well that's a little low, but maxing out is unnecessary. Instead of 5 pounds, 10 would be better.
I can curl alot more weight than 20 lbs, but every once in a while i'll drop down and do failure reps. Not only does it burn intensely, but putting up those last few reps are harder than putting curling 60 lbs just a few times. |
i do as much as i possibly can because it makes me feel like i've accomplished something...and when I say as much as I can I aim for 8-12 reps anything lower than that is just too much weight. |

Kelly, it sounds like you have a good start in terms of motivation going - which is probably the most important thing in terms of having the energy and determination to stick it out until you get results, to maintain results once you get them, and to go beyond your results into territories you've never been before... that is SO IMPORTANT, so congratulations ;) Try to work up even more motivation, it's super important.
A good thing that I always keep in mind is to FORCE yourself to go to the gym when you planned you would even when you don't want to, because once you get there, you'll be glad you did. Push through bad moods and bad days, set it as your goal that you want to prove to yourself that you are strong enough and have will power. It's such a great confidence boost and energy rush.
Setting short-term goals, like, I want to be able to run a mile without stoppping within a month, is really useful.
Good luck!!! :D |
Thanks :) You nailed it, my prob is actually GOING to the gym, because I really enjoy working out. Its hard because I work late and dotn tend to go to bed til 2:30 am and waking up at 8 (which gives me just enough time to workout before work) is tough with my sleeping schedule. haha I would be so much more in shape if I didnt have an hour + commute ;)
Direct: LOL I dont think you saw my post where I said "I can committ 2-3 days a week to the gym at 1.5 each session" lol!!
magikb: whatever you are doing is workin because you are lookin sexAY!!! :) :)
Brian: next time I see you I am gonna bitch slap you. You havent worked out in a year and you are hard as a rock? pfft. some people have all the luck. ;) :) :) |

I joined the gym a couple months ago too Kelly. I was going religiously every day on my hour lunch (since I got the pup I need to work it into my morning schedule starting this week)
The gym is right beside my work, which got me motivated to get it done over the lunch hour and I felt so much better about it too.
I started eating healthy throughout the week, packed my lunch always so that I didn't have the urge to go get anything I shouldn't have.
At the gym I do 20-30 min cardio (running on treadmill), then every other day would switch which part of my body I work on. Usually Monday and Wednesday would be legs, lower body and Tues & Thurs arms, upper body, my abs I would work more than that.
I can't wait to get myself back into the habit of it. I just need to work it around my schedule of the dog and my 10 hour shifts at work. The hard part for me will be getting up at 615am every morning now so I can worry about my dog, get my stuff together, gym, shower then to work.. hahaha |
you got a dog? pics plz.... and you live in new york now? :wtf: |

Ive been training for ½ my life with free weights and just recently switched to yoga. The results have been very good so far. I suggest yoga over a regular gym. But if your the type who is looking for some motivation then a gym is deffinitly the place for you.
Yoga shapes the muscles in a different way then free weights.
also cut out and artificial flavoring / natural flavoring. Get natural sources of caffine (teas). Sweets are fine as long as you keep the down and in moderation. I eat dark natural chocolate every day and have a slice of regular. What keep my weight in check is running before breakfast and the yoga. |

if your advice is for girls, i agree, free weights isn't the way to stay slim. |

Direct, I think most of us don't know what these things you posted even are. It's useless to spend time posting something like this for us with no explanation of what it is or how you do it, should you start slow or just do the whole thing from the start, what the purpose and strategy behind this routine is, etc. :conf:
On another note, if anyone has advice for a (re)beginning runner, please share. Especially looking for sneaker recommendations. I run 5k three times a week, looking to up it over the next 2 months. |
