    In warmer weather I do (I run - everything else bores me so I go with what I know I'll do consistantly), but I have slacked on the cardio since summer 2006.

    I do circuits/minimal rest period during lifting, so I get some cardio in while lifting through that. My heart rate is up during much of it. It's not enough to replace a great cardio workout like running, though.

    When it warms, I'll take the dog running and get the cardio piece I'm missing. I'm good on the lifting and decent on the diet.....on that alone, I'm down to 167lbs, and I'm 6' tall.

    dude what? i weighed 167 at the start of 7th grade! :eek: I'm also about 6 foot...maybe 5 11'. i won't even post my current weight, but grab a couple 45 lb plates and get on the scale and we'll start talking. :D

    I gotta get some weights in before running. only way i can do it.
    I love to turn you on

    ummm, yeah it is. we do drills in the middle of kickboxing and after three minutes of jumping rope my heart is pounding out of my chest.

    I did three, five minute stretches with a 60 second break between them.
    Yea it was tough.

    Oh yea, I forgot. I hit the double end bag for only two rounds today also.
    That is a good workout

    I hate jumping rope :mad:

    The worst was jumping over soccer balls in practice. Nothing worse then getting tired and landing on the ball with cleats on :eek: It's a quick way to land right on your ass :D

    Man, I'm so not inspired to run. I didn't run last week because I was at a conference, and I'm in a rut. I'll get out, but I'm in it for a while.

    I think that's considered to be better for you anyway. I can't imagine going running and then lifting right after.

    I haven't worked out all week! (other crap has gotten in the way!) I FEEL DISGUSTING. I'm hoping to get out of here for a couple hours this afternoon maybe...

    I'm just usually too tired after lifting to run, especially after lower body. I used to lift first, but I would never run after, all I could do was 30 minutes on the elliptical.

    fanch do you lift before running/aerobic or lift after?
    Yeah, don't run then lift right after unless you have a quick meal in between. One of the worst things you can do is lift while glycogen-depleted. Do that for 3 weeks or so, and you'll probably see muscle loss. But do it the other way around (lift then run), and you'll see fat loss.

    I knew there was a reason, but just didn't know what it was. Thanks dude!

    And, this is all convenient because lifting after running would be disasterous, pride-wise. :)

    The New Years Resolution have all fallen off by now and we have snow on the ground today, so the gym will be empty today. Anyone who goes today is a warrior!!

    I have not been motivated either. I blame it on the weather. We have had so few days of sunshine this month and it gets to me. I have S.A.D. (season affect disorder) - self diagnosed. I have been running, but have not done the distance I need to do. The weather is supposed to warm up this weekend which will help. Maybe we will get a little sunshine too.

    Jumping rope, now we're talking my language..and please stop referring to it as 'skipping rope,' thanks. People usually get intimitated, frustrated and bored with jumping rope and thus don't practice enough to significantly increase stamina. But really if you can run for 30 minutes/3 miles you shouldn't have a problem jumping rope continuously..

    People make the mistake of jumping way too high and swinging their arms all about. It's important to jump only high enough to clear the rope while keeping your arms low, swinging the rope primarily with your wrists. I also do it barefoot to further minimize impact on knees and to build/maintain strong bone structure. Also, don't jump rope on concrete because it will eventually fuck you up big time..

    So, on what type of surface do you jump?

    all of this sounds great, but seriously, how do you guys manage to run after lifting? my legs just like buckle under, and I'm usually starving by that point. After lifting for an hour or so, not only do I not have the strength in my legs to run, but I'm just too tired/hungry.
