gweimo Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) I've been a vegan for almost 5 years, i'm also wheat free due to an allergy. I workout 4 times a week doing 3x full body weightsand 1x interval training (sprinting or tennis). I also walk my rescue dogs everyday, normally 20mins 6x a week and then one longer walk once a week of around 45mins to 1hour. I've had a difficult year, being diagnose as Bipolar in March so as you can imagine working out went on the backburner especially when messing around with meds as the initial side effects ranged from splitting headaches to physical sickness and utter exhaustion. However I know that exercise helps me keep my mood more level especially when i'm struggling with depression. Both the sense of achievement from completing a workout, the power of being able to lift the weights I can now (I was so weak to start with) and improving everytime.I workout at home as I have a good selection of weights, a chin up bar and a bench. I'm 5'8' and weight 55-57 kg's,slim with muscle, I easily lose weight but weights have helped me keep a healthier weight than when I ran (was around 49kg's). I've been vegan for almost 5 years now and love it, I try and eat healthily,very little sugar apart from chocolate and I am never giving that up! Fitness aims 2012: Consistantly workout 4 times a week Get my abs more defined by April Nutritional aims 2012: Eat a healthy,balanced diet and incorperate recipes from Forks over Knives and Thrive Make sure I carry food when I go out so I dont miss meals (bit of an issue) Have a main evening meal 95% of the time instead of just snacking. Have frozen,healthy meals in freezer so when we dont want to cook there's something there Will post my current weights schedule later as need to workout now!

gweimo Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 My shoulders (especially my right one) have been sore since my last workout on Thursday. I was unsure as to whether I shoulddo my weights workout but decided to give it a go as I had lots of energy and really was up for it. Was fine with chin-ups. However I struggled getting my weight over my shoulders for my back squat (I have to lift it up then over my head as I dont have a stand) and smashed it straightinto my vertabrae (ouch!!). My shoulder flexibility is way off. I lightened the weight and managed to get it over fine but it was tender. I went to the next part of my superset, squat arnold and could only manage 6 reps when last time I did 10. Was sore so decided that I would have to stop, am tender now. Wanted to workout but not use my shoulders, did Tae Bo abs and glutes- 30mins, was enjoyably difficult Not sure whether to take the next 2 days off (have to take Monday off as i'm out all day) or try again tomorrow but risk a longer term injury. Very frustrated as have had a fantastic injury record this year (basically none!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gweimo Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Turns out i've bruised one cervical vertebrae, had a very sore neck this am and is tender now when I move neck,amnot doing anything to make it worse (have to squat to pick things up) and have taken today "off" from exercise and will do the same tomorrow. Will keep usingheat treatment. Not to worried about missing a workout as have done 2 weight lifting sessions,an hour of tennis and tae bothis week. Will do weights/alternative if still in pain 3x this week and sprinting/tennis x 1-2. Was generally active and took dogs for a 30mins walk. Had a healthy cooked dinner both yesterday (tried Thrive diet falafel yesterday was seriously delicious) and today. Have found new meds has increased hunger and made me knackered in pm so must make sure I workout in day. Am also waking up earlier,which is good as other meds made mornings hard!

gweimo Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Today was a beautiful day,absolutely stunning. Dr says my shoulders muscles are probably in spasm from the injury and I need to rest them so no weights for 2 week. I've taken a week off thus far so hopefully this time next week they will be better. Went for a lovely 30min walk with the dogs this am. This afternoon I decided to do interval running as I thought it may be less stressful on the shoulders than sprinting as you use your arms for them. Walked and jogged to the common (5mins) Did 4 sets of this: 1.5min walk, 1 min run (medium speed), 1.5 min walk, 1 min fast run (almost sprint) so 20mins. Then jog up a hill 30secs. Fast walk home up a hill 7 mins.The common was fairly muddy and as it was dusk it was difficult to know what ground you would land on so had to keep abs tense as it would be either very bumpy from horse shoe prints or solid or a mole hole, makes it a interesting run though! Followed by P90x abs - 15mins long 25 reps of each of the following:In and OutSeated BicycleSeated Crunchy FrogCross leg sit upsFifer ScissorsHip Rock and RaisePulse UpRock up/V-Up comboOblique V-upLeg ClimbMason Twist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gweimo Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) That's odd I posted an entry yesterday yet it's not here! On Saturday I did GSP rushfit fighting conditioning workout which is 44 minutes long, I kept up with GSP no bother and enjoyed it . Have to say I felt pretty amazed at that. I also walked the girls for 20 mins. Here's what's included in the GSP fighting fit workout.Warm-up (10:50 min)- 10 exercises performed for 1 minute each. Torso twistsSide bend (alternating sides)Walk out arms to plank position/walk feet into standing/starting position (one rep in one direction, then turn around & repeat in other direction)Ginga (alternating rear lunge from capoeira)Squat down>walk out to plank position>push-up> return to standing positionLateral Lunges (alternating, both arms come to the front of body)Walk out to plank position>Push-up>lateral plank w/ 5 second hold (alternating sides)Air squat (squat w/ both arms in front of body)Bird/dog- hold for 5 seconds, work on one side, then repeat on other side.Roll down (similar to pilates version) Work section (29:56 min.) Round 1 (5 min.) Forward/Backward/Side to Side (30 seconds each side): stepping in fighting stance in four directions, stance switch, repeat on other side. Forward/Backward/Side to Side/Level change (30 seconds each side): same sequence as previous exercise with a sumo/plie squat (level change), stance switch, repeat on other side. Forward/Backward/Side to Side/Shoot (60 seconds): same sequence as previous exercise with a shoot (fast lunge forward w/ front leg, back leg taps to the floor in back of the front leg) and pivot to face the back, repeat to face the front side, and switch stance, continue alternating sides (two reps per side). Forward/Backward/Side to Side/Sprawl (30 seconds each side): same sequence as first exercise with a sprawl (similar to burpee exercise, but hips touch the floor), switch stance, repeat on other side. Modified exercise for sprawl: Step into plank position & step back to starting position. Circling (60 seconds): Alternate circling (right & left lead) in the room (like facing opponent in a ring) in fighting stance. Calisthenics: 4 squat/kicks (squat w/ alternating front kicks), knuckle push-ups (push-up on knuckles w/ hand pull off floor after lowering to the floor). Modified exercise for knuckle push-ups: isometric hold in plank position. Erik says that the calisthenics section can be skipped for those who want less intensity, or need a rest between rounds. Round 2 (5 min.)- focus on striking Each exercise in this round is performed for 30 seconds each side, sequence is completed on one side, switch stance, repeat sequence on other side. Jab/cross/hook/level change Upper Cut/Hook/Rear Knee/level change: Rear knee is knee raise w/ the rear leg. Hook/Cross/Hook/Rear kick/Sprawl Jab/Cross/Hook/Rear Kick/Kick check: Kick check is a knee raise w/ the opposite leg of the rear kick leg (leg is facing front for all, except Georges, he has a turned out leg/knee). Jab/Roundhouse/Side kick: same leg is used for both kicks, the rear leg performs the roundhouse kick and rotates the body (180 turn), then pivot back to starting position after side kick. Calisthenics Round 3 (5 min.)- focus on striking & takedowns Each exercise in this round is performed for 30 seconds each side, sequence is completed on one side, switch stance, repeat sequence on other side. Jab/cross/level change Jab/cross/shoot: there is a quick level change before the shoot, and body is pivoted around to face other side (back). Cross/Hook/Shoot/Lift/Slam: The lift is where one pretends to grab an opponent from the side (arms clasped together, raise overhead), and the slam is pretending to slam the body to the ground (body rotates into plie/sumo squat & arms are brought down to knee level)). Body pivots around to face other side (back) after the slam move. Elbow/ Elbow/Uchi Mata (Judo throw): Alternating elbows (rear vertical, then Front), back step (body faces back), Uchi Mata (step, arms touch the floor, while one leg lifts back for a moment in line w/ the body/, or a bit above/ 3/4 of a standing split, Georges lifts higher than the others), pivot all the way around to face the front. Uppercut/Hook/Sprawl Calisthenics: 4 squat/kicks (squat w/ alternating front kicks), knuckle push-ups (push-up on knuckles w/ hand pull off floor after lowering to the floor). Modified exercise for knuckle push-ups: isometric hold in plank position. Erik says that the calisthenics section can be skipped for those who want less intensity, or need a rest between rounds. Round 4 (5 min.)- focus on ground work & Jiu-Jitsu Each exercise is performed for 60 seconds. Hip escape: Starts out by lying on back w/ bent knees, turn to side and body forms 90 degree angle (on the floor), one leg is straight, while the other has a bent knee or can be more straight, the arms reach for the toes, alternate sides. Armbar abs: Lie on back w/ one bent knee, one straight leg, facing forward, alternate rotating body to the side w/ one straight leg making a swinging motion, the other leg has a bent knee (folds under as body rotates to side). Shoulders & head stay off of the floor during the exercise, hands are clasped w/ arms on chest or a held above. Kimura (shoulder lockout) Sit up: Lie on back w/ bent knees, rotate to one side w/ upper body, and the moving arm forms a lockout by holding on to the wrist of the static arm (bent at the elbow), alternate sides. Triangle choke: Lie on back w/ bent knees, kick both legs and body is off the floor “get up on the shoulders” quickly place the ankle of a turned out leg (bent knee) in back of the other leg’s knee (bends to meet it), alternate sides. Sit Up to Hip Heist: Lying on back w/ entire body on floor, reverse crunch to upright position (leg straight in front of body), into hip heist (lift hips up, one leg kicks through to sit facing the opposite side, other leg quickly joins it). Calisthenics Round 5 (5 min.) Each exercise is performed for 30 seconds on each side. Jab/cross/step off/front kick: Step off is a side step (it’s very quick), there is a pivot to face the other direction, repeat exercise. Standing Guard Pass w/ two punches: start w/ knees on the floor, stand up (one leg at a time) and punch down twice, return to floor, repeat (knee that stands up first, is the first to return to the floor). Elbow/Elbow/Knee/Level change: knee is a rear knee. Jab/Front Kick/Sprawl/Knee: Rear leg performs the kick and knee. Scramble: Rotations w/ body on floor, body starts in plank position, then knees bend (picture quadruped position w/ knees off of the floor). The body rotates (half or full rotations) w/ opposite arm to leg supporting the rotational movement & transfer of weight. The butt should not touch the floor, and should move as fast as possible. Calisthenics Cooldown (6: 52 min)- all on floor, 30 second hold for each exercise Hip flexor stretch w/ arm up, repeat on other side Side straddle (full split position) or butterfly stretch (alternate exercise) Hamstring stretch (both legs, straight, facing forward, bend at waist & arms reach forward) Hip extensor/abductor stretch- legs both bent to 90 degrees, one in front and one in the back (front leg, outside of leg is flat on floor, back leg has inside of leg flat on floor)> bend at waist to bring upper body forward (as far as possible), elbows rest on floor. Lat stretch- start in quadruped position> extend both arms forward> sit/drop back the butt to the heels and hold (cues to widen stance of knees to also stretch the adductors). Chest & shoulders stretch- arms straightened in the back of the body & hands clasped together, and arms are lifting upwards, this is performed while sitting on the heels. Sunday was a rest day apart from a 15min walk with the dogs. I used this day to evaluate my week and plan the next. I was pleased with my progress this week,not allowing my injury as an excuse to not exercise. I ate well and had a proper dinner every evening,i'm really happy with this. The plan for this week is:Monday - Revised weights (careful on the shoulder)Tuesday- Sprinting or Interval or DVD and p90x abs (not if a dvd includes it)Wednesday-RestThursday- Weights A and absFriday- Sprinting/Interval or TennisSaturday-Out all day restSunday- Out all day rst Edited January 12, 2012 by gweimo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gweimo Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Monday:Renegade rows 18kg 10+8+6 Supersetted with Front Squats 35kg-10+8+6Preacher curs 8kg-10 9kg-8+5 supersetted with Decline pushups-22+20+15Chin ups-20+20+17 supersetted with 2 arms swings 30kg-10+8+6Then a friend came over 20mins early so I didnt do my final exercise overhead squats. Was very irritated by this but what can you do? Tuesday:Insanity max interval circuit- This is possibly the hardest workout i've ever done,I was fine with rushfit,p90x plymometric and the pit but this almost killed me. 57mins/60 mins then sharp pain in left hip so streched. This included a pretty difficult abs section (although easier than other stuff but I have strong abs). My shoulders were tender after which is not good.

gweimo Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Day off today. Was a very busy long day. Did 1hour 20mins of fast walking (is the way I walk) today including 6 mins up a steep hill, twice. Dog walk included in total. Left shoulder was tender today but should be ok for tomorrow,will certainly be careful with it. Did well by pre planning meals and having a healthy soup ready for dinner this evening which was fantastic as I was hungry when I got in despite taking celery and almonds.

gweimo Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Decided to play tennis today and do weights tomorrow as it was one beautiful day today and it's meant to be bloody cold tomorrow! Had a goodgame, kept my heart rate up for the whole time which was 45-50mins. Was a 20 minute fast walk (70% of the time downhill) there and a 25min (70% of the time uphill) fast walk home. Also took the dogs for walk,about 20mins of walking (they like playing ball so much more for them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gweimo Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Felt off the pace today,everything seems to take 4x as long and require more energy,think it's my sleep being disturbed catching up with me. Will go to bed early tonight. Did Weights B and abs today, took about 1 hour 20mins which is about 15mins longer than usual,was a combination of being slower than usual and getting into the routine again,knowingwhich weights I use for x exercise etc. he exercises next to each other are supersetted e.g I do one set of front squats then one set of 1 arm rows.

gweimo Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Am in pain,not just stiff or a bit tender but sore today,arms and shoulders especially. Day off today anyway,may change tomorrow to interval/sprinting and do weights on Thursday. Was busy today about 1.5hrs medium walking,some shopping. Ate a proper dinner but also some naughty snacks after,all husbands fault for bringing them into the house . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gweimo Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Shoulders and arms by elbow joints still sore,thinking bad to my clean and presses I hyper-extended my arms both due to the weight and momentum. This will have taxed my already slightly sensitive shoulders and hurt my tendons near elbow. Very frustrating being sore and injured. Seems to have been an issue this year. Will miss the middle weights session and replace with eve then for Saturday weights will go for lighter weights and do 12,10 and 8 reps instead of 10,8 and 6. Today I did the pit lows body which is 51 minute long and your legs certainly feel it with over 250 squats alone. Will go sprinting and do p90x abs tomorrow.

gweimo Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Went sprinting today,meant to do abs too but forgot as was feeling weak and Knackeredafter running as hadn't eaten in a long time (bar a few dates and almonds before running).Times were slower than usual but grass was onger and thus softer and legs heavy from yesterday.Overall time was 19.45 mins,sprinted,rested (either walk or stop) to catch my breath then sprint again.6x 50m5x 75m5x 100m Also a 20 minute fast walk each way, hill on the way back. So tired now. Just finished making my mother in law a vegan chocolate raspberry cake for her birthday tomorrow,wanted it to be perfect,not the best icing in the world but first time using fondant icing. Made her the same recipe but as cupcakes to take to work and the chief where she works wants the recipe which is brilliant ad now he can make vegan cake! So annoying to not be able to eat it due to wheat allergy...maybe I should make wheat free cupcakes. Rambling! Sorry,must sleep now Edited January 21, 2012 by gweimo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gweimo Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Had a scheduled day off yesterday, just took the dogs for a 20min walk. The cake went down very well and I have more requests for the recipe . My sleep is absolutely attrocious at the moment with this medication,last night I had maybe 5 hours of very restless sleep, I feel awful,my muscles hurt and my recovery between workout sessions is slow. It's so frustrating but shows how important good sleep is.Planned to workout today but i'm out this evening and have been busy all day, to do a weights workout now would wipe me out for tonight and I need to walk there and back (about 25mins each way including a hill on the way back) and then stand for a few hours (for an Adam Ant concert). Will do it tomorrow instead, I am busy but I can fit it in the afternoon, this also fits in with next week as i'm busy Monday doing some vegan outreach .

So total 2 hours 30mins of walking,not bad for a day of rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
