Tori72 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Still working out. Have been a little sloppier lately, consistency is difficult somehow. Will start again. How are your Anti Gravity classes going, @Gracii Guns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I'm still running 5 km four times a week and I've now started regularly playing short tennis as well (tennis with a soft ball on a smaller court), it's a pretty good workout, I certainly end up drenched in sweat. There was a period of about a month just before Christmas where my knee started to experience pain when I was running, and I ended up having to run with a compression bandage for a bit, and to reduce the speed at which I was running, but fortunately since the start of the new year, I haven't felt anything similar, and I never had to take time out of my routine. Still at around the same weight, but as I mentioned earlier in the thread, I've put on muscle so I can't really judge my progress by my weight any more. My stomach is definitely carrying less flab though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson87 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I've started doing kettlebell workouts and I'm seeing a lot of progress. They work almost every muscle in your core 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1989 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I'm a fat bugger these days. I started lifting a few months back, but then losing my job made me feel awful, and I only really got back to normality about 2 weeks ago. I had hit 95kg, i'm now back down to 91.6kg as of this morning. In 2016 i got down to 72kg and it was too skinny, so 82kg is a midway point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracii Guns Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 Nice one @Chris1989. Are you still cycling? A few months ago I was near my target weight and looking good. But I've eaten loads this summer, not helped by spending a significant amount of time working in London. I've planned a slower September so I can get in shape. I'm doing C25K again. I need to go from 153lbs to 142lbd for November 30th's awards ceremony. It's perfectly achievable as long as I keep running. Also, am on the 30 day sexy arms challenge. 💪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1989 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Still cycling but primarily focusing on open water swimming these days. Just in from the gym actually, where five days off hasn't hampered my gainz. All good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I weighed myself today. I am apparently the heaviest I've ever been at 227 lbs/103 kg, but I also feel the fittest I have ever been. I set a personal best for running 11 km a couple of days ago (1 hour, 6 minutes) and I'm carrying the smallest amount of visible (or pinchable) body fat I've had since I was a child... Go figure.

Well you are about 18 feet tall so you can carry it better than most. I’m about 88kg and look like a potato. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvanG Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I just weighed myself, realized I hadn't done so in years. I'm 72 kg, checked online and apparently the ideal weight for someone with my height is 80.4 kg - 87.5 kg, but I've been around 70 kg since I was 18, so I'm sure I'm good. No reason to workout.

Gracii Guns Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 I've found a gym that's really close to my work. Ended up in a class on Thursday morning which was described as "cardio and body polishing". In reality, it was my first time weightlifting and mat work. It's a shame I can't keep up that class as we're having a change of routine later in September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gotten back into lifting again after 6 years and I don't know why I've been putting it off for so long. I felt stronger after my first session than I have in a long time. Of course I'm bumming off a friends membership, hoping no one at the place figures out we dont look a lot alike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1989 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Just finished in the top 70 of Swim Serpentine. No biggy, only beat 2600 people to finish in the top 2.6% of swimmers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So give that a try if you ever do get joint issues or whatever. I will have to talk to my doctor about that Or ask my scientists to make me some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can't possible be good I think it's time for you to change your nickname to "SqueakingMonster" and post a recording of yourself attempting to walk down some stairs. File name suggestion: "Shanananaknees, knees". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracii Guns Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 I'm now running three times a week. Currently at 7.5k, working towards 10k. Also doing daily toning workouts, with an emphasis on my abs. I'm not interested in losing weight, as I've always been medium sized, I know I eat alright. I just want to get fitter, in the hope it will increase my chances of living longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
