30 min run after a long time


So I apologise for not posting recently due to a lot of traveling. This has also interrupted my routine with me being able to work out only sporadically. I did try to follow Scooby's tips on how to work out during travel, but it's not easy when you've got friends accompanying you during your travel. The difficulty in organising your schedule around their requirements is a bit of a problem with the workout thing.

Anyway I am back in the saddle and managed to do a 30 min run today to restart my exercise challenges. It took me 33 mins 30s to run 5.4km. I didn't do any other workout today as I didn't want to exert my body after a break. I'll work out tomorrow and post the results of that.

30 min Workout

I was not able to workout for the past 2 days; but I managed to workout today. With exams these days, it is very difficult to manage the time. Anyway, today I managed to do 30 mins of pushups, situps, crunches, stretches, leg-stretches, and skipping.

30 min Workout

I managed to do a 30 min workout with stretches, pushups, crunches, situps, squats and leg-stretches. I am really making a lot of progress and muscle definition is showing quite visibly now. This article about body weight training and its benefits is a good read as well: http://www.motleyhealth.com/fitness/best-bodyweight-exercises-for-weight-loss

30 mins workout

I have not been able to workout for the past 5 days due to heavy workload. Sometimes in life, there are periods like this. I think that I must counter such periods by trying to workout in the morning so that droughts such as this do not happen again. Anyway today I managed to do 30 mins of stretches, pushups, situps, squats, crunches, leg extensions and some skipping. Didn't have the skipping rope, so I just did the jumps.

30 mins Workout

Today I did a 30 min workout with stretches, situps, pushups, squats, crunches and leg lifts. Other than that, nothing special about the workout today. Stretches Khermit?...http://www.aikido-reading.co.uk/micro_site/stretching/15_stretches.htm

30 mins Workout

Today I managed to do a 30 mins workout consisting of stretches, situps, pushups, squats, crunches and leg lifts. It was not very difficult working out today for some reason. I guess the motivation problem was not there today. It is always good to aspire to achieve a certain goal when working out. This helps keep you focused and motivated even though you are not in the mood. Read this for more inspiration...http://www.positivepath.net/ideasLB5.asp

30 mins Workout

Yesterday I missed my workout because I had to travel somewhere. So I considered it my rest day and I worked out today which included stretches, pushups, situps, crunches, plank, and 5 mins of skipping. It felt good, but not great. I think this was partly due to the mood to do the workout today. For a mood changer, I always look at pictures like the one below, which works most of the time.
