🧘🏼‍♂️🤾🏻‍♀️Getting Sweaty Again: The 3rd Circuit 🚴🏼‍♂️🏋🏼‍♀️

[Wishingbox]

Oof lifted some today but was sluggish and didn’t perform well.

 

[*Twisted*]

I've been on my ass for the last week. Letting the cold weather keep my from getting in some decent workouts. I'm going to be making an effort to change that starting this weekend!

Busy day with holiday party and wrapping presents, better just suck it up and knock out this workout early.

Yoga was just what I needed to loosen up, feeling good now.

5 months completed at the gym as of last week (as of last week)! Covid and my vacation slowed me down a bit, but I'm in the best shape and everyone notices it I've been complemented quite a few times and some reasonable groping has happened to me

 

[mortis]

Did a 3 mile walk/hike on a remote trail. Before the bomb cyclone hits later today. So a couple of days on the recumbent cycle,

Feeling sluggish and crappy after over indulging the last few days. Tis the season!
Time to get back on track tonight after work.

Going to experiment with my new Bosu ball today.. as well as some yoga, a bit of stretching and lifting.

Think.. today is all about balance

Arms and chest today, I can barely hold my phone, lol.

I'm gonna add though, I have mirrors up around my workout room now, and I'm noticing a huge difference in my form. That is helping immensely.

One of my winter projects is updating my workout space in the basement and I've been considering a few mirrors.

I’ve been hitting the sauna pretty regularly after workouts and it’s been excellent. I find it difficult to break into a full body sweat when working out it’s usually pretty isolated sweating so it’s been good to get swearing everywhere. It’s an excellent detox.

Doing a bit of speed rope jumping.. as well as the rest: today is core day

Very impressive! Good work!

I'd be all tied up and on the ground if I tried.

Thanks!! Speed ropes are so efficient and fun at the same time

I’ve never actually tried speed ropes. I’m not sure if it’s my insecurity of being tall and clumsy or that I would get too mentally bored.

Mentally bored...I cannot be the judge of that, but I have seen the guys in my gym, above 210 cm do the speed ropes as lightly as any ballet dancer could ever dream of

And.. there are one legged jumping, double unders..so many variations

As well as weighted handles, giving you an upper body workout as well.

I must admit, I did not think that I would enjoy it this much, but now it is an essential part of my routine

Speed and I don't mix....unless I'm cycling, then I'm ok.

You can do.. almost.. everything, with some practice

Yeah I guess I hadn’t thought both the mental focus / activity of all the different movement types. I just picture the standard around top motion.

It’s probably like most things our prejudice and fears towards them likely are way off from what they actually are.

This morning was much better than yesterday. I did a core focused ballet barre class which kicked my ass. I have such a satisfying sweat right now.

Nice work! Keep it up! I've lost my motivation with the holidays. I'll be back at it religiously after the New Year!

In the Winter when I can't swim, I resort to stationary bike and step treadmill for my Cardio. My knees bark at me the next day if I try anything too high impact.
