the walk is really nice but i would enjoy it more if the gym's equipment were nicer. i could join 24hr fitness but not that many nearby and definitely not in walking distance. |

| Finally back to the gym after a month off cause I was on vacation. At first I was really worried that my strength would've deteriorated in the 4 weeks I was out so I started out light. Decided to go back 3 weeks in my progress in start from there. So far I'm 2 workouts in and its been great. Lost a bit of strength in my chin/pull ups though, but that should come back fairly quickly. |

this is going to sound really dorky; but it's been a good workout this week.
every hour, whenever we take a weather observation at work, whatever the temperature (in celsius) is, we do that # in pushups and situps.
example. at 11Z, the temp was 24C...so we did 24 situps. at 12Z, the temp was 25C, so we did 25 pushups. alternating back and forth hour after hour. for 7-9 hours. did this tuesday-friday.
each day it amounts to around 125 pushups and 125 situps (give or take). after 4 straight days of it, i have to admit my chest is a little sore!
my stomach, not so much :( |

| Wait... when you said you'd done 258 push-ups, was that in one giant set or spread across a day? |

that particular day i didn't alternate between push/sit...so it was the temp each hour over like 7 hours or something. so yeah, it's spread out; not like one bigass set lol. |

| I started Insanity today. Nothing like some good interval training. Did the Fit Test and I surprisingly did very well, my numbers were almost the same as the peeps in the video. I have a feeling in two months I'll be ready for a 489570 hour marathon.:p |

Personal milestone for me: I ran for a solid hour for the first time ever today. I had to wait until evening before I went out and it was perfect running weather: clear, cool and no wind, so I just decided to keep doing laps of the park until I got tired.
An hour is small fry to serious runners, but it's the first time I've done it so I'm feeling great. |

No idea what your general condition is, but make sure that as a beginner you don't go too high on your hearth's bpm. If you're untrained and are in the 80-90% range of your max bpm you're most likely are burning muscles instead of fat. :)
Congrats though and keep it up, soon you'll be doing this every 2 days. :) |

I don't measure it, but I don't think my heart rate was that high. I was barely sweating - I was actually breathing through my nose for several parts. I only stopped because my calves were getting sore from the inclines, and because it was getting pretty dark. It was weird just how easy it all felt.
Thanks for the advice, anyway. |
