***The Exercise Challenge***

Discussion in 'Events & Challenges' started by LoyalKnight, Jun 26, 2017.

  1. Yesterday:
    2.5 km running
    15 pull-ups
    15 push-ups
    10 pull-up jumps (jumping with hands between two bars separated 40 cm)
    5:00 min plank

    My upper body is slowly coming back after all the push-ups I did a few days ago. Soon I am going to take on the challenge again. Would anyone like to join me? I would suggest individual goals. I can arrange automatic notifications every x minutes (by mail) if anyone wants.

    Lots of good stuff today.
    I enjoyed my sparring and the sessions at the heavy bag. All around a beautiful day.

    Cheers!

  3. Plank 5:15 min
    16 hanging leg lifts
    Remarkably I am beginning to be able to pull myself up with only one hand! I was able to pull myself upwards 15 cm. More to come... :)

    I hiked on the weekend and did some fighting with pedded swords. It was a LOT of fun!

    Cheers and keep up the good work everyone!

  13. Yesterday: nothing. really nothing. no cycling, no running, no push-ups, no pull-ups. Sorry. I am going to compensate for that within the end of this week, I promise.

    Today:
    22 km cycling
    6 mins plank
    7 mins plank
    14+12+10 pull-up jumps
    various exercises for doing one-hand pull-ups (I can lift myself upwards 20 cm now, so close!)

    Kettlebells
    Rows 30# 2x10 ea
    Press 20# 1x5 ea; 30# 1x5 right, 30# 0 left

    Since I can't afford a 40# yet, I will start to focus on strengthening my left shoulder. I might have torn some tissue in my left shoulder while lifting weights back in high school. I never got it checked out, and now am paying the price. 20# seems to be all I can lift with that shoulder now.

    Forgot my pedometer till mid afternoon, but still walked: 11,166 steps; 5.28 miles

    Kb Swing 30# 3x10
    Goblet squat 30# 3x10
    Sumo Squat with Upright Row 30# 3x10

    I think I need a 40# to work my legs with. I also have to shorten my rest periods. Today's workout took just over 30 minutes.
