The Exercise Thread

Finally got back into the swing of things today, although I took it easy. I did a half hour of Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps. Yes, it was only a half hour, but I've been preoccupied with some stuff and I also didn't want to overdo it (as you all remember, when I started going hardcore off the bat I got sick, haha)

YAY!

YAY VIN! I'm so glad I don't have to come kick your butt. Keep it up! <3

Today was part 2 of chest, shoulders, and triceps, plus abs. VVin!

Vin for the VVIN!

Yesterday I did bicep exercises. Today I plan to do abs and hopefully a bit of some cardio. I'll update again when I'm done!

Today was yoga and abs. Yoga was surprisingly intense! I actually worked up a sweat. Getting back into Ab Ripper X helped me realize just how tough it is, but if I keep it up I can get better at it.

Look out, people, there's a new six-pack in town!

Ooh what kind of Yoga did you do? I've tried doing the yoga stuff on the wii fit...it's so boring haha <3

Haha well Yoga X has poses like the Downward Dog, Warrior One, Warrior Two, Reverse Warrior, etc. I don't know if those are universal yoga names, but that's what they're called in the video.

Today I did a half hour of legs. Man, I get so tired these days! But I still feel it, which is good.

...teehee I love yoga names Is warrior one where you spin around in a tight circle, and warrior 2 when you lunge across the room? And reverse warrior...moonwalking with your shield up?

I forgot to update yesterday! I did the second part of my legs workout from Wednesday and had another super intense Ab Ripper X session. Whew! Even though I only took a week's break or so, getting back into the swing of things is harder than I thought.

My dad just gave me his Bowflex that he never uses. It feels so smooth when working out. I'm gonna have fun with that for a while.

Nice, chaos! I've always wanted one of those. I hear they're pretty effective.

Oh yeah, it feels great! Only thing is he can't find the leg extension for it so I can only do upper body workouts as of now. But still, it's pretty cool!

A very tough half hour of Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps today. I'll probably do part 2 of the work out tomorrow. Some of my favorite exercises were Floor Flys and Y Presses.

I finished up with the 16-minute Ab Ripper X workout, which is about 350 ab and core exercises.

WHO'S YOUR DADDY NOW?!

I haven't been posting in this thread daily, but I HAVE been working out everyday!

This week I seemed a little tired, almost burnt out, so I ended up splitting a lot of the work outs over 2 days, a half hour each day. On Tuesday, I meant to do part 2 of chest, shoulders, and triceps but again I felt burnt out so I moved on to plyometrics. I split plyometrics over Tuesday and Wednesday, and yesterday I did the majority of the biceps work out.

My weights are too light for these exercises to be really effective, although I am feeling more energetic, healthier, and look thinner. I plan to buy heavier weights SOON.

Also, Italian is fat. Peace is fat. Muffin is fat. HA! I said it. Now come post in my stupid thread and prove me wrong.

Man Vin, that P90X workout looks very tempting haha.

I recently started a simple workout called the "20-rep squat program." I usually do low-rep squats so this was kinda new to me. When I got done with the 20 squats, I felt awful. I felt like I wanted to lay down and puke out all of my insides.

And this is just the beginning...

I also think I'm going to be taking up some martial arts classes. I haven't been to any in a while.

Haha chaos that sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing, we can keep each other motivated.

Yesterday I did part one of the chest workout, which is a bunch of intense push-ups like military and diamond. I did part 2 today and the ab workout - 350 ab and core exercises. Haha, it's sooooo good. I still have a ways to go, but I look like a bigger, older version of my high school self. It's doing wonders for my self-esteem and is very encouraging.

I was never fat fat, but I want to get FIT - not just average. So I think I've gotten to that point where I can finally start pushing myself more.

I also bought an amazing Gold's Gym 40 lb set of weights (20 lbs each arm) that was only $20 at Wal-Mart. Haha say what you want about their treatment of employees, but I love their low prices. I still want to get 25 lb weights, but I guess I can take care of that when I move.

Just did the 20 rep workout today. My workout schedule is probably going to be Monday-Wednesday-Friday.

Felt sick like the last time I did this workout, but it's all for the greater good! I added weights to a backpack while doing bodyweight exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, dips.

It's amazing how much harder it is to do a pull-up with a few extra added pounds. I was struggling like crazy.

Now for some much needed rest...

Haha good work, chaos! Although if the work out's making you feel sick, maybe you should ease into it haha. Move at your own pace, personalize it, that sort of thing.

I've been doing a half hour of workouts instead of an hour since I just get so tired after 30 minutes. But at least I'm working out everyday and still seeing results!

Yesterday was legs, part 1, and a very intense ab session. I've gotten to the point (again) where I can pause the video to put in more reps. I'm back, biznatches!

Haha, it's alright. I didn't get that "sick" feeling today so I'm pretty eased into it by now. I left out some parts because my arms were still a bit sore from Monday's workout.

Today, I got out of bed and walked all 20 steps to the fridge.

I worked on my arms by lifting the heavy 2-liter Cactus Cooler bottle and poured myself a glass.

I walked all the way back to my bed, and turned on the television.

Such an intense workout. I'm really exhausted.

Haha Zeke come ON. Gay guys are inherently designed to work out. It's go time!

That said, yesterday I decided to take a break. But I plan to get back to it today!

ohh great thread! i'm going to the gym tonight. 3 miles, go!
