Hello everyone! Thought I would start a thread for working out,exercise,nutrition,etc. If you talk to me for more than 5 minutes you will know I am a cycling crackhead and I love to do triathlons and long distance bike rides! Everyone come on in and tell us what you enjoy doing to stay in shape,what you would like to do to get in shape,and just hang out and shoot the breeze!! Shad

Hey, thanks papa...
fortunately, muscles have a memory as you know. I'll start seeing some gains in 4-5 weeks I expect. And yes, circuit training will kick your ass. lol |

So this whole weekend was dedicated to mountain biking. I went up to my bro SnackTime's neck of the woods yesterday and we rode some of the trail system there that neither of us have been on before! It was a HOOT!!! We had a blast and I found one rock shelf dropoff that I didn't try,but it has me intrigued and I will try it the next time. Today I stayed close to home and rode a 10.2 mile trail we have at the state park here; narrow,leafy,twisty,hilly singletrack with several big bombing downhills followed by gut busting climbs. I managed to ride the entire trail and only crashed 5 times and bled twice!

Howdy fellow work outersss
![]() I love to be physical and I try to run at least 2-3 times a week. Now that it is getting cooler I am hoping to find my stride once again. For motivation a friend and I registered for the Grandma's Marathon in Minnesota, June 2010. Otherwise, I am a Vinyasa Yoga enthusiast and I also love to hike, explore, mountain bike, play sports (shut it, JAGG) and do anything that involves water. Basically...being physical = very happy Nove ![]() |

Last year, I ran as part of my cardio. Now, my knees are weak and shot....at least it feels that way. But since I've started slowing on leg exercises, I'm able to strengthen my knees again.

Waves to everybody! Jet when I pulled a hamstring a while back my doc told me that once it was well to work on strengthening my knees,work my hammies.Hope that helps a bit. Hi nove!! Why does Jagg need to "shut it" about sports??Monday was a long swim workout,3400 yds,then my mama's workout of cutting,trimming and dragging away small trees in her yard.

Good Evening Shad,
Thank you for starting this thread! I love to Power walk, even though I have a gym membership, I prefer to walk outside. Especially now that the weather is starting to cool down here in Florida. What I like to eat is for breakfast, vanilla yogurt with organic granola, pecans and cranberries with chocolate SoyMilk. For a snack, I usually have a Odwalla bar<Banana Nut> and I drink plenty of water. For lunch, I have a fresh salad or sandwich with just mustard. For dinner I normally have chicken with brown rice and plenty of veggies. I do eat my chocolate<dark 85% or higher> and vanilla ice cream as a treat. As a result of everything, I lost 60lbs two years ago and I feel a lot better! Have a good night, Zimmy

Thank you SnackTime! My family and friends cannot believe I did it....

I have a history of working out and then abandoning my program, whether it was successful or not. Being an 'all or nothing' kind of person, if I didn't give my all, it was easy for me to justify giving it up.
I'm a little older now and presumably wiser and realize that every step in the right direction counts and to try not to be so hard on myself. I'm in a bit of a lax period now but know that I will pick my program back up in short time. My highest weight was 180. On a 5'1 1/2" frame, that is a lot to drag around. Many factors contributed to me reaching that weight but it basically boiled down to me not being happy. Now, I am happy with my life. So, when I gain 5-10 pounds due to changes in medicine or food intake or lifestyle changes, I am less critical of myself. Now, I'm about 143, give or take. I'd like to eventually make my way back down to 125-128 but won't throw a hissy fit if it doesn't happen. 135 felt pretty good, so I'd be happy with that if I plateaued there again. For me, it's more about the mental process than the physical one. But there are some days, after I've gone 5-6 miles on the elliptical, that I feel absolutely invincible and I love that feeling. ![]() |

Good Afternoon Shad,
Thank you! Now that it is cooler here, I can do more exercising. Trying to exercise in 100 degree heat is horrible and I don't like going out at after dark gets hard to find time to do it. Jet, I am going to take your tip and see if that works for me. How is the cycling going? Have a good Saturday, Zimmy I find it harder during the holidays to not eat sweets. I usually just eat what I can and if I want some sweets, I eat a little bit of it. Quote:

Me and my younger sister are both naturally skinny, and unfortunately [yes, i want to GAIN weight] everything I eat doesn't stink. I don't know where it goes. According to Marine Corps standards I am 4 pounds from being underweight. It is mandatory for us to workout as a unit 3 times a week. That's all I do. It keeps me toned and that's all I need. I don't want to work out on my own unless its some crazy workout that will give me a few pounds. I'm 5'8" and 128lbs.

![]() There are some good articles on www.bodybuilding.com as far as ectomorph training/diet. Doesn't mean you have to become a bodybuilding, lol, but they definitely do have some good advice on defeating certain predispositions. Good luck! |
