do yall still workout when your sick? Ive had a respiratory infection and figured this wasn't a good idea

12/13/2009 5:35:43 PM

^I wouldn't if it's respiratory related...if the symptoms are above the neck (runny nose, headache, congestion) go for it

may have to take you up on this next week! unless Quinn gets me in...would love at least a professional critique on my heavy DL form...I hope to set a PR of 405 before Xmas break

12/14/2009 10:38:48 AM

So when it comes to cardio work,

I can run 30min and burn ~500 calories


or I can do a brisk incline walk for about 45min and burn ~500 calories


which is better for me in regards to burning fat and trimming up?

treadmill :\ I need to find a good mapped out place soon though. I get very bored on the treadmill and feel like a hamster on a wheel. I ran a 5K on centennial last March but I would rather not do that course since it was kind of a bitch

12/14/2009 2:31:16 PM

^^^yeah sure you just want me to look at your ass

12/14/2009 2:31:41 PM

cool thx

12/14/2009 2:33:47 PM

^^^I'd go 30 seconds as fast as possible, 30 seconds recovery...repeat 10-15x after an initial 5min warmup...so you're done w/ cardio in 20min

looking ahead to long boring sessions of cardio really brings me down, so boring! I'd rather just burn ass and get out of there and into the sauna for an extra 10 minutes....stretch it out!

Mapmyrun.com is a good site, but I think it's a little annoying and an over-abundance of buttons.

For simplicity in mapping out your run, try http://www.gmap-pedometer.com

12/14/2009 2:48:06 PM

Here's my problem:

In indoor soccer, I can go the entire game without being tired but

I get completely exhausted to the point of having breathing difficulties if I sprint a few times down the field

like my long-term energy levels are fine, but short-term is shit

Solutions?

Currently doing jump-rope/lateral step/mountain climb intervals. It's too fucking cold/dark for sprints.

12/14/2009 2:48:16 PM

Can you do sprints on a treadmill/at a local gym's basketball court?

What about high intensity work on something like a stair climber?

12/14/2009 3:13:21 PM

eat more fats and less carbs...make your trigs more available for energy and reduce dependence on glucose for short term intense exercise

12/14/2009 3:19:01 PM

i missed the gym yesterday

legs today

heres a sample of what leg days look like:

smith machine squats: 3 x 15 (70, 85, 100 lbs)
then i took it all the way down to 45 (i just wanted to see how low to the floor i could go....about 12 reps)

loaded leg press: 3 x 15 (120, 135, 150)

glue kickbacks (i think thats what they are) 3 x 15 (30, 45, 55)

free weight squats 3X 15 (45)

100 lunges 15 lb weights

seated upright hamstring curls 3 x 15 (90, 100, 110)


then i did the stair stepper for 15 min for a "cool down"

12/14/2009 3:29:01 PM

"100 lunges"

fuck that i do 15 per leg split up into 3 sets!

No, just because it's either impossible or dangerous to go 90-100% of V02 max on a machine. And I don't have access to an indoor court.

Why and what are trigs?

12/14/2009 3:31:06 PM

im trying to eat a whole pizza
fat training in full effect

12/14/2009 3:40:26 PM

I probably should, but I never do leg days.

I run ~20 miles a week, spin and swim. I figure my legs are probably getting enough work.

12/14/2009 3:42:47 PM

^ x 4
they were walking lunges so i just pace up and down the gym until ive done 100.

i went a little heavy on the loaded leg press so my legs felt like jello the whole time after that!
i was saying in the back of my head "please don't fall, please don't fall "

^ x 3 triglycerides

on a side note i don't work out legs much and i did the damn bodypump class on saturday. i can barely walk today squats and lunges kicked my ass.

[Edited on December 14, 2009 at 4:48 PM. Reason : s]

12/14/2009 4:47:57 PM

About to run 5 miles, then zumba class!

12/14/2009 4:48:21 PM

i can never seem to get muscle soreness in my legs anymore

i have to go really, realllllllllly heavy to get there it seems.
like to failure heavy.

^i cant wait to start running again, getting my diet right, and trying to lose bf.
i mean lifting weights is fun and all, but i LOVEEEE my cardio.



[Edited on December 14, 2009 at 4:51 PM. Reason : dgfdgf]

12/14/2009 4:49:56 PM

i'm sure if i worked out my legs regularly it wouldn't happen but damn...so sore right now

12/14/2009 4:52:11 PM

bittersweet feeling eh?

12/14/2009 4:53:06 PM

yeah...can't wait for back and shoulders tonight though. one of my favorite muscle groups.

12/14/2009 4:55:04 PM

30 min cardio

12/14/2009 5:22:53 PM

Wait, you're going to be single?

12/14/2009 8:21:54 PM

So zumba kicked my ass so hard that my 5-mile run turned into 35 minutes of elliptical. Such a wuss. I may have to become a zumba instructor. This class is ridiculously fun!

And Joie, you don't need to lose a thing! You're hawt! But if you want variety in your cardio routine, def do zumba.

^im definitely thinking about it! i loveeee mixing my cardios up...i gott find a place around here that does it (well )...

12/14/2009 11:08:29 PM

60 minutes on the elliptical.

No way that calorie counter thing is remotely accurate, but it said 1425 or something. If I burned a thousand I'd be happy, but I'm skeptical of even that.

12/14/2009 11:44:50 PM

^no way! (about the accuracy )
i use it as a gauge...
i put in the same stats every time and keep a mental note of where i am as compared to other days
