January Sharkathon 2015
December 31, 2014, 10:48:48 am
Enjoy tonight redemption is at hand - January Sharkathon starts tomorrow.

Aim is to complete 30 minutes of exercise every day in January.

Any exercise counts from fingerboarding to yoga - even stretching, at a stretch.

Opening the quality street tin is pretty hard. Does that count as a stretch or exercise?

Shaking cocktails? I'll make sure I use both arms to avoid any imbalance.

does watching yoga workout videos count?

I'll use both hands if that makes a difference

Sounds like that's definitely a stretch right there Lagers. +1 Sharkathon point.

I'm concerned that North Korea might launch a cyber stike against UKB in the new year and all Sharkathon data will be lost - so there's not much point in starting it

No chance. N.Korean dictators are too easy for the collective ukb ire. Bono and his hat are far more likely candidates. I heard that the hat was behind a DoS attack on the Stockport hat museum website last year that caused a 16 hour shut down of their servers. This tragically affected 3 people who were playing their fps game 'caps of duty' and 'grand theft beret 3'...

Seeing as it's turned out that the Sony hack was probably an inside job and nothing to do with Kim Jong Fat, should we be concerned about such practices on UKB and can we trust the insect overlords? #questiontime #bollocks

Yesterday I moved my BM to just outside the kitchen, so today I'll be doing lots of random bits 'n' pieces on it while cooking for 10. Pull-ups are tough with the 3kg weight belt I got for christmas.

Great general way to improve well being / get fitter / be able to train in a less injury prone and more effective manner.

Very very much recommend this sort of base fitness ideology...

Fwiw....

My elderly based fitness / week of exercise if not injured at this time of year... ( and more focused on bouldering than bikes or anything else) is

As you say... 30 mins a day... Or so..

- I get up at 6. I do either 30 mns basic yoga or dynamic core every morn... Sometimes I Add in a plank type MTB course exercise ( copy the course on POV on iPad whilst planking) as well... 5 mins sim down whislter mountain sort of thing. - then. Add in side planks, full set of sun salutations...

Every other 2  days,  the board. Short set. Just 12 problems. Done. Leave it.

The every other  other day... Free weights, 8 to 12 reps, one set each exercise. About 20 of... All upper body. Too complex to list. But you never do the same number of reps for each exercise, either more reps.. Or you go up some weight... A very little weight though... To keep power to weight ratio.

I Should be running a bit more. Sore knee healing.. Once it does it's then 3 to 5 km twice a week and 45 mins of BMX tracks on my Mtb, Doing one lap per minute for 45 mins.. On average. Queue vomit...

Again, this my personal regieme, for low bouldering goals... Low font 7s... No routes... Tough mudder type and grade obstacle natioanl courses in 90 mins ( 10 km)  and the power to hold on on DH MTB courses of alpine length...

Thought it may be useful to share...

 It's currently very effective... Been on it 9 months...

Today I managed 8-10 reps of crawling to the bathroom, followed by core work (retching repeatedly) at the toilet bowl.

Today I ran 4.3 km, after which I cracked out the old fingerboard and weights for the first time in ages.
A slight more than half an hour, but far more than usual.
