I'm sticking with the one Smokepole and I have fun at. Working out is hard enough as it is.

I can't handle two threads. I just had to put my socks and shoes on, I'm too tired.

Looks like you're both already having fun on this thread.

OK, I'll bite. One hour of cardio today, 30 minutes on the gauntlet, 30 on the bike. All intervals, 740 calories according to the machines.

Never, I find nothing of value in causing depression.

My goal for 2016 is to not be as far out of shape as I was in 2015. To that end, I've done 300 more pushups in 2016 than I did in 2015.
Other than that, no real "exercise".

Now that hunting seasons are pretty much over and the plague has left the household, I got back to the gym on Monday. Dropped the weights to 60% of previous workouts but holy crap am I sore.
That's what I get for not hitting the gym during hunting season.

Well, as far as a new twist, and "what works," I've noticed a few things over the past year. I've re-habbed a shoulder with rotator cuff surgery, and now I'm re-habbing ligament reconstruction surgery on the wrist on the other side. This has forced me to do upper body resistance one-handed because of the uneven strength.
What I've found is, before the surgeries doing two-handed stuff, I was plateaued out. After doing everything one-handed, I've been able to increase the weight by around 20%, and I'm still improving. I think there's a definite benefit to doing weight training one-handed or one-legged. And that's aside from the fact that it forces your core muscles to stabilize from the tortion your body undergoes.

That's what I get for not hitting the gym during hunting season. That's why I keep going during hunting season. The only thing I didn't do was squats. When I get back to doing them its going to hurt! That's why I still haven't got back to them.

This must be why Battue never does squat in the gym?

I managed to gut it out, but it could have been more fun. I'd like to spread that pain over a longer time period this year.
I knew I wasn't in good shape, but realizing that I couldn't squat my pack (with meat/camp) was sort of an eye opener. Makes it tough to take a break when you can't stand up with a pack on.
