Check this out ....

I agree in my mind but in reality my peaceful nature and dislike of jail makes the gym a more suitable alternative. Also, I'm not very tough and I'm pretty sure I'd get beat up. I'm a lifter, not a fighter. 🙂

Isn't that the truth...feels so good putting an ass in their place!!

Your awesome girl, keep rocking. You are one hell of an inspiration!!

 

[millenium girl]

Thank you Thor 🙂

I have flu like symptoms (night sweats, cramps, my whole body is aching and I'm really tired) but that didn't stop me from doing fasted cardio. 6.6 kms treadmill, 700 cals burnt.

 

[millenium girl]

Well I took a 5-day break because of that damn virus but now that I got the OK from the doctor, I'm back at it.

Yesterday was 4.6 kms treadmill in a little less than 35 min (warm up and cool down included). I burnt 520 cals.

I also worked arms (you know I hate it ....).

Biceps curls
Hammer curls
Wrist curls

Dips (100)
Triceps kickbacks
Triceps extensions

1 set of 50 reps of each exercise

20' arm bicycle

Today was another 4.6 km treadmill -- 520 cals burnt
20' stepper

 

[millenium girl]

I'm still not 100% but things are improving. The coughing stopped and I sleep better.

Today was fasted cardio -- 5 km treadmill (warm up and cool down included) in 32 min (570 cals burnt).

Shoulders

Frontal raises
External rotations
1 arm lateral raises
Shrugs

1 set of 50 reps of each exercise.

15 min arm bicycle.

I get (have?) to use an arm bicycle as a warm up for my physical therapy. Usually 8 to 10 minutes at a pretty low resistance however. I'm sure your arm bike is smoking when you're done using it.

 

[millenium girl]

My triceps are fried after 5 minutes lol .... I only do it at a low resistance level. My stepper died recently and so did my elliptical. Only my treadmill is still working.

Today was another fasted cardio session. 5.4 kilometer on the treadmill in less than 35 minutes, good for 594 calories.

I added 100 push ups, 100 dips and 100 lunges (50 each leg).

During my lunch break I did 15 min arm bicycle (I intended to do more but felt weak).

One more workout tomorrow and then 2 days off (except for a couple of walks). Like I said the other day I haven't recovered completely from that virus yet. I have no strength, it sucks.

 

[millenium girl]

I took it easy today.

Fasted cardio
4.5 kilometer treadmill, 520 cals burnt

Chest/back

Deadlifts
One arm rows

Push ups (100)
Chest press
Pullovers

1 set of 45 reps of each exercise.

Abs - 200 reps

I will probably go for an early morning walk this week-end (more of a stroll than a brisk walk because my Achilles and knee are a bit mad at me for some reason).

 

[millenium girl]

I went for a 5.5 kilometer walk yesterday and today my knee is a bit sore, warm and the inner compartment is slightly swollen. I should probably go and buy a good knee brace if I want to keep on doing treadmill every day. What do you think?

This was frustrating so I did an upper body workout today instead of cardio.

Shoulders
Frontal raises
Lateral raises
Shrugs
External rotations

Back
Deadlifts
One arm rows

Chest

Pullovers

Biceps

Kickbacks
Extensions

1 set of 45 reps of each exercise

Abs (150 reps and 3' plank)

Not sure what I will do tomorrow if this right knee is still sore and swollen. I need my daily dose of exercise ....

 

[millenium girl]

Today was fasted cardio -- 40 min elliptical (easier on the knee) followed by 20 min stepper and a light shoulders/tris workout.

Frontal raises
Reverse flyes
Shrugs
One arm lateral raises

Dips (150)
Kickbacks
One arm extensions

1 set of 45 reps of each exercise.

I feel so tired that I'm not even hungry. My whole body is aching. I guess I didn't fully recover from that stupid virus. Let's stay positive: knee is less sore View attachment 21295

 

[millenium girl]

Today was cardio only.

Fasted cardio:
6 kilometers on the treadmill, 620 cals burnt.
20' stepper

Lunch break

After work
2 hours gardening (I guess that doesn't count but it killed my back).

 

[millenium girl]

I woke up at 3am today (nightmare) and couldn't go back to sleep. I hopped on the treadmill for 7 kilometer fasted cardio (800 cals burnt).

I slept 9 hours last night, I guess I needed it.
