took bodypump, which was practically the same class I used to teach at state called raise the bar

12/9/2009 3:28:27 PM

i usually hate to bring other people to the gym with me.

anyone else have this sentiment?

12/9/2009 5:57:23 PM

i love lifting with others...or doing cardio with others, really helps time fly or great for motivation, although if you're in to HIT, other people usually aren't helpful

12/9/2009 6:25:07 PM

^maybe thats it


i feel like people want to talk and thats not what im there for

[Edited on December 9, 2009 at 6:40 PM. Reason : epecially on cardio days-if i can hold on a convo, then im not working hard enough]

12/9/2009 6:39:49 PM

Did PT with the OSO today. Did Lake Johnson twice. It felt so good to freaking run again.

12/9/2009 6:41:20 PM

Amen Joie! I am willing to go with people but they need to understand I'm not there to talk!

12/9/2009 6:41:48 PM

yea, i've been doing mostly HIT since I do train alone, no time to rest, 20 deep breaths and you move on to the next set...in and out in 50 minutes

12/10/2009 10:29:49 AM

I'm gonna freaking PT again today. I love yelling at the slow assed fat bodies who can't fucking run and still think that they're gonna be able to go to training this summer if they don't improve.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH (evil laugh)

12/10/2009 10:31:51 AM

wow

that's kinda mean

12/10/2009 10:32:36 AM

It's how we motivate them to do better. We're not mean to them all the time, just during PT

12/10/2009 10:33:25 AM

12/10/2009 10:34:08 AM

I'm a nice guy...really I am...

I also plan to go lift with ThePeter at some point as well.

12/10/2009 10:44:22 AM

I'd lift with someone else, but I don't really know any of the lifters at my gym. I only do 3-4 strength exercises after cardio anyway. I need to cut fat more than I need to bulk up and I can't get to the gym often enough to split my cardio and lifting days.

When I do cardio I usually go at a pace that wouldn't allow me to talk. I just turn on the iPod and keep my HR from 155-175 for at least 30 minutes.

cutting is in your diet

lift first if you are going to lift


..........................................................................

I've only done ME Bench, ME squat, and swam in the last week.

I need to do something today, but I still feel off.

I'm jealous

12/10/2009 10:57:24 AM

40 minutes of yoga this morning.

Tonight, I'll shake my ass in Zumba class. I'm hooked on that class!

12/10/2009 10:59:14 AM

^^ I don't get paid for that. I do it for free. I will get paid for it...eventually.

^ WTF is Zumba?

[Edited on December 10, 2009 at 11:00 AM. Reason : WTF is Zumba?]

12/10/2009 10:59:42 AM

The old woman who teaches at one of the gyms I work/workout at was talking it up to me. I ended up just laughing in her face, after trying my best to be polite. She was dead serious about me doing it. She assumes that if I do yoga, i'd do any other class.

"cutting is in your diet lift first if you are going to lift"

Good diet & working out go hand in hand for me. When I'm working out a lot I eat better because I'm thinking of food as fuel.

Cutting is partially a diet thing, but I'd rather eat 2300 calories per day and burn an extra 3500 a week by working out than to eat 1800 calories a day and not do shit. And if I'm on the 1800 calorie plan I generally don't feel too hot when I work out. It's a tough balance for me.

I really don't do well if I lift first. I just run out of gas way too early when I get to the cardio. I can do a 35-60 minute session on the elliptical and/or bike, stretch/chill out for 10-15 minutes, and I still have the juice to do three or four strength exercises at 3-5 sets per exercise. The lifting is just something I do if I still have energy to burn after doing cardio. Kind of a supplement to an already good workout; plus I know it has a long lasting effect on my metabolism. I'm not expecting any serious strength gains though.

If a guy is in Zumba class, he's either gay or Hispanic. It's a latin fusion dance/workout class. It's all ass-shaking and stuff.

12/10/2009 11:06:29 AM

I've got a running joke w/ a national level powerlifter about meeting up for water aerobics. We've got a few people convinced we're for real.

[Edited on December 10, 2009 at 11:10 AM. Reason : ]

12/10/2009 11:09:43 AM

My Ironman buddies (male) are very gung-ho about yoga and Pilates ... which are somewhat gay. There's a line somewhere. I think water aerobics is just over the line. And Zumba is more in the realm of ballroom dance ... only do it if you're gay or desperate to meet chicks.

12/10/2009 11:14:12 AM

^ I'm taking Pilates and Social Dance as 2 of the 5 PE's I scheduled myself for next semester.

WHAT YOU TRYING TO SAY?

12/10/2009 11:15:37 AM

I did say it's a good way to meet hot chicks! And Pilates is on the safe side of the line. There are more men than women in my hot yoga (Bikram) classes. But that's hardcore. 90 minutes of yoga in a hot sauna. Not for wusses.

It's great for runners, since we tend to get really tight. Thanks to hot yoga, I can put my legs behind my head, which is rare for runners.

12/10/2009 11:17:02 AM

I've always wanted to try Bikram Yoga.....

12/10/2009 11:17:47 AM

Bikram is awesome. It's 90 minutes of hell, but afterward you feel soooo refreshed. You'll have longer, leaner muscles and be super bendy ... which helps you out for other sports, etc.

And one glass of wine after class will get you trashed.

12/10/2009 11:19:43 AM

Pilates is a no go for me.

However, yoga should be a class for everyone. It helps w/ my anxiety for one. But, it also has helped tremendously w/ my mobility and flexibility. The instructor who teaches, also teaches for the soccer and wrestling teams at 2 local colleges. It helps make up for my sometimes iffy dedication to stretching.


Yoga is not a gay class.

12/10/2009 11:20:56 AM

^ Have you tried Bikram? If not, try it. It will rock your world.

12/10/2009 11:21:33 AM

I haven't. I would require going to a studio, for me to be able to.

It might be a date for girl that I'm sort-of seeing. This weekend she has me talked into trying acupuncture w/ her.... (I FUCKING HATE NEEDLES (but so does she(hahaha)))

i did yogalates in college (combo of the two) and really liked it.

i like the idea of getting trashed off one glass of wine - could save me some money

12/10/2009 11:25:46 AM

We will need pics to verify this "legs behind the head"

12/10/2009 11:26:07 AM

^^^^ She sounds like a glutton for punishment. She'd LOVE Bikram. It's a little pricey, but it's worth it. Great winter workout ... you stay warm forever after the class!

^ I may pass on that.

After Bikram AND a glass of wine, you get SUPER bendy. Example:
