did you stretch after your workout? also keep up the good work

The workout has stretches throughout it and also at the end.

And thank you! I'm REALLY enjoying my exercising so far and having this forum is helping a lot.

On Saturday I was hungover and didn't do anything. On Sunday I sat there for nearly 2 hours saying "It's the weekend -- I don't need to exercise" then finally thought "no, I want to tell DonJon that I did something on the weekend" so pulled my finger out and exercised and now I am soooo glad I did!

Wait till you start holding them for 2-3 mins a go

Its a good sign that you are getting a buzz/kick from it too

It looks like the girl in white does A LOT more upper body work with WEIGHTS, as opposed to the other girl who has a more slender appearance. The girl in white obviously implements a strength training routine that involves working her biceps, tri's, shoulders, and chest. This is why she appears a lot more muscular than the girl in black.

Not to mention, diet/calories have a lot to do with it as well. She probably takes in a larger amount of calories than the smaller girl in black. I wouldn't worry too much as far as getting too bulky as long as you are doing your cardio and not lifting to heavy

Thanks for explaining it to me! I might stay away from weights in general......I'm scared! :shock:

Okay, I have a question for all you wise people here. How do I look more like the first chick in the black top and less like the chick in the white top?

Earlier this year, my sisters started walking up this big hill and they both bulked up quite quickly and started to look like little muscle builders (we're all about 5'1). I do not want to look muscley -- I want to look lean, defined and fit. Would the chick in the white top be doing a lot more weights do you think?

Basically, what adds the bulk? Because I don't want bulk.

Easy explanation, the one in the white has balls ..and if not, she probably has done a cycle or two of roids and of course trains with heavy weights and downs like 57 protein shakes per day..

Anyway, I ate and drank like I was back in college again Friday, Saturday and Sunday..Jesus, I hate Mondays..

60-120 minutes 5 times a week of

Road cycling

Swimming laps

or

Running.

love it.

I didn't do any walking/jogging yesterday.....and I feel bad.....will have to make up for it this afternoon

I'm wearing a skirt today I haven't worn in 6 months or so because it got too tight.....pulled it out this morning and it's not tight anymore and is also sitting waaay down on my hips and will definitely need to be taken in once I tone up more --- oh yeah!

This has now become my favourite thread

DONT SPAM IT THEN!! This thread is sacred to me

There is no way you have dropped a dress size already after 4 days

Are you having a day off there Ziggy? Take tomorrow off...doctors orders

I'm not spamming it............am I? I'm staying totally on topic. :x Aren't we allowed to ask questions? :roll:

No you dick .....I've lost a dress size over the last 6-8 weeks from eating really healthy and drinking less. I've only just started the exercising part this week.

I had Saturday off -- I was hungover. So no need for a day off.

Cycled three days in a row - Sat, Sun, Mon. Quads were sore last night. Total mileage for the three days was only 95 miles though. Seems like more than that - some of it was hilly.

I did an openwater swim in a lake filled with green gunk yesterday morning. Won't do that again. I hope I don't get that brain eating bacteria.

I bought the Garmin 310XT GPS/Heart rate monitor - the first waterproof Garmin made for triathletes. I am still trying to figure it out - lots of controls. I swam with it yesterday morning and it said I swam 1.27 miles. I'm not sure about that. I don't think I swam that far. I'm just wondering if it also counts the hand moving back during the stroke. I will have to look at the manual (only 56 pages long - and that is 8.5in. x 11in. pages).

Stress fracture seems to be healing - just slowly. I can pretty much walk without pain now. Still haven't tried running.

Did 60 minute run this morning, 7 miles.

Felt good, being home after 3 days on the road and not in the best locations for running.

Hoping to squeeze in 15-30 minutes at the pool today. It's a bit cool, so my young boys might not be up for swimming today.

School starts in 1 week, so this will give me some alone time at an indoor pool. Looking forward to it.

Triathlon is 13 days away.

What triathlon?

What distance?
