Cardio

[Grape Ape]

15 minutes of walking and 5 on the spinning bike. Cardio is fvking boring but I need a little bit to prevent knee pain while putting on weight.

I don't think that counts as cardio.

If it does, I did cardio at various times yesterday - getting from my car to the TD Bank garden, going down the street to talk to a neighbor and 30  sets:  walked from PC to kitchen and back.

Agreed. Very liberal usage of the word cardio in this thread.

I had a solid week of running last week, clocked up around 60 miles

I get bored easily.

That was 20 eternities, FFS!

We can correct all this.

20 minutes is fine for my goals. I'm not fat, on a diet, competing, or doing any kind of sport.

I own a spinning bike and can ride quite a while if reading.

8:30 and I got sick of lack of exercise, so did quick 30 minutes of cardio on treadmill.

1 mile run in 7:30

24 sets of 1 minute each 10 secs rest

Sprint  @ 10 mph / some ab / plank / hang or hold

Gets me 2 six minute miles broken up by the ab stuff.

15 minutes yesterday. Was boring as all fuck.

Spin bike again?

Walking.

Can't spend that kind of time on a spin bike without a book.

Was given a CycleOps. Love the freakig thing but haven't ridden at home lately. The Gym's Johnny Gs are great for few minutes of cardio after walking.

Cycle Ops looks cool.

You think you're getting any cardio benefit from walking 15 min?

No cardio benefit, IMO.

I've learned (through trial and error) that a little walking stops knee pain when I'm putting on muscle.

Body fat is okay-ish, not competing, or on a diet. I'm more on the lifestyle side of things with working out 5x/week, being reasonable with food, and taking care of myself.

No more crazy deadlifts or squatting until exhaustion. And let's face it... my legs never looked great, anyways.

[Grape Ape]

Gotcha....

[drkaje]

30 small eternities.

Just kidding. Wasn't that bad because songs I like were playing.

[Grape Ape]

Tried the first workout in an Army Ranger training program...there's 5 a week, so fuck that...but tried the first one just to mix it up:

Walk 3:00

1/2 mile in 3:20

Walk 2:00

8 sets 1/4 mile sprints @ 10 mph (1:30) followed by 2:00 walk between  (with the above is 3, six minute miles broken up)

Max Push up in 2 min (this was a BITCH after running)

2:00 rest

Max Sit up in 2 min

2:00 rest

Max Push up in 1 min
Max sit up in 1 min

2 mile ruck with 38lb

I will need to do something extra to balance this effort out, from an overall Y board perspective.

Do that Ranger thang, LOL!

Fkn work! I was waiting for that homo to start screaming "Leave Jake alone!!" I finally said fuck it at 12:20 when it became evident the fucktard responsible for the spreadsheet I needed complete by day's end had gone home without completing her work.

Needless to say.... she's done right after Christmas.

Didn't have time:

10 sets of Hex DL x 2 - 1 min rest between

10 consecutive giants sets, no rest:

Jumping Jack x 10
Squat x 20
Pull up x 5

4 1/4 mile repeats @ 10 mph (6 min mile)

Shoulder circuits...


Day 2 of the ranger shit called for SIX sub 3 min 1/2 miles, with the giant set circuit, then some other shit.......will try it later this week.

Quick workout and 45 minutes on the bike. Put on some Bootsy and it was doable.

After the last few days I might have to look into this cardio thing.

The gym has ropes. I might give them a shot in the morning to change things up a little.
