2024 Off-Season Getting/Staying In Shape Motivation Thread

I dunno how many calories I ate today, or how much I weigh currently, but I did a 6 mile easy run on the treadmill tonight. Hope your week is going well everyone, season is getting closer and closer!
Pretty much been completely off for a bit now. The low back just wasnt quite clearing up even pulling back to mostly treadmill and elliptical. Have finally had 2-3 days now with no issues so will prolly start cranking back up today or tomorrow.
Work has been crazy and my weekends have been full. Have a 5k race tomorrow. Not feeling confident for a PR but hoping to do well.
My training might be iffy for a bit. Although I have a 5 mile race 6/1 too

Good luck in the race(s).
I got looped into signing up for parkrun so will likely be doing a 5k tomorrow as well, although I have a sick kid at home throwing a bit of a wrench in the short term plans as well. I suppose I can call whatever time I get a PR because i haven't done any in a few decades.
I quit the gym a few months ago....it's far from a judgement free zone, lol.
My workouts now tend to be 20-30 min before I go coach lacrosse. Just dumbbells at this point. 15's and 25's are all I use at the moment. I did just purchase some resistance bands and looking at a pullup/dip rack to put in my shed that I'm going to insulate. I was repping dips at 25 per before I slacked off. Back to repping my age in push-ups...which isn't easy if you don't keep up with it (48).

Likely will be a bit of a light running week for me, started on a construction project so I'm getting my exercise that way- I have an attachment on the back of my house that's sunk a bit and is all out of level so yesterday my dad and I ripped off the floor and cleaned out the crawlspace below. Today is breaking up concrete and leveling the floor, then maybe pouring new concrete supports and putting in beams.
Last week I sort of fell off the wagon with exercise and not getting sucked into my phone but yesterday I was up at 5:30, put in the work even though I didn’t feel awesome, and got my 2 minute cold shower in and feel way better. Short on time this morning for a workout so I’m going to do it this afternoon or evening. If you see this, ask me if I did it and roast me mercilessly if I say no.
Started back yesterday with a half hour of incline work on the treadmill. Got good and lathered up. Best part is no back pain this morning. Hopefully the break pays off.
Uh, per your directions, watcha got?
@boxerboxer , very friendly call out, ya asked for it after all
I have been under the weather and lazy as a pet coon for about 10 days. I did hit the gym as scheduled today, felt pretty good! Better than usual TBH. Also honest, probably still keeping it mild, I'm not quite right yet. Bummer but I'm trying to give honest feedback
Making good progress and its definitely a good all day long workout compared to my desk job. it looks like the photos are the same, but there was a lot of jacking up and leveling and digging concrete and dirt out of the way and re-pouring concrete footers and such in between the two photos. Finishing concrete and starting on putting insulation/flooring back in tomorrow.
Wife and I did about a 2.5 mile hike yesterday evening.
40 minute amrap this morning…
1/2 mile run
5 yard side shuffle w/ 2 jump squats x4
10 spider crunches
10 wipers
20 plank tucks
5 full rounds and finished the run on round 6.
I was struggling to maintain a sub 10 min mile pace toward the end.

Back at it consistently hiked 3 miles last 3 days & this morning first day back in the gym in a month. Good news we switched gyms & my family joined as well!! This morning woke up at 5, my wife & I went to the gym together. Then 2.5 miles with the pups!
Took yesterday off as I was pretty sore from Tuesday. Mostly just my glutes today, cue the crude jokes lol. I'll do some light cardio and body wieght stuff later. Energy and motivation are still way down, that's getting old but it's slowly getting better
Concrete is mostly done, original joists arent able to be levelled correctly so we sistered all of them at the correct level, layer of ply under, insulation then layer of ply subfloor on top. Half done with the room, doing the other half of the floor and finish fixing the exterior door tomorrow while I still have help (had to remove and reframe it a bit higher due to correcting the floor height). My dad is 68 and he's been kicking my butt/huge help getting this part of the project done. Impressive dude.
Then I just need to build doors to close in the crawlspace/storage area, rip out the rest of the drywall and replace it and the (inadequate) insulation in the walls, get outlets and lights installed and this phase of the project is done.
Next phase is taking out the wall (left of the photo next to the door) in between this space and my kitchen, should be fun since it's a load bearing wall so some temp walls and big beam header (maybe steel?) will be involved. Then I can renovate the combined spaces into a bigger/nicer kitchen. Whew. Going to take a while, but it'll be nice when it's finished.

Might be able to get away with microlams if you have the height.
Idk why I didn’t see the tag before but yes I did get er done! Thank you!
Hope you’re back to 100% soon!
