I do multiple reps daily with 32 and 40 pound weights. Sometimes they give me hugs.

I didn't think that counted, but mine is 28 pounds, for comparison.

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

My lower back and calves certainly think it counts. And in all seriousness, I have significantly more upper-body strength and bicep/tricep mass now than I did before having children.

You should put one on each leg and go for a jog.

My daughter actually tries to get me to do that. It's not so easy. She also likes to be a backpack.

My daughter is a backpack as well. Also, I know it's not easy, that's why I suggested it. :P

Also, lulz for those who haven't seen it. My daughter is training like a masochist, too. Mostly with her face, and my crappy music, though. (I'm sorry, I didn't know my phone was recording my Slacker station.)

Oh, I really, really want to be in this. Really.

Of course, I'll probably fall off the wagon in a couple weeks, but whatever.

Do what you can do, and do more.
What I thought you said. Comp112, use Vector's actual advice, since you're just starting out. I'm doing what I thought she said, because if I don't, what I can do will not be enough. It's not something to do constantly, though.

That said, the ankle weight idea is fantastic. I use a couple of 3-pound ankle weights when I'm going for a long run, and it really makes a difference running without them. (If you run longer, use lighter weights. Too much weight for too long will mess up your feet.)

I was thinking of adding in some ankle weights, but then remembered what my surgeon/doctor told me, and decided against it.

BUT! I can still use them on my arms/wrist, so I will do that.

Does anyone know of shoes that are made for running on ice? Even my best running shoes get terrible traction in the winter.

Ice skates.

Become a figure skater, Barbar.  You know you want to.

I thought that too, but then I remembered the asphalt and snow that accompanies the ice. It could be fun, though. Maybe I'll learn on of these days. I could be good at it, who knows?

Time to start doing weights again. And riding my bike again. Well, when I get a new bike, that is. I used to be extremely fit, while I couldn't run very far I'd often go on 30km (20 miles?) hikes with my father. I let my fitness lapse and it's time to work on it again! :D

Weighed in at +25 pounds of muscle since getting back this May. Approaching 130 pounds.

Still doing the old freeweight routine but added bonus yoga today.

130 pounds? You're a stringbean! Unless you're not yet an adult or are very short, that is.
I'm 82 kilograms, or roughly 180 pounds. I'm 180cm or 5'11" tall. :D

I dunno what I should do. I was always capable of riding very long distances on my bike, so I think that'd be best.
