Covid-19 and keeping fit
-
Did a video call workout yesterday with my gym bro. Worked really well!! Awesome to talk shit and train. Found a bunch of stuff around the property I could use. Bricks, a bit of concrete pipe and a full bbq gas cylinder that I could put a dowel through the handle for curls!
We did super sets with 30sec breaks, and about 90sec between each combo. Sore today!! -
@Paekakboyz what exercises in the ss?
-
@Bones we did 3 rounds of each of the following
Planks + push ups 30sec plank and 10 push ups
Bodyweight squats then lunges. 10/5/5 for reps
Curls + dips 15/15
Squats and lunges repeated
Planks and push ups ditto
Curls and dips again
Then 3 more planks to finish. Done in about 45min with a couple of drinks breaks.Cardio got me in the second half lol.
We are doing a chest and arms workout as a trio tomorrow and I've got a legs challenge going with a friend from work. So we are going to do squats, lunges, etc on sat.
Can't recommend it more, esp if you have a regular crew.
-
@Paekakboyz cheers! Be interested in the chest and arms exercises too!
-
@Bones I'd cycle through some push pull type super sets. Stuff like...
- Curls/dips or tricep kickbacks if you have weights
- Flys and some form of chest press, if you have dumbbells you are set.
- Close grip dumbbell press, hitting the triceps, then standing shoulder press
- push ups, elevated feet if you are feeling saucy, then diamond push ups to destroy your triceps.
I'd probably throw in some planks or have 2min rest breaks between sets, as it's all upper body.
If you have a good 10m runway walking overhead extensions are mean af. Say 10kg DB held overhead and doing that 10m walk. If you are finding that easy do 4-6 reps if shoulder press at each stop.
Easy alternatives to rep range is do descending sets non-stop 8, 7, 6, 5 etc. Or if you do three super sets of the above build the reps through 1 and 2 and go till failure (success!!!) on the last round.

@Paekakboyz yesterday me and the kids did a 75m circuit outside...
1st cone - 15 star jumps
2nd cone - 15 burpees
3rd cone - 15 press ups
4th cone - 40 mountain climbers
1st cone - 14 star jumps
2nd cone - 14 burpees
3rd cone - 14 press ups
4th cone - 40 mountain climbers
and so on down to 1, except Mountain climbers, stayed at 40will probably just sit on the rower today.

Three way today! Arm pump is real!! Found some 6kg DBs under the house so it was all about volume. Pretty much sets of max reps over 30sec. Brutal!

@mariner4life fucking A!
Who knows how long till my next live gig! š·š©

we have a decently long steep drive then a set of about 20 steps to the front entrance (Mt Vic so unsurprising) which I walk up and down about three times a day - it's not much but with my knees it's good enough - the hard part as with all knee injuries is actually the impact on the downhill. I'm not a huge fitness guy these days - 1 and a bit lungs means I have no endurance.

Corona fitness update
Actually going well so far. Have got back in to running and doing a beach run every 3 days. On other two days Iām trying to get a ride in and have set up some strava segments near by. Wife has also put me through a couple of pilates sessions - mainly working on abs and glutes which are two of my weak points
Running is going better than expected - did 5km first time and 6km the next.Running on the beach so not fast (around 5.30 km pace) but prob better for my knees. Will try add distance before pace I think.
Also 100 pressups every day - 5x20 this week. 4x25 next

Similar here - I'm a little ahead of you on the running progress as I've been unemployed for a few months! Managed 10km on the road/gravel today at 4:45 pace, keen to get down below 4:30 pace for 10km before lockdown is over.
I've also started the 100 pressups per day. I'm typically 30/20/20/20/10!
