Ingo fitness club

After yoga and Wing Chun on Saturday, I was back in the bike today. Up and down the hill for an hour.

I am almost recovered from my wreck on the Monon Trail the Sunday before Labor Day. Bruised ribs, right elbow was a tattered mess, inside of left thigh and bruised tail bone.

I would have walked that off in a day 20 years ago. At least I got back up.

That's why you shouldn't Ingo while you bike.

Ran the "Beyond the Badge" 5k this morning. It's ran at Crown Hill Cemetery, what a beautiful area. The HILL is in the middle of the 5k and it is awful, it is so steep that most stop and walk up it rather than jog/run. So this time will always be slower than a normal 5k on flat ground. Posted a 25:54. I'm surely happy with that, it is almost 4 minutes faster than my fastest Beyond the Badge run. Happy day.

Well done.

I hate squats.

Ring pushups are tough. Takes more strength to stabilize than you think.

Do you go to crossfit gym for your workouts or just do at home?

Those push-ups would be awful, ring or regular. I'll have to try this one out when I get my knee back.

Usually the gym. I wouldn't motivate myself enough at home to push it. Sometimes schedule doesn't work and I have to do it at home

The motivation can be tricky. I just hate spending the time going to and from a gym. Doing at home means the shortest amount of time spent to get the workout in which is helpful.

Do you do regular pushups when you do that many?

The other day when I did 700 I did some one leg pushups and some regular.

 

[hoosierdoc]

I'm lucky that the gym is about 10 mins away. Always a few people doing the workout with you which is another good motivator

700 push ups in a day? Yowsers. I'd move on to other muscle groups way before 700, but I'm lazy

 

[maansmit]

The other day when I did 700 I did some one leg pushups and some regular.

Yeah, I do regular pushups. I will move my hands around a little to try and work some different muscles. On occasion, I will do some one leg ones. Probably should do more of those.

 

[maansmit]

I don't know if I will have time to get a workout in today. I have meeting to attend that is supposed to run 6:30-9. I may be able to get a quick one in before I head out. We shall see.

I love squats. One of the best overall weight lifting exercises. I notice many in the gym don't do them properly.

I will be 63 at the end of this month. I laid off the squats for a couple of weeks and it was a good thing to do. At this age it takes much longer to recuperate. So back to the gym and deloaded to a lighter weight. My biggest concern is injury. At this age it is much easier to injure yourself and takes much longer to recuperate.

I just attended my 45th high school reunion in this weekend. I got compliments on my appearance although I am the same height and weight as Donald Trump which means I am mildly obese. I hope to be in better shape for my 50th reunion

 

[Ben Nelson]

Yep, gotta listen to the joints . . . For me, I've found goblet squats to be a good change of pace when I need a break from back squats.

 

[maansmit]

Pushups are hard today.

Have a mentioned that I hate squats (of the traditional back squat variety).

 

[FishnHunt]

I can't wait till I can get back to squatting and olympic lifting. Another week or two and hopefully I'll be back at it. One plus to being injured - I'll get lots of technique work on my lifts while I build my strength back.

 

[maansmit]

I think I will probably run today.

It's been awhile, but I was able to deadlift 255lbs for 2 reps.

Goal is to hit 300lbs.
