yup i just hope i have a doorway it fits on....lol

It goes on any standard door, dude. What kind of weirdo house are you moving into???

changed up my upper body exercises today. used the wave machine for the first time in months and its a great little machine to do some warm up cardio.

question, is there anyone who used to abhor running and now like it? i want to add a jog in my routine to mix things up a bit but i hate running and avoid it like the plague BUT i know if i did it at least a little i'll slim down a bit which is the goal.

Originally posted by jennypie Not to brag or anything...but man my body responds so well to exercise. It really doesn't take much for me to see results. Yay me!

well that's because you have low body fat for one and any muscle you gain is going to be visible much faster than someone with a higher body fat.

a great way i used to work in running into my workout was to stop every 1/4 mile and do like 25 pushups and 25 situps. if you did 1 mile, that would be 100 of each total. not like a super hard workout or anything; but it definitely broke up the monotonous running.

now it totally depends on my mood - i've found that if i run in circles on a small track or on a treadmill, i feel like i can go farther than running on a long straightaway path or cross country crap.

i still don't like doing more than a 5k, really. 1-2 miles is the best for me.

Originally posted by DJ_Eternal Was than an all-out cardio peak or just a fat-burn jog? Grats though, I can barely run for more than 3 miles nowadays without getting bored. In other news, just done my 3rd workout of the week. If you were looking to tone but not bulk-up a great deal, would you recommend doing a daily fat-burn jog of around 25 minutes or is that too much?

I usually run four to five miles two to three times a week. Today I did cardo (bike) for 35 min.

Upper body workout, Chest, Shoulder, Back, Some lower back and tons of crunches.

Tomorrrow i'll run four miles on the treadmill (winter is no good for outdoor activities). i'll probably do biceps (arms.) too

feel great

my issue is i talk myself out of it. i never really feel like i'm in a groove and sometimes i feel like i cause injuries with bad technique or something. i have no problems running if its part of a sport but when that's the main thing i mentally shutdown which gets me to all of 5min

how ironic a kenyan who not only can't run long distances but can't do short ones either. i fail.

yeah, what i do is that i slow down every five to six minutes, but i usually just try to keep my hearbeat going. that's the important thing, that your heartrate is pumped and your body is burning fat.

my legs and knees hurt, for days after a jogging session but it's normal as long as its bearable. eventhough some physicians say that pain is a sign that muscles haven't recovered from exercise. which means that you should put your body to rest for longer periods. something i seldom do.

Yeah I guess that has to be it. But you mean low in comparison to like a great big fatty, right? Cause I definitely have a good amount of fat for someone my size. Hence changing my diet.

yeah i guess i'll work on breaking it up by splitting a run up with either going slower or other exercises but the knee problems aren't something i like to hear. my legs are pretty strong as is right now so that might help lessen my chances of injury. i'll try tomorrow for 20min and see how that goes.

no from the random photos you have of yourself on ta you don't look like one of those "finny" people (people who look skinny but they are all flab and no muscle). so low in comparison to a number of people i would put myself in that category. i get the results with regards to muscle and strength but there is this damn fat covering my muscles. i'm 134 which isn't big but given my diet and exercise i really should weight something like 125.

Ahhhh yeah. Yeah I'm definitely not like that at all. What I meant to say is, I have about an inch or two of fat covering up all the good stuff. Needs to go bye bye!

I weigh 126 right now and I'm 5'3". Which makes my BMI 22.3....which is still totally within my healthy range. But I don't like fat hanging over the top my jeans.

i'm with you about that annoying last bit of fat. at 5'6" my bmi is 21.6 which is good but i want to have awesome abs just because i know its a hard to achieve (for my body at least).

It might be genetic? I don't think anything bad is going to happen.
Speaking of which, I should go to bed now so I can wake up early and run. It's better to exercise in the morning.

That's the best part of running to me Especially those longer weekend runs, after a while (to me, an hour or so) you don't even feel you're running anymore. That feeling doesn't last forever though

Anyone know of any sites where you can download routine work outs? Sorta like a trainer but on paper and you jot down the sets and weights as you do them...

Please don't start posting BMI as its some sort of fact that dictates a level of healthiness. It's a useless number that tells absolutely nothing. I'm 6'2, 200 lbs, and according to the calculator 25.7 or overweight. Overweight? Not a chance. Hell, I'm trying to get up to 210 lbs at least before spring training camp.

This number does not take into account that I played a college sport, am wide in the shoulders, still can see four of my six abs, or anything else. I'm in the gym 5-6 days a week, on top of skating 4 days a week. If you were to grab another person in the gym that fit into the "healthy" range, more than likely I could either out lift or out run them.

Every single professional athlete would fall into the unhealthy category (with a few exceptions).

Healthy is an individual feeling not some random stupid number. Each person has a different body structure, goals, etc. If you are really looking for a number that dictates some degree of healthiness look at body composition (% body fat).

Yup troof that! My BMI hovers between 23-24, but I'm only 8-11% body fat. BMI fails to take into account muscle mass.
