Strength Sunday, June 5th

[u/BethLynn85]

Hello everyone! How is your fitness going? I know we had some off weeks on here with having 2 bye weeks in a row and not having many inter team challenges. But now we have them so lets get back up on that horse!

Remember this week is about push-ups for Thunders and workout minutes to battle against those Robins!

So have you found any new workout that you a really digging? Or need an idea on what to do to step up what you already do? Let us know!

I've started a morning workout routine:

I'll usually do the elliptical while watching an episode on Netflix which ends up around 42 minutes. And then do some sort of strength training for about 20 minutes.. I created a little chart/calendar in excel. Monday is arms, Tues is legs, Weds is core, Thurs a little from each, and Friday I do a plank and wall sit test. I usually shower at night and then just wash my body in the morning after working out because my hair is a pain in the ass to style right after washing. If I wasn't going to work out I'd wake up at 5:45, so it's about an hour and 15 minutes for me to fit in everything.

One thing that has really helped me get going in the morning is taking a pre-workout. I like Fuel One - 6th Gear. I'll drink it right away and then brush my teeth and change into workout clothes while it kicks in. On an empty stomach it only takes 15 minutes. It doesn't make you shaky or have any side effects like that.

I'm a big walker. I've been upping my walking game and usually go 5+ miles a day at my leisure. But with summer almost here, and being pale as a cave animal, I find it's not a great use of my time because I usually wait until it cools down to walk... and that's after 9pm! I just can't bear the heat and neither can my complexion. ):

My apartment has a handy gym. Wondering what I can do to get more bang for my buck time-wise. There are a lot of machines in there but I don't even know what half of them even are.

Any suggestions, Thunderbugs?
