What is your favorite workouts?
I have a feeling this thread is probably made already but whatever. what do you like doing as a workout routines? I do a lot of Insanity tapes, yoga and I run whenever it is nice outside! Dec 16 14 09:45 am Link I have some free app on my Android tablet called the "7 Minute Workout" that you can do most anywhere, other than having a chair nearby. It will get your heart pumping and uses a lot of muscles normally overlooked. I'm sort of surprised the second one on it (Past the 30 sec. jumping jacks) called "Wall Sit" really is a kick to the heart rate (i.e. Back against the wall in a sitting position and hold it.). I believe The New York Times had it listed as well as a diagram of the exercises involved. Nice that you can do it while in your motel room without a lot of space or gear. Dec 16 14 10:04 am Link When I can, dancing (ballroom and latin). I have such fun that I don't even consider it a workout. At the moment it's all uni exams, so the best my workout gets is sitting in bed with revision notes. Dec 16 14 10:10 am Link Running running and more running! IMO nothing beats a nice run through the trails here in thousand oaks Dec 16 14 10:15 am Link GRMACK wrote: I've never heard of that App before... I'll have to check it out and see if it is on the Apple marketplace! Dec 16 14 10:29 am Link Lisa Marcella wrote: Have a daily Yoga practice... oft several times a day...

Dec 16 14 12:55 pm Link I can't work out in this way as much as I would like to, but my favorite would be lifting cold beers I always enjoy riding a bicycle or taking guests for rides around Pacific Beach, Mission Bay, or Coronado Island in my pedicab. The pedicab is particularly good and invigorating exercise. http://www.pbase.com/click_hamilton/image/108982492/ Dec 16 14 01:40 pm Link Click Hamilton wrote: Sure, for her.

One day I'll actually look like i exercise again. Dec 16 14 05:42 pm Link Well yesterday looked like this: Hellish leg day: Leg extensions, 3 sets of 12 reps in "21s" pattern Lying hamstring curl, 3 sets of 10 reps Sumo deadlifts, 3 sets, 10 reps Seated hamstring curl 3 sets, 12 reps in "21s" pattern Walking out of the gym after that was difficult. My hamstrings hate me today. Today looked like this: Incline curl 3 sets, 12 reps Concentration curl 3 sets 12 reps Regular curl 3 sets, 12 reps in "21s" pattern Light preacher curls, 3 sets to exhaustion Triceps overhead extension 3 sets, 12 reps Cable overhead extension 3 sets, 12 reps Cable mid-extension 3 sets, 12 reps Light tricep kickbacks 3 sets to exhaustion I don't know what tomorrow will look like yet, but I've been neglecting my back recently.
