Title: Exercise
Post by: comrade_general on November 14, 2014, 01:22:58 AM
Encourage one another to do some exercise during these fat winter months.

I went on a night jog (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6nFhcI4tgI) a bit ago.

Think I bled from the lungs again. :(

Well that doesn't sound good.
I shouldn't really be training much for a little while, I'm slightly injured.
Don't exercise people, it hurts.

I've been thinking about starting too.

I've gained some fat, lost some muscle. Relationships do that to you eventually. ;D
I'd like to get back in shape.

I'll start today.

What are you going to do Wolf?

I yogged just 1 mile to get started, but I'm still sore as hell today. I'll try to keep doing that for a while and include some planking and/or push-ups.

Planking, push-ups, crunches and some cycling on my indoor bike (only today, I'm going back to uni tomorrow).

Planking and crunches?? :o
Title: Re: Exercise
Post by: Silver Wolf on November 14, 2014, 03:11:42 PM
Yes. ;D
I've always done that.

Crunches work better for certain parts of rectus abdominis and oblique muscles, especially if you perform them with sideways rotation (with right elbow touching your left knee, and the other way around).
I'm a little rusty lately, I hope that you understand what I meant to say...

Yes, I uh, think I got it. :P

Rectus meaning straight and abdominis meaning abdominal.
Musculus rectus abdominis meaning Straight abdominal muscle, commonly referred to as 6 pack...

There we go. :D

So CG, what's all this 'yogging' about then? I'm intrigued.
Title: Re: Exercise
Post by: comrade_general on November 14, 2014, 04:55:54 PM
It's some new fad. Apparently you just run, for an extended period of time. It's wild.

OMG! I've gotta try it. I thought it might be jogging with or in yoghurt, but this is so much better! :D

Sadly it does, I've buggered up something in my left leg these past few years, usually it's okay but if I don't stretch down properly it flares up. We've got a competition/demonstration coming up in December so I need to keep up to scratch for that! And I want to be at my best for when I have to move clubs when I go down to Norwich for (hopefully) the next few years!

Okay, how did you bugger up leg? What is this competition/demonstration about? What are clubs and how do you move them? :)

Not sure really, it developed this problem a couple of years back, sometimes it just locks up for no good reason, it usually passes after a day or so though so no biggie. Taekwon-do stuff, we've got a small inter-club competition happening in December where some of us senior grades are going to do some demonstration stuff rather than competing with each other because there's only about 5 of us. Clubs are just different groups, I think they're part of the same big family so it should be fairly simple to move but with our lot you never know, splits within splits within splits.

I've done Taekwon-do in the past.

For about two years. ;D

I did it for about two days. :P

I started doing some landscaping work just last week and I'm surprised at how much I've bulked up already. :o

Back in my early teen years genes were very kind to me. I stuffed my face with junk everyday and I only did sport when I had to at school, yet I grew fast enough to never get that fat. When that wore off when I was ~15 I stated doing actual exercise, and I've mostly managed to keep doing enough since then.

Jogging IN yoghurt would significantly up the resistance, so it'd probably be a better workout.


Mostly I'm just doing a yoga/Pilates mix at the moment, to work on upper body strength - solely for the purposes of shooting straighter. Yay for having goals, I guess.

I do very little exercise :( I do bits on my own when I can, but recently I've just not done any from being unwell.
