What exercise have you done today?

[Trade]

Dead lifts. This morning I did 15 single lifts with 75KG at 3 minute intervals. 75KG is probably around 70% of my max although I very seldom try to max out as that's a good way to injure one's self. I've only been doing single rep deadlifts for a couple of weeks but I really like it. When I do multiple reps my form tends to deteriorate which also increases the chance of injury. At my advanced age injuries scare me as they take so much longer to recover from than when one is young.

[JBR]

Being back on the daily exercise-bike routine for several weeks now, I find I'm waking up in the morning with a lot less lower-back ache.

 

[hearlady]

Gardening.

Walking. I'm supposed to walk one hour daily. I went up & down the same hill a few times as doing so bothered my right calf & hamstrings, so I knew I needed to. Haven't walked backwards in a long time. I knew I'd forget. However, In My Defense!, I was totally out of walking for weeks.

Today I’ve walked a mile on my treadmill. Soon I’m going to increase it to 2 miles. I find the treadmill somewhat boring so today I listened to a video while walking. My arm doesn’t look like it’s going to heal anytime soon so I’m going to just do yoga stretches.

I overdid it this morning. Doing curls and then I worked on my lats for 45 minutes. I took a shower and when I got home, I could hardly lift my gym bag out of the truck.

2 slow miles on the nature trail plus bench presses.

 

[ArnoldC]

The usual. Army daily dozen modified for the 80 and over crowd (me). Warm ups, push ups and cross your heart crunches.

 

[birdy]

I walked 4.5 miles outdoors. Feeling a little sore. I did some weights for the upper body cause I am not able to get to the gym right now.

curls and flies with the free weights
Need to loosen my shoulders and strengthen lower back

Don't really care to lift weights, but put to music helps

 

[debodun]

My PT gave me some exercises to do for my leg pain, but One I can't do - push ups. She should have run through them with me and made sure I could do them or they didn't increase my discomfort. However, I get a 20 minute session so that are time constraints.

@oslooskar are you taking a break from the swim workouts? I'm just about ready to start mine.

 

[Remy]

35 minute walk with some uphill. Didn't walk yesterday. Will walk tomorrow.

 

[oslooskar]

@oslooskar are you taking a break from the swim workouts? I'm just about ready to start mine.

Yes, because the water level in the pool has been going down due to a leak. I was told they were going to drain the pool and repair it. I'll check on it today and see what the situation is. Anyway, how far are you planning to swim?

 

[davey]

kept moving a lot and walked the dog - now resting?

Oh, too bad...it could be a long time before the pool is ready to go. Hope it's fixed soon.
I don't know how far I will get..the new pool is yards so I'll probably take breaks at the wall after some 50s and see if I can add some 100s (freestyle) in. I'm rusty from not swimming.
