Exercise and Weight Loss Group

I paddled 8 km in just over two hours this evening. I circled the north end of the lake about 2.5x. The darker it got, the closer I stayed to the lit area along the shore. It’s nice for people to be able to see you if you’re in trouble.

The sun set at 8:24 pm and I came off the lake at 9:35 pm because it was just really dark at that point. I could have easily gotten 11 km if I had been able to get there earlier.

Anyhow, it is 8.2km around the south side of the lake and that’s almost how far I went this evening and I was still in good shape. The entire lake is about 11.8 km so it’s doable for me if the weather permits it on Sunday. Fingers crossed. I want to circumnavigate the entire body of water this weekend.

It’s OK ur doing well, weight loss is a journey. Takes time. Doesn’t happen overnight.

From the workouts you’ve posted you seem strong dude! I wouldn’t worry about comparing yourself to what people on social media etc are lifting. 90% of them are on steroids lol I’m sure your lifts are above average.

Got a big leg, abs, traps, neck, calves, forearm session tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

My left hand feels a bit swollen on the outer side though for some reason. I think my hand must be adapting still.

I think I did 8 km, but it was also towing my kid. She forgot the fin for her board. The Missus is at top left.

Getting deeper into le cut. I remember poet saying before he was gonna focus on just cardio, that’d be where I am now.

Some stationary bike, mountain climbers, plank jacks and gonna go to my mom’s now to walk/run or jump rope not sure yet

She’s gonna do food on the grill, think hamburgers or hot dogs idk

I’m super happy. On the bicep machine today I was able to do 10 reps of 85lbs (38.55 kg).

I started way below that.

It’s not as heavy as it sounds because it’s a machine and not free weights but it’s huge progress for me. I started at 15 lbs (6.80 kg) so it’s a lot of improvement.

Yay!

I’ve been walking with my mom for 45 minutes every morning. I actually look forward to it. That, babysitting, odd jobs, and day treatment is all I got.

Just did about 5-10 mins of high intensity kickboxing. I feel tired from it! Be good to increase it a bit!

High intensity really is hard when starting. I remember the internet says “about 30-45 minutes hiit is good”. I’m like WHAT?? lol

Oh ok, what I read stated to get the heart rate up so it gets the blood pumping which is the minimum, and about 1-2 hours per week… not too bad…

Your you still doing gym, cardio and weights training @Shhh ?
