Had a nice 20 mile spin this afternoon, someowhat spoilt by the two G&Ts half way round.   :bowler:

Succeeded in benchpressing 5x60lbs dumbbells yesterday during my chest routine, and my barbell inclined bench press keeps increasing (now at 110lbs, or bar+2x32.5lbs). 

This has put a high note to a very good bulking session of four months, in which I've taken 12 pounds while keeping decreasing to 20% body fat as measured by my sport nutritionist. In other words, I've gained good lean muscle mass and kept the fat under control.  :showoff:

Off to 3 months cutting now.

My New Year's Resolution was getting up early and working out before work.  Doing it in the afternoon with my son just wasn't working.

I am three for three so far!  :showoff:

I had hoped to do spinning like Slargos recomended but there is nothing at 5:45 in the morning at my gym.  I am thinking I should hire a PT for one or two sessions to put together a workout for a half hour a day.

Good going. :cheers:

Is anyone else doing much exercise or are you all too busy at the gym to post ?

Fit...ness?

I was running six days a week until a nasty cold. I haven't been back on the treadmill since.

The last few days, however, I have been doing pushups and some calisthenics in the mornings.

Went for a 35 mile spin around the Dorset countryside to an iron age hill fort, Badbury Rings, lovely weather for early January.

Couldn't help myself, but burn off a couple of groups of mountain bikers.  :blush:

Whilst out and about, I had a chat with a cyclist about running;hmm, I'm half considering taking it up again after, *cough*, *cough* years.

I've already already mapped out a 5000 metre circuit, I think currently I could manage 200 metres of that or at least to the end of the road.   :hmm:

It would be madness for me to take up running. :rolleyes:

Ran six miles at a nice jogging pace today, trying to get back into shape for longer runs. Aiming for a marathon in November.

I think my running days are behind me, I shall stick to bikes.

I ran a half-marathon last year in St. Louis and it was a lot of fun, even though the hilly streets kicked my ass a teeny bit. Until recently I've never really been interested in distance running because I've always considered myself a short-distance sprinter, but I've since discovered the joys of long and enjoyable runs in the countryside.

Of course there isn't much countryside in the city so I have to drive to the park or a trail. There seem to be a lot more of these where I live now that I've come back to Texas.

Did you put a 13.1 sticker on your car?
