oh stretching is nice...i do it after i workout and have started doing a bit of stretching when i wake up in the morning.

as for form, i'm pretty anal about making sure i do everything right hence the reason i'm all about the mirrors at the gym. yes i'm that person...i look at myself in multiple angles but only when i'm doing something.

brian, yeah let me know. sometimes i go to the gym with yankeebaby but we go our separate ways once we are inside the door.

anyhow today i've got lower body so it's gonna be "fun"

Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut. To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

I need a new routine ASAP. Mine is getting soo repetitive that I am actually working out a little MORE now and have lost LESS weight.

sheesh. I feel like I have one of those body types where you have to be anorexic and work out 6 days a week to lose a single pound. my diet is awesome and I consistently work out 3 days a week.....and cant lose weight for SHIT.

u need to up your game to be honest. you might be the type of person who needs more than others to lose weight. 3 days a week is enough for maintaining, but not for seeing dramatic results any time soon. you should go at least 4 days a week and be drenched in sweat when you leave the gym.

yup, I am that type. I have used a trainer to switch my routine up a few times.

I def am not unrealistic....I dont expect to see *dramatic* results with 3 days a week, but I want to have SOME change over time. (ie: I have been back to working out consistently since october and have only lost 7-10 lbs, which, btw, keeps fluctuating....)

More importantly I need something to focus on. Since I have been back to the gym, I havent really been keeping track/scheduling/writing stuff down/etc....) I have been kinda just going and doing the opposite of what I did the day before. lol I know, I know, thats where I suck ...... but I only know so many exercises, and thus its getting repetitive and simple for me. I need something more complex and different.

What Slylee said. Workout more. Also change up your routine. I assume you do low-intensity cardio already?

yeah I know I have to do a little more, but realistically I dont think I have the TIME/energy. (I work interesting hours to say the least). I DO have more time in the summers tho, so I am trying to step it up a little. I have been working out 3-4 times a week now instead of my usual 3.

My cardio is pretty good, I do 45 minutes everytime I go to the gym and do intervals, hills, higher resistence, and high intensity. I def DONT slack when it somes to cardio.......I am not one of those people that reads and watches TV and pedals 2 mph...... I get my times worth.

**However**, I prefer to stick to rowing, biking, and elliptical (my fav), (and that other elliptical looking-machine that looks like you are skating?? chimera wtf is that thing CALLLED??? )because running hurts my bewbs like crazzzy

wuuaat wuuaat grunt - for some reason that has sex written all over it..


sal -- I can do GC on the weekends, week days I'm locked into my routine and become the ultimate homebody like no one else's business.

yankee/chimera - sure don't mind working both of you out but then again, it sounds like you two both got your routine down.

As for low impact dramatic weight loss cardio, I'd suggest elliptical for a month 4x week 20-30mins each time. It will give you good results if you monitor your diet properly.

Nutritional Intake - try starting with a Zone Diet (fistful of food) 4-5x per day. Cut the white carbs out, up the brown rice/wheat breads, cut out the sodas/juices/alcohol and get 1-2liters of water per day. Do that for a month with the low impact cardio and you'll cut a good 15lbs pretty quickly (probably 10 in the first 2 weeks).

i hate cardio. i only do my obligatory 15 min warmup on the exercise bike and that's about all i can tolerate for now until my heart is in better shape.

for now it's just warmups to get my blood flowing and then weight training. after a month or 2, i think i'll venture into the spin classes once a week. ughh, i can just see myself falling off the bike and dying in there lol
