This is just a little thread for everyone to share their hardest workout post sleeve in order to inspire others and to share ideas.

For example, my hardest workout is cross fit WOD just completed today:

1. 50 deadlifts (200 lbs)

2. 2 mile run

3. 30 bench (150 lb)

4. 50 pull ups (really hard for me)

5. 2 mile run

6. 100 burpies(almost killed me. Lol)

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

I love this thread! Today I ran 2 miles in the morning and then 75 mins of hot yoga (bikram) in the evening. I feel pretty unstoppable after that. Training with my trainer in the morning and hoping I can still walk!

You are an animal, will you rest tomorrow? What kind of exercise did you do before surgery? Did you do all that in an hour?

I will be back running a 5k tomorrow HIIT style. Should I rest? I have been training like an athlete ( and eating like one) for a few months now.

Yes, WOD above was between 30 min and 1 hour.

Before surgery, not much exercise. I couldn't at 300+ lb for 2 years proceeding surgery. However, I did do some running about 7 years ago. Not very good at it back then because weight was still too high at 250 to get any real efficiency out of it. Always got injured ( bursitis) because of heavy weight and lack of good running technique.

Today, I am happy to report no injuries yet at current weight.

Mondays, thirty minutes working the arms, then one hour of spinning class. It kicks my butt so hard, I'm still tired on Tuesday!

Haha, it's fun going back through my journal, I can always tell the "OMFG" days by how much sweat is on the page, and how bad my handwriting gets as the workout goes on.

This was leg day a few days ago. I had to sit for about 20 minutes before I could walk safely out of the gym. I'll include my commentary, as best as I can, some of its pretty messy.

Leg Press-still not full squatting due to back tightness and knee soreness. Started animal flex 2x for load phase yesterday. (Something else, but can't read it due to sweat blurring it out)

225 x 20

315 x 10

405 x 8

495 x 6

585 x 5

675 x 4

765 x 4 -work sets to stop at 6pps (plates per side), felt like baby weight, worked to 7pps and moved easily.

765 x 4

675 x 4

585 x 5

495 x 6

405 x 8

315 x 20 rested at 17 reps.

Cable Rows

150 x 10 too easy

180 x 10 x 3

Machine Rows

315 x 6 x 3

275 x 6

DB Rows

85's x 4 x 3

100's x 6 x 2

115's x 4 x 2

Triceps Pulldowns

140 x 12 x 3

180 x 8 x 2

200 x 4 x 2 Weight stack out of weight, bastards

Leg Extensions

155 x 6

195 x 6 x 2

225 x 6 + 4 HRT style (Hellraiser training, incorporating slow, delayed lowering of the weight for muscle growth)

Leg Curls

155 x 6 x 2

180 x 4

Reverse Cable Curls

40 x 10 x 3, 8, 6

Hip Abductor-always feel like a pansy on this, until I can't walk the next day.

160 x 20 x 3

So, there ya go, a glimpse in to my leg and back day. I do triceps every day, and usually add biceps in as well every day, tri's to failure, biceps to burn.

I jog/sprint 3 miles every day, twice If i was motivated.

I wish I can hit the gym, but not yet due to my back injury

OMG, you are killing me! I don't even feel worthy of posting to this thread...I'm a light weight....not really, still really heavy and can't exercise like that! Plus, I'm an old lady But I am so impressed with you! Anyway, I do 30 minutes ski machine, 20 min stair climber, 10 min arms (bowflex) and I'm up to 40 crunches. I was impressed with that until I read what the rest of you are doing. Great job everyone!

Mark - Simply amazed at what you can do in the gym. Incredible.

Everyone is inspiring! Thanks for sharing. We can show this world what we are made of, one person at a time. Keep up the great workouts!!

Pre-surgery, I would have NEVER posted here! Now that I am trying to release my inner skinny-b***h through exercise, I have gained a little confidence. So, HERE GOES!!!

Currently on week 2 of Jillian Michaels Body Revolution program (90-days total). It has 3-phases that increase the workout intesity each month. Needless to say, for someone 11-weeks out from weight loss surgery, still carrying 55 extra pounds, it is kicking my a$$. Even though I cannot do the whole workout yet, I refuse to stop trying.

Four days she has you doing circuit type training and two days of cardio....six 30-minute workouts per week. She does allow 'extra credit' so, on the four circuit days I am adding 30-minutes of cardio. WHEW!

I refuse to let myself stop because I can literally see the changes in my body. Never been a workout person so this is really amazing. I don't have to be perfect, just a little better than I was yesterday.
