First workout after a cheat weekend for my birthday. Rough, but felt great!0

I was looking at joining a gym with a pool. Maybe it's easier to swim at 6am if it's warm out?
I can only afford one around here so I have to go check it out. If it's nasty I'll pass thanks!
I looked at the YM and it's freaking expensive!!!Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!0 -
3 miles in segments. I didn't push myself as much today, but I'm happy with my overall progress.There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous

I've seen you post that you work in the medical field in another thread. You should check with gyms to see about discounts for doctor/hospital employees. We get a pretty decent discount with our gym because of my wife working as an rn at a hospital.Sprunkn7 said:I was looking at joining a gym with a pool.

My back hurt from running. I increased the resistance, and I guess I worked my lower back more. As noted earlier it could be the shoes, but I do see a direct link between my increasing resistance and back pain. It reminds me of volleyball in high school. The first day after the first practice hurt hurt hurt, but with more playing it hurt less. I'm going to take today off, though. Back to it tomorrow.There is no such thing as leftover pizza.

I re-started P90x3, Total Synergistics. held back a bit since now that I'm done with PT, I need to ease back into it. She said I can go back to working out, but just 'no weekend warrior activities' since my shoulder is still healing.
I still made a protein smoothie, and won't add in any extra food, I will just stick to my regular calories.The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

My guess is trying to do too much too quickly. If I don't ease in increases in speed, distances, etc, I generally will start to develop shin splints or, like you described, a pain in my lower back.Ms. Haiku said:My back hurt from running.

I try to incorporate increases a quarter of a mile per mile at a time. Start at speed x for 3/4 of a mile then increase to y for the last 1/4 mile. Drop back down to start speed for mile 2 and repeat. When you're ready, the next progression would be half miles, then 3/4 mile, then finally the whole mile at the increased speed. I'm not the most eloquent with my words, so I hope that makes sense. It takes longer to get those increases in, but it sure beats hurting.0 -
Good luck. I know a couple of people that have had good results with the p90x series.RKCNDY said:I re-started P90x3, Total Synergistics. held back a bit since now that I'm done with PT, I need to ease back into it.

Hope your shoulder heals up well.0 -

Good idea, markymark550There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous

My back hurt yesterday so I didn't run, and it is still hurting/nagging me today. I'm not at the point when I run daily, but I still feel like I am missing something. Hopefully it will feel better soon.
How long would you wait? Would you just run through the pain to loosen your muscles?There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous

I would be careful about running through pain, depending on what is hurting. Don't want to risk aggravating it further and causing it to be more serious.
I'd be more apt to push through the pain if it's muscular. Try massage or heat packs to see if that helps. If it's joint/bone/spine pain, I would wait until it feels better to get back to it.0 -
Also, try to do some back exercises to help strengthen it. That should help as well. If you don't belong to a gym, google "no equipment back exercises" to get an idea of things you can do.0

Good to see y'all still grinding it out.
RK,you lovely klutzy woman you.:) glad to see you back on the P 90x and getting healthy.please try not to fall into the tv or stumble into a bookshelf.sheesh
Nice results Mark.Way to go.5k should keep you motivated
Haiku,look into a foam roller for the back and It bands after a leg workout.
For protein I like the Syntha -6 isolate(whey and Casien) in strawberry. But in a pinch Chocalate milk or yogurt works great.Super important to have a carb in the after workout drink for glucose uptake(think delivery system for the protein.
DK,get out of here you lazy unhealthy douche.Dont you have some snow to shovel or something.
Jose,good on you getting it moving.So glad our local senior citzens also like to stay healthy,lol.

I haven't run in a month.
I put a few pounds on but I'm still 35lbs down, I am planning to get back on track starting tomorrow, fingers crossed lol
As I sit here typing this with a mocha frappe in hand, I think I will need a kick in the ass, let's hope I can get it done myself.Post edited by rgambs onMonkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -
Um...can rocking out hardcore at a concert for 3 hours straight replace my regular workout?The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
