August Sly Fitness Challenge

(1/9) > >>

TyMoore122:
Welcome to the Sly August Fitness Challenge. I was very encouraged by the July thread, and it was a great inspiration to me and driving my efforts...Thank you all!!

 Objective: Post your fitness goals for the month, check in with your progress, support others while they march towards theirs and enjoy the summer.

My goals this month are
1)   100 miles on the bicycle (includes 1 x 25 mile + ride)
2)   3-4 weight lifting sessions per week (with increase in weight across the board)
3)   20 Miles on Elliptical for the month (5 miles a week to mix it up)
4)   Increase Vo2max by 2 points (oxygen volume did get 2 points in July)
5)   Weight loss? Lets see what happens but go with 5 pounds.

Sign up and post your August goals….above all have fun and be careful, injuries impact goals….better to go light, than go home  O0
Cheers,
Ty

Just got back from the gym and I am feeling great.  My August fitness goals are gonna be similar to my July goals in which I am going to atleast workout 3 times a week. 

I am looking forward to participating in the August fitness challenge.  I hope that you will join me and TyMoore in making this thread active as well as being active in fitness.

Beardman:
Beardman reporting in for another month!

I am glad we were able to help motivate you to reach your goals Ty!

My month is going to be one of recovery mostly, I would probably say I lost close to half the strengh in my shoulder, so it is going to be a case of slow and steady wins the race here.

My goals are for:

another 5kgs (11lbs) lost

Get my 2km row under 9min, hopefully I get it this month :P

To do my strengthening exercises twice every day, as per the physio's orders.

And to not do any more harm to myself this month!!! LOL

I have pretty much wrote this month off for lifting goals, I am just going to focus on getting my shoulder right again.

I am looking forward to seeing other people's goals for the month, they don't have to be like Ty's or mine! I really like Warhawk's goal, and there was a time not that long ago where that was exactly one of my goals!

Thanks Warhawk and Beardman....great to be tripping down this trail with you all....

Beard- I had popped my shoulder back in Feb. give it a couple weeks rest and work around it, mine came back in a couple months and has been strong as ever. Now a days it s the left elbow, I have found support braces to be my new best friends now that I am in my 40's and they have helped minimize the joint strain/pain a lot (use Nike brand).

Todays a big ride with my son, heading down the hill and through a couple valleys, should log 20-25 miles (Beardman = 40 Kilometers  O0 ).

Beardman:
Haha thanks Ty O0

20-25 miles is a great effort, if your day is anything like mine is shaping up to be then it is awesome weather to spend outdoors (even for a winter's day), now just to decide what to do with it :D

Supports are a good idea, I will certainly look into them.
