2026 Strength Training Accountability Thread

Those aren’t real exercises. Those are clearly campsite names from Fort Wilderness. I’m pretty sure I was in a cabin on Donkey Toes Lane last Christmas.

My sore muscles today disagree

But I'm sure some of these were made up by the book author.

I usually do lower body strength on my hard days. I will admit that it often feels pretty awful for the first few minutes, though.

This is the way.

I didn't have any equipment at my disposal today so I did an intro to mobility workout on Fitness Blender, and then two of my favorite 80's-tastic videos I have mentioned before on the boards: 8 minute abs and 8 minute buns! The Reeboks on the woman in these videos really take me back

I remember getting white Reeboks with the really soft-looking marshmallow-like leather. I must have been in 5th or 6th grade, which would have been mid-80s. It was definitely the "cool" thing to have with all the other kids. The big thing was to keep them as clean as possible so that would still be that extra-white color and not look "used". To be fair to Reebok, they must not have been outrageously expensive, because if they were, there is no way my parents would have bought them for me - we were not allowed to get clothes just because they were trendy, and definitely not over-priced clothes. (I'm thinking something like the $1000 Air Jordans.)

Good week overall. Closed out with 20 minutes of my strenght A workout yesterday and then got my 20 minutes of PT ankle mobility done today before my run. Feel like I am finally starting to trun the corner on geting past these injuries and was the first time in awhile I got all 3 planned strength (non-PT) workouts done in a week. So I would say this thrwad is working!

Great to hear it feels like you’re turning the corner! Looking forward to seeing you in the marathon next year!

And this thread is working for me too - I’ve got at least a couple of workouts I might have skipped otherwise. Nothing like peer pressure
