2nd day back in the gym.
No appointment necessary, nor any extra cost.
I'll be sore this weekend, but I've lost little strength but it will take me months to get my endurance back to where it was.
Still great to be back in the gym, going for bike rides the next two days.
 
4 mile down, weights back on track. decided to eat 200 extra cals for the next few days to see if my weight continues to level out or reverse. brogability now.

lunch:
proton bar
nature valley proton bar
2 coffee
1 liter of water

dinner:
2 cups of rice
12oz NY steak
2 fried eggs
cherry coke zero

leftover cals:
2 scoops of proton
 
Installed both a rhythm, and double-end, bag in my house the other day, to help entice me into a regular home workout routine.
 
Did a little less than half the way around Lake Tahoe. 33 miles in 2:10. Great weather

Nice. :thumbup

Smokey here so no swimming the last two days.
So... Arms shoulders and push ups for the last two days.

Heard Sunday will be good for a swim. Hope so.

Why am I hoping...? it sucks. :laughing

Because it is really good for me and thankfully now I need it.
 
I haven’t worked out in a month. Probably up 9-10 lbs thanks to some asshole in Wuhan that ate a bat. On a positive note the lay off gave time for my bicep tendon to heal.

:wow

No shit. Glad you got thru it.

Finding a bright side is always good.
Best on the come back.
 
My friend who did the 33 mile ride went for a run after.
Is he a triathlete?

Had a roommate back in 90 who was a very high level triathlete, he was always riding, running or swimming when he wasn't working.

He ended up moving in with a sugar mamma so that he could focus more on his training. That gave him some additional physical activity to do. :laughing

The lady who ran after is probably our fittest female friend, she teaches yoga and cycles and of course runs.

We did a another 20 mile cycle yesterday which was brutal after a night of drinking and partying.

My gym opened up on Oct. 1. You have to make a reservation and pay $10 for one hour. So today I hit the gym for a light workout.

Same Dan. My gym can eat my ass. I asked for my annual fee back and supposedly they're sending it. Forget that V4 Ducati...I bought the equivalent in gym equipment. I'll get pics soon. I figure I'm never going back to the gyms AND they're gonna shut down soon anyway.

I abhor the "health" officer and the governor for their positions on real health and fitness facilities. Assholes. That's how I REALLY feel.

I hope you included one of these, it would cover quite a few machines in exercises.

Years ago I thought about quitting the gym and getting one of these, with a little creativity I could hit every muscle group with it.
