying hard on eating better, started last week and down about 1.5kg

People look at me that way fully clothed. I'll keep my shirt on a bit longer thanks.
