The Do You Work Out Zone - Page 12

pajama · 08-27-2010, 06:26 AM

I just want to say what a HUGE difference working out has made. I don't do much yet, as I've mentioned earlier, 'cause I was soooooo out of shape. But even what I have been doing made a very noticeable difference in my stamina at the Reunion last weekend. I'm sure I would not have been able to dance, walk, stay up late, or other things the way I did if I hadn't been working out some already.

So just a pep talk to anyone thinking of starting, or thinking you're too far out of shape for it to matter. It DOES make a difference, even if you start small.

Keep up the good work everybody.

Tomorrow I got a gig helping a friend move gravel with wheelbarrows and shovels,which is a full body functional strength workout alllllllllll in itself! Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend! Shad

Remember, it's not where ya stand, but the direction in which you are moving that counts!!!

That is a GREAT link CTW! Thanks! This week so far has consisted of Lower Body/Abs on Monday, a 3 mile run on Tuesday,and Upper Body/Abs and a 3 mile treadmill run on Wednesday.Tomorrow will wind up being a rest day because I got a million things to DO! I have also entered the Soldier Ride for September. It is a 25 mile bike ride in Nashville,TN to support the Wounded Warrior Project. I can't think of anything more motivational than supporting and empowering our returning service members as they continue their lives after serving our nation around the globe. Shad

Today is the first time i've really worked out in over a year. Stretches, situps, crunches and a 1 mile walk. Well, it is a beginning at least. Headin in for a bubblebath cause I know tomorrow I am gonna be one sore little girl.

I used to ride road bikes about 30 years ago...ugh, damn im old!
I was planning on getting a new bike in a few weeks, when it started getting cooler.
The Dr. that I scrub for, rides and we were talking about bikes one day. i mentioned that I was going to start looking for bike. What the hell ya know! He and my BFF went in and got me one for my Bday!! It is not the bike I would have chosen, but I really love it.

pajama · 09-01-2010, 05:00 PM

Note to self - Eat a couple of hours before workout....not 14 HOURS before the workout. No wonder I didn't have any energy last week. I was forgetting to eat. Ate about 45 mins before workout, some fruit and a protein beverage. Felt much better through the workout.

I hazzz muscle. You have to poke really hard to feel it through the fat, but it's there.
