I wish I could do stuff like this and have it have any effect. I ran 3.5 miles this morning and went to yoga for an hour and I have to consider this a non-workout day.
lol.
i know the feeling. i came dangerously close to throwing up/dying in kickboxing last night. our instructor was on some kind of mission last night. i really thought "this is how it happens - this is how you hear of healthy young people dying of heart attacks."

I think our school track coach was in the field house watching me every so often to make sure I hadn't dropped dead in turn 2.

This is a great thread. Just got back on the band wagon after realizing I had gained 20 pounds...yikes. All of this is accompanied by a 1800 calorie diet. If you're exercising a lot, it makes no sense to cut something specific (ie carbs) but to put a restrictive amount on everything. Anywho:

10 minutes of Jump Rope (cooldown)

i've just lost 5 and a half pounds this week (well since monday)
yeah i realise its 103% water but i'm combining this with some sit-ups and crunches from now on...
i could do with a simple weekly fitness routine ... anyone know a good site or something?
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

Well, I am training for a trail marathon in March and a 1/2 Iron distance tri in June so I am trying to do it all!!
I am running about 30 miles per week, cycling (on the trainer - too cold outside for me to ride) 3 days per week 50-80 minutes per session, and swimming 3-4 days per week at least 1000 yards per session. I MUST get back to some strength training. I guess I can start today. I am supposed to run a 20 miler, but it is 22 degrees outside - too cold for me. I am trying to make myself go to the gym and get on the treadmill and elliptical machine, but instead I am sitting on the couch posting what I SHOULD be doing when I SHOULD be doing it.
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way it treats its animals. Ghandi
I walk a lot, more than average. And I walk fast. I do this daily.
I cycling 40 min daily.
I go running every other day (if my knee allows it)
Swimming once or twice a week
And then the usual sit-ups, crunches, push-ups...
Then I try to do some gymnastics excercises, mostly for strength, although lately I've not been able to do them (and the push-ups) because of an injury.
And this isn't a fixed plan either, sometimes I don't feel like running or swimming or like doing sit-ups, then I don't do them.
believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all!
I'm so frustrated, I still feel like I'm not working out enough. my job is really hurting my fitness. it's so frustrating because all I want in the world is to be fit again. but I get home from work at 11pm, and then I can't get up to work out in the morning :(.
I was on the weight kick for quite some time. I had lost quite a bit of weight in 2006 (almost 23lbs), mostly due to stress. I had a great fitness routine of weights and cardio. I moved and went to a new gym Sept 2006. And I hated the gym. Too busy, way too busy. So I fell off the wagon for weights and I steadily increased in weight (too much!).
I'm back on track with eating healthy and allowing for treats. I started at a new gym and so that I don't over-do it, I'm going 3-4 mornings a week and using the elliptical for 30+ minutes, stretch and abs. The only downfall of this new gym is no stair-steppers or stair masters (those are my favorite, they kick ass!). Once February comes along, I'll start with weights again. As spring approaches, I'll also start riding again (which I miss sooooooooooo much right now!)
