Richard Gibney's 365 Days of Fitness

Day 231 Well there's been bit a of gap in the blog entries. While on vacation I found it much easier to just make facebook posts to log my workouts. So I did manage to keep the streak going. I will try to consolidate the missed blog posts over the next little while. Don't want to have big hole in my posts when I look back at the end of the year.

I've been enjoying getting back into the weights this week. I'm not trying to move any mountains but working through some big productive movements feels very productive. I hope to get the loads a little heavier over the next couple weeks.

Today's Workout:

Exercise 1: Barbell Overhead Squat / 2 min rest

Set 1: 45 lbs x 10 Set 2: 100 lbs x 10 Set 3: 100 lbs x 10 Set 4: 100 lbs x 10

Exercise 2: Deadlift / 2 min rest

Set 1: 135 lbs x 10 Set 2: 185 lbs x 10 Set 3: 185 lbs x 10 Set 4: 185 lbs x 10 Set 5: 185 lbs x 10

Exercise 3: Prone Leg Curl 4 sets / 10 reps / 90 sec rest (120 lbs)

I kept the strength work relatively short today as I wanted to leave some juice in the tank for joining my conditioning group later on. I hadn't seen them for a couple weeks so I was looking forward to working out with them.

Conditioning Group Fun Run:

Approx. 5 - 6 km

• Glencoe Stairs
• 20 burpees
• 3 min running
• 50 push-ups

• 15 minute run
• Core Series: V-Sits x 20 / Rotating Side Plank x 10 ea / Front Plank Body Saw x 10 / Ab Bicycle x 50 / Hanging Knee Raise x 15

I really miss running at sea level. My lungs were burning after the first couple minutes of our run and I was coughing for a good hour after we finished. However, it was a lot of fun to get back with my group again. A few of them have to head back to University next week, so I was happy to get in one more session before the left.
