Did 1,000 reps with the Mace. I want to start doing this 3 times a week. That means I will have to do it on a workday.
20lb Mace x 200
15lb Mace x 200
10lb Mace x 400
7lb Mace x 200
Inversion - 10 minutes
I’m going to do some more inversion today. I’m having some moderate leg pain. I plan on doing a little housework today and some more inversion should help.

 

[BPPLEE]

I did 10 minutes inversion this morning and my leg is doing good
I did Side to Side with one hand and added curl catches to make it more challenging.

1,000 reps with the maces and inversion

I had to go to the Social Security office yesterday and sit around for a few hours, waiting, so I didn't do any exercise.

I used my vibration plate for about ten minutes and I did some Indian club swings for about another ten minutes, plus some yoga. I'll probably go for a walk this morning, as well.

I’m having some leg pain this morning. I’m going to do inversion and work back and shoulders later today.
X3 Seated Rows SS/w Krusher x 2ss
Total Gym Pull Ups X 3 sets
Total Gym Military Press x 2 sets
InnStar Shoulder Press x 3 sets

 

[BPPLEE]

Still having some leg pain. I did some inversion this morning and if I’m still having leg pain tomorrow I will skip the mace workout and workout with the weights and bands while avoiding putting strain on my lower back.
I had hoped to stop taking the UMary by now. I go to the pain doctor the 13th and I am going to ask about pain meds. I need something when the pain is bad and I have to keep going.

It might take more than a few days of recovery. Sometimes I have found a single day off isn't enough.

I’m going to try just working out with the bands, Total Gym and dumbbells with no Mace and nothing that strains my lower back and doing inversion.
I hate not doing the Mace workouts, I was doing 33 minutes nonstop.
I’m going to increase the volume somewhat on my other workouts to try to make up some of the difference.

Counting to 1,000 is the accomplishment!

I found counting big numbers to be cumbersome (and very annoying if I lost count) I so much prefer to just use a timer than count the reps.

My routine hasn't changed much since I started skating December last year except for doing more difficult skating moves and more skating hours. I still do 40 lb dumbbells 3x each week. I currently weigh 121 lbs. It seems I'm no longer losing weight even if I consistently eat significantly less calories everyday.

It takes 33 minutes. I am still working on losing 40 more pounds. It’s not happening as fast as I would like.

Sounds right. It takes me 15 minutes to do 500 squats. I don't do squats anymore.

33 minutes makes it a cardio workout.

I'm currently doing a total of 14 hrs of skating sessions each week not counting the dumbbell workouts. I don't use a timer/alarm and don't have a watch so I have no idea how long the sessions have gone until I decide to stop, not from exhaustion but simply the feeling I've been out too long.

Outdoor training temperatures range from 90 F to over 100 F and I don't eat nor drink during the sessions and for several hours before the training session.

I think it forces the body to more aggressively burn fat for energy and also avoid dehydration in real time.

I don't recommend the not-drinking part. It's purely experimental for me. Pro athletes have died when they went too far doing it. I've come across animal research particularly desert-dwelling birds. They burn more far in dehydrated conditions. The research has not been done on humans as far I know except for the experiments I'm doing on myself. But classical athletes have often done it without the benefit of scientific research.

Drinking a lot less water may also be dangerous with the "standard American diet", high calorie diet, and also high meat diet because these diets do require more water from digestion and also to get rid of toxins from the body.

Be careful. I stay hydrated myself.

It's no coincidence that areas that have very high wet bulb temperatures (heat + humidity + sunlight) also have alot of cases of kidney disease. So I go out in the early morning for walks sometimes, before it gets brutal.

Where I live in the tropics, the environment is quite toxic, high levels of pollution (ground, air, and water), poor sanitation, and many have bad diet, binge on alcohol, and poor fitness.

Kidney and liver disease is very common despite the fact, everyone is hydrating quite well.

I usually do my Mace workouts really early, before the sun comes up

I do my skating sessions just after sunrise and before sunset. Cooler but temperature index can still range from 90 to 110 F.

I actually can't go out earlier because the tiled floor would be moist or wet making it unsuitable for skating. This gives only a small window of opportunity in the morning, up to 1 hr before the sun gets too high and too hot. So I do the rest of the sessions in the afternoon around sunset.

Sometimes I train indoors when its raining in the empty basement parking floors but it's really not any cooler. It feels just as hot as 100F outdoors.

I read that a hot training environment is one way to further raise VO2max (cardio fitness metric). But I'm not trying to. I'm simply training at hours most convenient to me and it's just hot all the time. I once did a long bicycle ride where temperatures ranged from 110 to 120 F around noon. The crazy thing is I'm not alone, many other cyclists doing the same long rides in the heat at the same time, same route. Everyone's used to the heat.
