Daily Movement Goals

[Miranda]

I have recently started to use some of my downtime to walk at a local track. I now have a measurable way to track my sprinting progress because of the markings. I cant quite sprint for 100 meters ATM,  but now I have a concrete goal to work up to.  Do you have any short term movement goals? What is your favorite type of movement? Drop them here and keep us posted on how you coming along at meeting them.

My initial goal  is to sprint a full 100 meters by June 1st

So I walk the dog and hike local trails when the weather is nice.

I recently stumbled across a deal on a used treadmill that I couldn't pass up. It's a very nice one and the previous owner just wanted it out of his basement. It's in my garage at the moment because I haven't decided where I want to put it. But one of my goals is to get my heart rate up and keep that blood flowing, lol.

@BobI would love to get my hands on a treadmill. I currently have a vibration plate that I try to use at lunchtime every day. I have missed the past couple of days tho.

You know, I had never heard of these things until I saw Bill Nott in Alaska using one.

I’ve seen where Dr. Chaffee recommends sprinting and I sure wish I could try it but unfortunately I haven’t been able to run or even jog since 12/30/1980.
All I can do is walk so that’s what I do. I try to get my 3 miles in every other day but with all of the bad weather we’ve been having it’s been difficult so I guess my goal will be to just get up and get back to walking now that there’s a break in the weather.

I was able to do 3 sprints today. I also ran around the soccer field with my son before lunch today.

I try to walk 1 hr per day....(weather permitting)...I use resistance bands..lift dumbells...Wall pushups.. Squats..Planks...I just started all of this a month ago...It does help with blood sugar and blood pressure...I am gradually increasing the intensity each week..I am in way better shape than I was...However I realize I have a Long..Long road in front of me...

Well it was a good weather day so I got my walk in. Thanks for the inspiration.

My goal is to exercise 5 times a week, slow and heavy lifting. Will get back into running.

This week I sprinted on two different days. 2-3 times each day. I have also been looking for things to hang on so I can build up to a pull up.

I was able to sprint hard for most of the 100 meter. I had a ball cap on and tried not to slow up till I crossed the finish line. I wasn't able to do max intensity for the entire stretch but previously had to stop running before the finish line. I think the rest is important and I probably won't try again until next week. Coincidentally, I  had been sucking on a piece of salt from Redmond's 20 minutes prior. I feel like that helped.

I haven't used my treadmill yet. I think I need to. I was running with my dog at the park and my legs just felt super heavy. Hopefully I am just out of practice. I don't run much these days.

The last three days I have walked 2 plus hrs per day....Also 200 wall pushups..100 squats..and  3... 10-minute sessions with resistance bands..

Use it, or lose it, as they say.

Today I started to time my 100 meter sprint.  It took 25 seconds. Current world record is under 10 seconds. My first short term goal is to get under 20 seconds.

100 minutes of walking...10 lb dumbell curls...Resistance band workouts...Cutting grass..weed wacking...

Does climbing up and down this scaffold all day count?

This is a fireplace that I finished today. 12 foot wide, 16 foot ceilings, and the tiles were 24 inches by 60 inches. It sure felt like a workout, lol.

Absolutely!

Yesterday I went heavy on the shoulders workout and today they’re pretty sore. It stopped me from trimming a bunch of vines on my barn.
Today was a brisk 3 mile walk.
