jbern Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 On Wednesday, I finished an 8 workout, 2 week program on the tonal called “Add on, Burn Out” and it was a lot of fun! Basically, each workout would start with one exercise (e.g. bench press), then the second set would be two exercises (e.g. bench press & rows), then the third set would be three exercises (e.g. bench press, rows & bench flies) until you reached six sets. The final set would be two exercises in “burnout mode” that always got me sweating with a high heart rate! Yesterday I started a 12 workout, 3 week program called “muscle build up” that is supposed to be a burn fat style of exercising. I’m going to be going on a family vacation in the middle of it so we’ll see if I stick to any exercise routine through that, but I’m going to try.

taylorjonasher Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Back in the saddle from vacation! I did not formally track a single calorie last week, but still managed to keep my weight relatively stable. I had one day where I didn't think about anything, probably because of the six poolside drinks clouding my judgment. Either way, it was a much needed break from everything and I'm glad I was able to get a way. I'm back into the progressive overload cycle until the FFG app launches, and back to tracking everything. Protein goals have returned, with a minimum intake of .8g / lb or 156g / day, anything more is a bonus. Still working towards getting down to 184 as an intermediate goal. I really don't feel too bad about being around 193-195 and not making my goal in the timeframe I set as I have put on muscle and lost fat - I actually have two abs starting to poke through and reappear. My annual bloodwork came back and everything is where it's supposed to be, so I feel great about my overall health. Today's Workout: Push - https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/14465676873 Weight: 195.6 (pre-poop.

ejgaudette Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Things have really gotten on a roll here. After a short vacation where I managed to maintain which was the goal. Things are moving back down. Running still, 3 to 4 days a week but got my desk treadmill back working for the off days so I can put in 3 hours and about 7.5 miles while I work to keep things moving. Eating has been the biggest thing though, getting back to the more thoughtful and plant based diet really helps. Also this weekend we had some trees cut down that I not get to stack so 2 to 3 hours of that the past couple of days has been some good working as well. Down about 10 lbs so far. Looking to keep things rolling this week!

pineneedlespro Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 For those golfers that really want to exercise for golf fitness----I found a great book just for golf even with a 11-day fitness program. "Get Yourself In GOLF SHAPE" by Cindy Reid w/Steve Eubanks. It has year round drills to build a strong flexible golf swing. It explains which muscle groups involved in the golf swing and so on 200+ pages. jbern and cksurfdude 2 Quote WITB: MALTBY TS2 irons Mizuno 54* mpt11 wedge Inazone 58* wedge MALTBY KE4 tour driver Ray Cook putter M1X Integra #3 fwy.

One method is cold plunging. The health benefits that have been associated with the cold plunge method are strong. These may include: Reduced inflammation Better sleep Enhanced immune function Improved injury recovery Potential reduction of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)" I might give them a try for days like today!

One of the biggest things that helps me recover is the use of my foam rollers. I have a 36" one and a 6" lacrosse ball and sometimes I will couple them with a 10mg THC/CBD beverage before spending 30 - 45 minutes on them. I don't utilize this super frequently, but when I've had exceptionally high intensity workouts I will grab a can and go to work with the rollers. I'll usually do this an hour or two before bed and then I'm out cold all night, waking up and feeling like a million bucks in the morning. jbern, GolfSpy_KFT, ejgaudette and 1 other 3 1 Quote Titleist TSR3 // Tensei 1K Black 65g Titleist TSR3 3W 15* // HZRDOUS Black 70g Titleist U505 2i // HZRDOUS Black 85g Taylormade P770 4-PW // Nippon NS Pro Modus 3 105g Callaway JAWS MD5 50* Callaway JAWS Raw 54* / 58* Taylormade Spider GTX Single Bend Splitback / Ping Zing 2 Titleist ProV1 // Srixon Z-Star XV (Depending on how much money I want to lose any given swing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
