shortstuff Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 So I have been lazy, and haven't kept the best of records with my workout stats. By that I mean while I might write what I did, ie go for a run for x amount of time, or did strenght training for x amount of time, I am not the best of keeping records of where I have started and what I can do now. About the only record I have kept is of my times when I run 2.4k, something that I have only started a couple of months ago, and now I am finding I only write them down when I beat my best time. I don't really know if many people keep a workout log while they are doing a 6 week challenge, but I thought that if I have a workout log as well, I could record of everything that I do workout wise in one place so that I could see where I have started, and where I am now. I also thought it would be easier to keep everything in one place. Why I am starting now? Well I am about to start the new rules of lifting for women workouts, and figured I should really keep a log.So my stats are2.4k run - First time was 18:43, now 16:18Goal: working on a sub 15 min, once I get that it's will be a sub 13 min, one day I want to be able to do a sub 10 min 5k run without walking - 40 minutesGoal: once I reach my final 2.4k run goals (last one is sub 10 min) I am going to work on my 5k goals, which are 1. sub 35 min (thinking by the time I get to working on my 5k I might be there), 2. sub 30 min, 3. sub 25 min, 4. sub 20 min.Plank - Not sure What I started at, but last time I did one I held it for 50 secondsPush-ups - Start of last year I couldn't even do one on my toes, the most I have ever done was 14 which was on ThursdayGoal: 1. 25 push ups, 2. 50 push ups, 3. 100 push ups. All push ups goals are without stopping (only to move hands if they are slipping)Swiming - 416m Goal: only goal at the moment is make it to 500m without stopping, I won't be working on this one till summerBench press - Started at 1.5kg because that was what I had, now up to 6.5kgOverhead press - Once again started at 1.5kg because that was what I had, now up to 4kg Quote STR – 24.45, DEX – 13.50, STA – 23.50, CON – 21.40, WIS – 27.65, CHA – 4.50When the sun comes up, you better start running - Thomas FriedmenEpic Quest - Current Challenge - Twitter - Goodreads - Fitbit - blog Link to comment

shortstuff Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Work out Log 22/07/20125 min light run at about 150-160 brmLight run - run for a bit, walk for a bit, repeat without over doing it, but enough to get somewhat of a workoutTotal distance according to Zombies, Run! 8.49k Max heart rate: 190 Average heart rate: 143Legs hurt a little bit after yesterday, I think it was the squats. I wanted to get a workout in but didn't want to over do it because of my legs. They didn't hurt until near the end when I was trying to run, so I stoped running, and kept to a walk which didn't hurt. I am now paying for it - my legs are alright so long as I am not moving around. I will have to see how I go tomorrow.

Ghost Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 So you have encountered the DOMs monster. It doesn't matter how many times you fight it, it always appears as you level up. (If you know what I mean, that makes perfect sense) Keep going! Quote Link to comment
shortstuff Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Yes I know what you mean, and I gotta say, that bloodly DOMs monster, he/she is a pain in the neck, or in my case legs.

Ghost Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Ooh, tennis. Do you like playing tennis?I tried it as a school sport once, I always had some hole in my racket I like the simplicity of your workouts.

shortstuff Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Ooh, tennis. Do you like playing tennis?I tried it as a school sport once, I always had some hole in my racket I don't hate playing tennis, I just don't enjoy it. I am only doing it for my friend. I like the simplicity of your workouts. Seems you can just get things done, no fussing around with heaps of different exercises.Thanks, with the strength side of things, I have only started at the start of this 6 week challenge, as I wanted to get stronger because I was told my size might make navy basic training even harder if I got in, I only 152cm which is just tall enough to get into the defence force. So I am just starting small, and working my way up. Once I get stronger I might look for harder versions of exercises where I can't just add more weight to it and work on that, but for now I don't want to overdo things.As for today's workout26/07/20122.4k run – time: 16:48, max heart rate: 191, average heart rate: 179 Total distance according to Zombies, Run! 6.77k Max heart rate for rest of run/walk: 11 Average heart rate for rest of run/walk: 149 Quote STR – 24.45, DEX – 13.50, STA – 23.50, CON – 21.40, WIS – 27.65, CHA – 4.50When the sun comes up, you better start running - Thomas FriedmenEpic Quest - Current Challenge - Twitter - Goodreads - Fitbit - blog Link to comment

I don’t know if anyone seen my post in the boss battle in scouts, but I am going to a convention with my cousin. I am leaving today (Friday) in about an hour, and I won’t be getting back until after 8pm on Sunday. Somehow I don’t think I will be getting around to doing my strength training on Sunday, even if I felt like it. So I did my minimal time today because today’s the only day I would actually do it. I’m rumbling now so I am going to shut up now, and go finish getting ready.

shortstuff Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 So I haven't worked out since Friday as I have been away. I had a big weekend, by big I mean, lots of walking, a tiny bit of running, shopping, spending too much on cute stuff which includes cute pokemon stuff, lots of junk food - the only meals that weren't take out/away was breakfast, and I got back late last night. So as a result I didn't really feel like doing much today, so I went for a 4.58k walk.

I don’t know if the 20 push-ups had anything to do with it, but during all the following sets, my arms hurt even though they were all done on my knees – hopefully I won’t get a visit from the DOMs monster tomorrow. I thought I would do them all on my knees as I am unable to do 15 on my toes, let along more sets.

Lesson learnt. On the bright side I did do a lot better than Wednesday as I managed to run more even though I did only run for 100-300m at a time.
