Physical Fitness

Hmmm I see a pattern here: I'm in IT as well

well this morning started the pain:

2 sets of 10 situps
2 sets of a GPP exercise (General Physical Preparedness): 6 reps of each exercise one right after the other, using a standard weight barbell: Vertical Rows, Clean & Press, behing the neck squats, good mornings, and bent over rows for a total of 30 reps.

I'll be doing this morning and evening for the next few days to get the body used to being in pain.

might toss in a bit of taichi to try to mitigate the pain

Sheesh ..... IT and cigars, WTF did I walk into?

I, too, it seems, am in the IT field and about 10 years out of the Marines. After screwing up both knees and an ankle I try not to run unless it's needed.

The gym here on my FOB has a nice treadmill and I use it about 4 times a week walking at a very brisk pace for about 45 minutes and it's helped me lose about 15 pounds, although I swear it's the friggin' heat out here.

Ok, so after 4 days of basic situps and that GPP exercise, i now have my whole body yelling at me

So tomorrow morning it's back to the gym. a Gredual build-up in the gym to get back into the groove of things.

overall, starting to feel better.

I get up at 3:30 AM every week day. By 3:45 AM I'm down in the basement doing free weights for the next hour or so. I walk a little over a mile from where I park to my job. 3 days a week I go mountain biking for 10 miles. Currently both of my little ones are playing sports. Softball and T-ball. I help out with each so at least 5 days a week I'm doing that. We go camping every weekend at our seasonal site we have.

The soreness never stops it just moves around.

Shit you're past the hard part: getting started! Very cool - nothing like a few endorphins to smooth out the day.

I used to play racquetball 3 days a week to stay in shape (round). Baseball season put a stop to that. For some reason my arm has been giving me problems this year. I think I might go to the doctors now that the season is over to see what's going on. I had sore arms in the past but this is just plain painful.

Anyways, baseball season is finally over so we're starting racquetball again today. I haven't played in over 2 weeks. I should be nice and tired tonight.

I've been running at the track more often - started at 2 1/2 miles I think and working up to 5. Got there today! Left calf muscle kinda crapped out in the last damn lap, but it'll be ok pretty quick.

Funny this got bumped...This will be an ironic post for me.

I've been thinking lately, or become concious of my intake / output and I've seriously been contemplating a journal or log of some sort to track what I've been eating / smoking / drinking / bedtime. Don't worry, I won't treadjack any more than this post.

I've dropped the ball tonight with 3 beers, 11:30PM post & a madurito

I find I struggle with the beer / bedtime thing. Hopefully I can break my habits/patterns as they have a direct effect on the next day.
