do what you can.
I've missed my big workout the last two Mondays in a row. Lately, everything hurts and I slapped on 5 pounds in about as many minutes. I've worked out every day for the last 10 straight, but no super intense stuff. In fact, I've been doing some longer walks on the treadmill with the incline way up. It's easier on old knees and still burns roughly 1,000 calories.
I eased back into some higher intensity stuff today with 500 step ups, 18" step, with an olympic bar across my shoulder. Every 100, I stopped to do pushups and crunches. Not much by the standards of 3 months ago, but it felt good to run with sweat.
For tomorrow (Wednesday):
Run 400 meters
Recover 1-2 minutes
30 Burpees
Recover 1-2 minutes
Repeat 2-5 times. Strive to perform each mile repeat and each interval of burpees faster than your previous one. This means you will have to pace yourself properly, or you'll risk blowing up before you complete a full workout. Start slow so you can finish at full throttle.
So, if you see my flooded thread in GD, it's been a busy damn week.
I have only missed one workout, and that was because the town was cut in two and my gym is on teh south side of the river and I'm on the north.
I have been working my ass off this week, lifting, moving hauling mud, etc and a year and a half ago there was no fucking way.
I'm down 145lbs and getting damn strong. I"m lifting myself up out of the crawl space full of water, lifting up huge bunchs of wet crap. Turns out I'm a lot stronger than the volunteers from church helping out. (and i"m 15 years older) etc
workout matters
I would have been in deep shit if I was still in crappy shape and fat.
Survival, it's what for dinner.
excellent! congrats on the success, keep it up.Quote:

I have been increasing my morning pre-food workouts, today I did my cardio, protein, shower then cooked breakfast. I have been eating dirty so hopefully with some effort I can get down another #10 soon.
so, i've been doing 5-3-1 and I really like it
I've been doing boring but big for the assistance exercises
This week has sucked (flooded house, etc) but it was week 3, so there was NFW i was missing week 3 and missing my PR's
so, got to saturday and deadlifts
heart rate a little up, utterly exhausted from the whole week.
get to my big lift and nail it, big time new PR
and looked around and said "i'm changing today to the "I"m not doing Jack Shit" assistance program"
packed up and went home and felt damn good about it.
Morning fast cardio question. So doing cardio in the AM, they say to do it an hour before you eat, how long is to long to go without eating? Say you wake up at 5, workout from 5:15-6:15, then wait an hour to eat, at what point does your body start burning the wrong stuff waiting on food?
