2026 Fitness Thread

Lower pull day for me today. Walking up 3 flights of stairs to my office was a bit of an adventure!
 
I missed a 100kg press tonight. Smokes a 250kg deadlift though. Feel good about the plan going forward.

Thursday was my official six weeks post left hip replacement day, last day of "restrictions". Friday I did my first real workout since July, albeit a light one. I'm going to do a four week "seniors" program using just dumbbells and bands from FitForGolf to ease myself back into things, get my full range of motion back, not go too crazy too soon on the new hip. Yesterday was literally one 20 lb dumbbell for squats and deadlifts. That sort of thing. Super cautious to start.
 
Heavy deadlifts, belt squats, hip thrusts, leg curls, leg extensions and calf raises today. Hard leg days are hard on a severe calorie deficit.
 
As I can no longer walk on treadmill or hard surfaces due to my sciatica, got the past 2 years I have resorted to performing chair exercises. I expanded my program this year and depending on routine, I go for 90 minutes to 2 hours. I typically do this program 5 times a week. I really think these exercises in strengthening my core had a significant impact on why I only went to the chiropractor two times in all of 2025 for back issues.

In addition, I also play SIM golf 3-4 times each week which helps keep the swing in check.
 
My CNS hates me the past week
 
Squats, reverse lunges, and calf raises this morning.
 
Still perfect with my fitness goals this year - 12,500 steps daily and F45 3x / week.

Let’s get after it THP!
 
We've made it past to the last half of January. This is sadly the point where a lot of people start to flounder and give up on their new year fitness resolutions. Keep getting after it.

Means I gotta turn it up this week.

4 hours on my mountain bike yesterday riding the trails, my legs are dead. Going strictly with weights this week, so my lower body can recover for my bike race on Sunday.

I need to start a gym membership. My plan would include weight training and cardio. Just need to make it happen, and I'm hoping my buddy will join me.

We're hoping to tour a gym after work today.
 
Squats, deadlifts, then a 10/20 tabata

Friggin cardio is hardio
 
3 Weeks into my workouts with a personal trainer. 2x a week. One day upper body and one day lower body. In addition, I do my own workouts 1-2 times a week.
 
Down 10.5lbs so far and holding strong on diet and exercise

3.5 miles this morning on the treadmill because it was -4 outside before windchill.
 
I swear some of these tendon strengthening moves kick my butt more than actual lifting.

Looked into Tabata that @blugold mentioned. I'd never heard of it before and sounds like a concept I would like to try to add cardio back in. I got too out of breath running around the house playing with the kids yesterday.
 
What in the actual EFFF .... Staying healthy and working on eating protein goals each day... open a nonexpired February 10 26 yogurt - tastes like bleu cheese - WTF

Lunch ruined and hoping that is all
 
So, KB exercises to complement the cardio on non-strength training days.

30 KB swings / 10 jump squats
25 KB swings / 15 jump squats
20 KB swings / 20 jump squats
15 KB swings / 25 jump squats
10 KB swings / 30 jumps squats.

Ball better go further come spring time. This hurts.
 
Bench presses, overhead presses, and lat pull downs tonight.
 
My buddy and I joined a gym today. After this massive snow storm we'll get, we'll be able to get started.
 
Hate being one of the new year resolutions person, but really happy with how regularly I’ve gone to the gym the past few weeks. Seeing some increase in weights which is encouraging.

Need to figure out my deadlift form though. Felt it way too much in my back last time. I think I should lower the weight and make sure form is better
 
Hammer curls into shoulder press, upright rows, lateral raises, and bent over rows
