Exercise

[Ryan]

I will never besmirch anyone on the path to self improvement. Good job!

 

[cory]

Just do 20 here and there in between tasks

Great way to get it done, imo.

Have you tried working out after the cold plunge?

 

[cory]

A work out after work is not an option for me.

This

I played a super fun game of tag on ice skate with kids on Saturday.

Great exercise, no impact... well, except for that one time .

Oly on Ice is a seasonal, portable rink in downtown Oly.

We will go to a hockey sized rink sometime soon, maybe. About half an hour away or so.

Is Oly beer big there?

 

[treebilly]

Just the body weight stuff to warm back up Cory.
Ryan I didn’t take it that way. Just putting out what I’m doing

 

[cory]

Try crawling on hands and feet. It's a good warm up and work out. Just don't let the neighbors see you.

My poor neighbors. The whole 66 y o bald man crawling up the driveway in a speedo, thing. I picture them shielding their kid's eyes.

 

[treebilly]

Probably not gonna happen. Well at least not this time of year. Limestone driveway and it’s mud season so the yard isn’t gonna be an option. Once the weather is better, it might be another way to make sure my neighbors know I’m crazy.

The brewery shut down 20 years ago.

 

[cory]

Well damn. When I lived n logged in Oregon in '77, it was quite popular.

I've been so far out of the loop that I hadn't heard of Big Oly's rolls. Phukin twice? Dumb!

Well, at least it isn't just sitting, I guess...

A guy from work said he might have a treadmill for me. I ordered a pair of running shoes the other night. Also the father in law asked if my kids wanted his heavy bag to play with. Of course I said yes to that. I might get back into shape yet😆.
A noticeable side effect is that I’m in a better mood most of the time.

 

[davidwyby]

Lots of branch managing yesterday..forearms and hands are not happy today. Any helpful tips?

Thanks

 

[SeanKroll]

Water and stretching.

Husqvarna hand tongs!

A grapple machine!!!!

If people got lots of exercise, physical and emotional/ mental health/ addiction problems would plummet, along with drug company profits.

Go crazy and add good diet and hydration and the drug company's profits would drop more.



Teen mental health is a real problem. If they had to power they're own lives with a human- powered electrical generator, things would look a lot better.

Haven’t read the thread but my exercise is walking the dog.

As it goes I was very fit as a young man, played amateur football, cycling etc.

These days gentle but consistent fast walking with a fox terrier is enough (On top of the job itself of course)

 

[pete mctree]

I started exercising again in feb to rehab a rotator cuff injury. It has been a lifestyle change for the better. I have always stretched and eat a good diet, I just needed to get fitter to increase my physical resilience

The best thing by far was the discovery of kettlebells - it has taken a good bit of effort to learn but it has paid in dividends.

 

[cory]

my exercise is walking the dog.

Killing 2 birds with one stone. Afaik, walking is basically the single best overall exercise.

Pete, kettle bells rock. I recently got a steel mace, still getting used to it but I really like it for just a quick general loosening up, circular swings on both sides.

Do you ever do any backward walking?

Seems like it's good.

Dragging brush backwards in clear- footing areas is sometimes my way, when it's not a machine's job to forward brush.

 

[Ryan]

Backwards dragging is a great workout. There was a younger fellow jogging exclusively backwards in my area this fall. Not once did I see him run forward.

 

[Dave Shepard]

Running the sawmill is probably 40% walking backwards, which had been discussed here. I had never noticed it previous to that discussion, but a lot of my aches and pains were lessened when running the mill.

 

[cory]

@Mick how is igor?

See, puttin that much money in a hole and hoping not to fug it all up, just ruins it for me.
