Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine Gym Support Thread!

Since we have one for dieting, I thought it would be cool to have one for those who want to share their successes / challenges / support exercising at the gym!

I know I need all the support I can get as I start exercising seriously with renewed resolve!

So, tomorrow: the plan is, during my lunch break, 30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical machine.

Then, when I get off work, it's to the weight room for squats, leg extensions, leg curls, and calf raises.

I'll check back with my results tomorrow night!!!

Well, here I was about to recommend jock straps.

Ooh, good call KP! I really need to start going myself... >< Maybe I'll find the inspiration to get off my lazy bum here!

Great thread! I go to the gym 5 times a week, but also have weights at home that I use. I think its so important to work out, break a sweat and get physically active as much as possible.

This is what I did last year to lose some serious fat off my body:

(4) Days a week
10 minutes on treadmill
10 minutes on eliptical machine
5 minutes incline on treadmill
5 sets of 10 push-ups
3 sets of ten dips
5 minutes in the sauna

I began to change it for a time to incorporate more weightlifting, and now my workouts looks like this:

Mon:
The above workout

Tues
Miliary Press
Lat machine
Tri-cep extensions
T-Bar Rows
Nose Breakers (for tri-ceps)
Shoulder raises
15 set ab workout hitting a bunch of different angles
*Basically, on this day I try to hit back, shoulders tri-ceps and then blast my abs

Wed
Cardio workout above, but cut the incline and do more dips

Thurs
I do a very intense bi-cep workout to make sure they are the most well built part of my body (in regards to weightlifting) and then really work my abs too, as I try to get a washboard stomach.

Friday
Cardio workout with some shoulders, tri-ceps and more bi-ceps.

Generally, I try to follow that, but business trips get in the way sometimes. I've also begun playing a little football on Saturday mornings with my friends...nothing too serious (no tackling), but a way to work up a sweat.

So everyone, what other things do you do to workout? I generally am up for most things as long as I don't get bored with them. I can't wait for the summer for hiking weather.

I joined Curves a couple of months ago. I haven't been there since before Christmas, though. It's funny you should bring this up today, I've been telling myself I'm going to get there tomorrow.
