you get tired from driving?
I'm not surprised. You have to focus on staying in your lane (seems n00bish but what if you're on a really windy, narrow, curvy road?), you have to focus on what's behind you and in front and on the sides, and what about shit pedestrians and drivers?

EDIT: Back onto topic. Today I walked the usual Redfern to uni, then I walked from pharm building to Broadway (also no biggie), but then I walked from Broadway to Grandstand which anyone familiar with the uni would know is a massive distance to cover. Also yesterday, I did a big triangle--pharmacy to Broadway, Broadway to SciTech library, SciTech library to pharmacy.

30 mins of skipping, I suck at it atm but plan to get good. Need to do some form of cardio but I can't stand jogging or running on a tread mill.

^^lol. I walked the back way from my house through the national park to the bus stop, so that was a good kilometre. Then I walked from Eastwood station to Ryde Hospital, so that was another kilometre or so. And repeat. So I walked about 4km today. Not bad.

Decided to give this workout a try today, went too heavy on the first 2 sets of most exercises and felt like I was going to die by the time i got to deadlifts....



Do a lite warm up with 1/4 of your work sets weight. Do a medium warm up with 1/2 of your work sets weight. Do 2 work sets with the same weight. Choose a starting weight and start light.

These are the seven exercises you will be starting with.

Squats
Bench Presses
Bent-Over Rows
Overhead Barbell Presses
Stiff-Legged Deadlifts
Barbell Curls
Calf Raises

You will be running this program on a five week cycle as follows:
The first week do all 4 sets for 8 reps.
The second week do all 4 sets for 9 reps.
The third week do all 4 sets for 10 reps.
The fourth week do all 4 sets for 11 reps.
The fifth week do all 4 sets for 12 reps.
If you got all of the required reps on the fifth week then increase the weight by 10% and

repeat the cycle. If you didn't get all of the reps on the fifth week then repeat the cycle with the same weight. You shouldn't need more than one minute rest between the warm up sets and you shouldn't need more than one minute thirty seconds between the work sets.
Do some cardio and abs work on non weight training days.

Instead of my normal Thursday session the squad had time trails, 300m and 150m with 30 minute rest between.

Not much. A short stroll between platforms at Central, a 10 minute walk from Katoomba station to Blue Mountains Hospital, a 5 minute stroll through Katoomba shops.

It's posted as a 'simple beginners routine' on the workout forums at bb.com, it's just too much though... He does mention later on that you should do a light day that is 10% lighter on all lifts.

Having my formal before the HSC, I feel compelled to do all this exercise.
I went for a swim, and then shot some hoops at the park.

Ha, yesterday I went to the gym and squatted and benched. I don't think my hamstrings will ever function correctly again, I got the most ridiculous muscle soreness. At least I know my hamstrings are working as prime movers I guess...
