Everyday Systems

Just wanted you to know I started the Couch to 2K program yesterday. So, by my birthday (June 15) I should be ready to run the whole 5K... Thanks for the inspiration. If you run by distance, then yes. If you run by time, then possibly not. By the end of the program, I will probably only be able to ...

Extra Monday workout: Success I performed a week prior workout to ensure that I didn't go in excess and it was mostly successful. I was able to get through the time allotted (1.5 minute jog, then 3 minute jog with walking in the middle) but I did not have an "on" day. There is a few factions that co...

Koopa, Nice work, fellow ranger! Sorry it's taken me so long to pop in here. My heart goes out to you regarding your daughter. I can barely imagine. Give my regards to NYC (my old home town), Reinhard Reinhard, Indeed, I have spent a lot of time in Boston as well (the most amazing children's hospit...

Workout 4 Day 1: SUCCESS!!!!!! Weight: 256 This equates to running for 3 minutes, walking for 90 seconds, running for 5 minutes, walking for 2.5 minutes. Repeat. Considering, getting into this initially, I remember having problems running for a minute, I am now able to run for 5! Had a bit of shin p...

I looked at the web site, and I'm starting today. Thanks for the unintentional inspiration. :) Only question, do you have a 30 second countdown timer or something that helps you keep track of the time? Or do you just use a watch? Would it make almost as much sense to count paces rather than seconds...

Well, all good plans never unfold as designed. Monday: Success. I walked from grand central and back again. A co-worker joined me on the walk back to GC, it was fun. Tuesday: Failure (softa): I drove into the city due to the fact that the president of my company was going to take myself and my new e...

So at this moment, you should have lost 3 lbs so far? :P The problem with exercising is that our body has a natural way to resist change. As long as you do not subconsciously add those calories back into your diet, you should be well on your way! Lets also not forget that you are adding muscle mass ...

Week 3 Day 2: Success New shoes have done some interesting things. 1. no back pain. 2. Minor shin pain (not sure if it was the shoes or just time) 3. Foot pain - this is new. I'm chalking this up to needing to break in the shoes. This time, I didn't shy away from the big hill in the track. Last work...

Just wanted to stop in and say hello. I'm sorry about your daughter. It must have been heartbreaking. I would like to set a goal to do something like you are doing - I currently run/walk about a 50/50 split, but the running is faster than jogging. I might look at that site and see about it! One thi...

Week 3 Workout 1: success Weight: 258 Nothing like going for a jog in the rain to inspire someone to attempt to jump to the next week worth of training. This is jog for 90 second, walk for 90 seconds, jog for 3 minutes, walk for 3 minutes. Shin pain was less, which seems to just be adding muscle or ...

Loved that show. Very entertaining

Why is no one smiling while doing the workout....great illustrations!

Week 2 workout 3 (repeat) success Had easier time performing the routine. Shin pains were less intense than other workouts, though towards the end, it hurt. The pain almost seems to be more in the calf than the shin, so I am chalking the extra stretching as working. The pain did not start to appear ...

Week 2 workout 3 is also a success. Adding the extra workout (back to back sunday to monday) didn't cause any extra stress on the body, so I will continue to do this until I notice a performance decrease. The workout was better than the last 2, I was able to go 2 sets without shin pain. Back pain is...

Started this 6 days ago....now if I could just stopping weighing myself each morning!!! I know we just want to measure the habit and I am enjoying coloring in and tracking my days using the habit calendar ---but each morning I hop on my old doctors office scale ( my dads a retired pediatrician and ...

Hi no this targets abs. If you are looking for a lower back exercise one is where you lie on the floor, have your arms by your side with palms facing upwards. Your feet should be spread about shoulder width apart. Next bring your chest up while reaching back towards your feet. You shouldn't be able...

The photos are indeed a great inspiration (and how cute! Lovely girl :)). Would LOVE to see a family photoshoot! As much as I adore NoS, I'm pretty skeptical about 14 minutes of anything. Sure, 14 minutes are better than doing nothing, but after seeing your pictures I just absolutely can't believe ...

Week 2 workout 2: success. Went a little better than the first workout in week 2. Corrected my lower back issues; I was leaning forward while jogging which causes the back to tense up (or so the Internet tells me) and causes pain. I still am having shin problems which I am hoping to work out next. W...

Week 2 workout 1:

Success. (just barely). For some reason, the 90 seconds of jogging affected me much more than the 60 seconds, have a strong feeling that the week2 workout routine will be repeated next week as well.

I operate on a lot of web forums and wish they would all be apps instead of webpages. Apps means that the site is formatted for the device, not having to do with a lot of scrolling. If you made an app for habical, I might actually start doing it :) I have the android and apple tablet. Have a touch s...

Obviously, jogging is not exactly urban rangering, but while I work in NYC, I live in the country life of CT and there isn't much to walk to. This is a shame as I love walking, but I did read about the couch to 5k (I am american, and not going to run in a marathon anytime soon, hence 3 Mile :)) from...

While jogging/walking around the track, I noticed this chick started to run hard, and I didn't really understand why. I then look down and I see some money, and pick it up. The girl runs up to me and I said if I found some money. I told her yes and asked her if it was hers. She said no... I guess sh...

I have a few hammers of decent weight (I'll need to weigh them and see if I have 2 of the same) and might have to try this and see how it works. This mostly interests me as I have a hammer at my home office lying on my desk from when I hung up something for the wife. When I'm bored while working, I ...

Had some problems with (I think to be) a tendinitis in right arm bicep. Inspired by some Youtube videos I found when I was starting shovelglove, I bought 2 hammer, 1.5 Kg (3.3 lb) each. I perform some rotations to warmup the shoulders and back, then some hammering and boxing movements for biceps/tr...

Is this supposed to work out your lower back? I'm slightly confused to where this move is targeting. If it is supposed to add flexibility to the lower back, I might give it a try and see if it helps. Glad that you like SGing, I've been at it for 3 months now with a 8 lb sledge. The first two months,...

I have been doing SG for 3 months and lost 20 lbs. I do not do NoS due to laziness mostly.
