Default I'm on the road back - Terry's log

After not lifting for over a year and having taken a health screen at work and been scared by the numbers, I've decided to carefully walk back into the waters of working out (and eventually eating right again). This time it's not for the sake of vanity (but if that comes I wouldn't mind ) it's for my health. I'm getting old () and I've gotta start looking out for myself. Full body workouts twice a week and cardio twice a week for starters.


4/7/08
Let's start this off easy with some light weights shall we?

Squats: 4x8 135 lbs.
superset (ss) with
alternating db presses (seated) 4x8 35's

bent over bb rows 4x8 135
ss w/
dips 4x8 bodyweight (bw) - yeah I know, I shouldn't be doing dips with old man shoulders but I just LOVE 'em so until it hurts too bad....

swiss ball crunches 4x12 no weight


There. Nice and easy, got the blood pumping, I'm sore but nothing like I'll be tomorrow......

This won't be so hard will it? Moderation is key.

Hey, you're back on the log page! It's like the "old days," right, Terry?

Glad you're back at it!

That it is my friend. That it is. I knew I could count on the two of you to be the first to post in my log. Seems crazy that it's been 4 years since I've been hanging around this forum. Years before on MH where I first "met" Mahler. How time does fly. I remember when you used to have to get a mod's okay before starting a log in here.

Those days are over but sometimes they want sexual favors. I'll ask RedWifey what the current price is and then go ahead and take care of it for you.

Speaking of RW - is she upset with me? She used to post replies in my threads all the time and suddenly she isn't. ??????

Missed cardio yesterday due to a good friend's mom in the hospital and not expected to make it. With him good portion of the night.... Back at it tonight though. HIIT is my friend.

Cardio day.
10 mins warmup on stationary bike (ow! Butt's not used to that - get your minds outta the gutter)
20 mins HIIT jump rope cycle with walking in place
5 min cooldown

Feels good.

Whew! Roland got me jump roping occasionally a while back and the first time I did it I thought my calves were going to split for the next 3 days! Way to go on 20 minutes jumping rope! Hope you can walk tomorrow!
