Fitness Weekly Discussion
What have you been doing lately for your own fitness? Try out any new programs or exercises? Have any questions for others about your training? Want to vent about poor behavior in the gym? Started a new diet or have a new recipe you want to share? Anything else health and wellness related?
After a long time not exercising, I have just been doing 30 mins cardio on the elliptical machine in the morning. It is so noticeable how much better I feel mentally on days when I do this.
I started to do "Running without destination", and it's exactly how it sounds, I simply choose a random direction and I run until I'm completely exhausted, following what's interesting or where I have never been.
Most of the time I don't even carry my phone, only my transport card and keys, not measuring anything is very liberating and it's finally making me enjoy running, specially now that I'm at a point where I can continue running without feeling any pain.
When I feel with energy and enough time to go back I run back, otherwise I take a train or bus.
I finally went on a short (6 mi) bike ride and I wasn’t in pain afterwards.
I broke my wrist this past May, and this week is the first week that my wrist didn’t need to be iced after. Progress.
I don’t think I can do my regular 10 miles yet but I’m getting there. I used to do a weekly 10 mile ride just bare minimum to stay in some sort of shape. Cardio wise I could handle it, it’s just the handlebars kill my wrists. Ive got two bad wrists now.
