Off Season Conditioning

[Nick]

Can't lift my arms.

Im in the basement now about to kcik off chest and back. Instead I'm browsing alpinezone. :lol: :smash:

I took my fat ass on a 2 mile run with my wife yesterday. She left me in the dust fairly quickly. I figured this was going to be the case, since I have ran since March. It just provided me that much more motivation.

Dropped the sharp end of a 50lbs steel pipe on my toe while wearing flip flops Saturday. Screamed like Howard Dean! I'm pretty happy that I didn't cut my toe off. But I can barely walk so my pre-season conditioning just took a major set back. Hoping It's not a season long problem. There is no way in hell I could jam it into a ski boot right now.

How many days in?

1st day

 

[snowmonster]

Fell off that horse last week because of work then feasted over the weekend to toast the summer away. I'm hopping back on that horse after work. I'll give the surf-specific exercises another week then I'll start working on ski-specific routines.

Ouch.... hope you get better in time for the snow

1st day

You will probably feel worse tomorrow. And if your arms are spent after chest and back, wait until day 3.

That blows. Do you have access to a bike? That could be ok with a toe injury.

Yeah, plyo was cool tonight. I kept up pretty good and worked up a good sweat, but not wiped out like I was last night. I guess I'll look forward to that again tomorrow.

Just finished abusing my body being on vacation the last couple of weeks eating steaks and burgers and drinking gallons of beer. Its time to do something with my fat azz. Started reducing intake yesterday and will be seriously upping cardio and strength training. Hopefully I can drop at least 20 pounds before year end so I don't roll down the mountain.

I need to start doing something. I think if I tried to ski right now I wouldn't make it to the bottom of the first run...

My MTB riding has dropped off sharply due to weather and other stuff going on, and that's pretty much the only exercise I do...

I'm pretty much sore top to bottom after three days of p90x.

 

[bvibert]

I think P90X would kill me right now.

 

[deadheadskier]

I have not done PX90, but have known of people that were massively over weight and out of shape who used it and gotten in impeccable shape. Sometimes it just takes several cycles. I've considered trying it just to mix things up, but I rather enjoy lifting at the gym, so I'm in no hurry to drop the cash on it.

This...and I've been getting to workouts a few times a week. Too much sucking wind after last night's workout...:???:

The DW had me doing some 10-minute Pilates/core workouts for a while but I dropped off on those as well. Need to pick back up on them, found that they helped my balance.

 

[Edd]

Going to check out sort of a ski conditioning class at a nearby rehab center tomorrow.

 

[Madroch]

Took the long weekend off-- resumed Insanity Tuesday--- not ideal. Last free pass weekend-- or not.

Wa-loaf- I kind of miss being so sore I can't even breathe (first week of p90)

I don't ever remember being so sore from P90x that breathing hurt. But I do remember my chest & shoulders being so sore / tight that it was very difficult putting on a coat or dress shirt for the first month.

Yeah, the plyo hurt as much as the chest/back from the first day. Arms and shoulders don't seem to be bothering me much right now (or I didn't use enough weight). Sometimes 48hrs after is worse than right after. Yoga X tonight. Not sure what to expect from this one.

yoga X is pretty tough, probably my least favorite routine in the set along with ab ripper x. I usually over did the arm routine and used a little to much weight and I also did the bonus round in that routine. Arms and Plyo were my favorites. I hated Kenpo X, very boring for me and barley a workout. But I also come from a martial arts background. The only way i found to make Kenpo X in a workout was to follow along actually hitting / kicking my heavy bag while wearing some heavy bag gloves.
