Been playing a lot of Destiny lately, so what better way to create a nerdy workout plan! Goal is 3x a week, plus at least one 'off' day taking a long walk or biking to work.

 

Hunter: Back and Shoulders

  • Lat pull
  • Seated rows on machine
  • Pull up (assisted) or hang
  • Bicep curl to shoulder press (dumbell)
  • Lateral Raise (dumbell)
  • Rope machine 2-5 mins

 

20-30 mins cardio + stretching

 

Titan: Legs and Abs

  • Squats/goblet squats
  • Leg press machine
  • Calf raises
  • Inner thigh machine
  • Outer thigh machine

 

15-20 mins cardio + stretching

 

Warlock: Chest and Abs

  • Pushups 3 sets to failure
  • Cable crossover
  • L-fly machine
  • Woodchop (dumbell)

 

20-30 mins cardio + stretching

 

Ab workout:

  • Crunches
  • Scissor crunch to failure x3
  • Reverse crunches
  • Plank to failure

 

Would like to add some actual olympic lifts at some point, but I need a spotter.

Shouldn't try to fix it if it keeps getting better,
Just let it go, forget it for ever and ever and ever

I'm not that sore today surprisingly. A FB friend has been biking and did 10 miles in under 40 mins so I want to see how long it takes me to do 10 miles soon.

Hey you! I mean me! Whatever. This is a reminder why you're doing this. Read it when April comes around and you get bored with the gym and want to eat 100 donuts.

  • It helps your #@&*$! ADD. Remember that day you did dishes, cooked, walked 4miles, cleaned your room, swept AND mopped the house, and worked on art? Yeah. That.
  • Eating right feels way better than not. Clear head, lots of energy, no crashing at 3pm. EAT VEGGIES
  • Feeling sexy = feeling good = looking good
  • Exercise makes endorphins happen, which makes depression and anxiety better.
  • If you stop doing it for a few weeks, it's hard (but not that hard) to get back into it, so just keep doing it
  • The future begins now, and establishing a baseline of health NOW can prevent issues in the future. Don't be like mom and sit all the time getting sicker and sicker and weaker and weaker. Your heart likes working out, your body likes working out, your mind likes working out. So do it.
  • Remember riding your bike around the neighborhood as a kid, flying down streets and pumping up hills; the freedom and connection to your surroundings, the sunset behind the apartment and feeling like you could go anywhere just by the power of your body. THAT feeling. Cherish it.
  • Capital Trail, mountain biking, backpacking, Iceland, Seneca Rocks, all of the places you want to get outside

I had a weird heart palpitation a couple weeks ago so I went to the doctor and everything is 100%! EKG was "textbook" and cholesterol was 154. Last time it was checked it was 185 but I don't remember when that was. Everything else was normal. Sweeet
