"plus not having a workout buddy"

What time/how often do you usually work out? I'd be game for a workout buddy, I've never actually had a real one as my schedule is usually AM lifting when the gym isn't as crowded. I'm usually there 7:30-9:30 as I have a 10:15 class M-F...or I could do 11:30-2:30 MWF & 1-3 T/Th. All day Sat/Sun.

Gonna be switching programs too and haven't landed on a split or routine yet so I'd be game for anything really. Gonna dead lift 500 before summer hits!

About to run 8 miles
Followed by arms, abs and walking lunges

1/26/2010 6:08:16 AM

It gets easier the more you do it

It is my theory that this is the time of year when dogs are coming into heat maybe and thats why Jinzo felt the need to go after every dog he saw around the lake? Anyone has an unaltered female dog and can vouch this?

Anyways met H8r yesterday after running the muddy back trails and continued to run with him around the hellacious hills

Prolly going out there again today

1/26/2010 10:01:36 AM

missed my spinning class yesterday...well didn't miss it but when i got there (10 mins early may i add) all the bikes were already taken. evidently the monday class is really busy. so i ran a couple miles then did chest. i'm going to do the 1 hour spinning class tonight.

1/26/2010 10:36:14 AM

I'm a little skurred

I guess that does sound weird

it's this big square thing on the floor.. she said you strap your feet into it then try to run and do all sorts of other stuff

1/26/2010 12:51:16 PM

i am ready to run again today, although we'll see what my body says about that when i get there

1/26/2010 12:53:35 PM

question. how much time do you spend doing arms and abs respectfully? just curious.

i am having the hardest time pushing my body into more weight training. i used to be really good about it. now i'm blah. i'm much more of a cardio person.

today will be 40 minutes on the spinning bike (virtual spinning class ftw) and then 20-30 minutes doing arms and abs.

1/26/2010 1:49:57 PM

Just... do it?

Are you asking why you're lazy about it... or something?

1/26/2010 1:50:38 PM

i'm far from lazy......i just have lost a lot of motivation in terms of weight training. i rather run or bike or get on the elliptical. i like to hear what other people do and for how often....part of it is motivating and the other part is that i'm just curious. plus Lucy has a killer bod. for Lucy.

1/26/2010 1:54:07 PM

for Lucy

1/26/2010 2:05:10 PM

for cass and rai

I usually just do 5 to 10 minutes of abs. Most of my cardio works my core muscles anyway. Another 10 minutes of arms/shoulders/back. And then usually around 100 lunges and 3-5 minutes of squats.

Crank up the music and get er done.

1/26/2010 2:11:14 PM

5k at lunch

1/26/2010 2:12:16 PM

Cassthesass:

1. Bench press
2. Squat
3. Deadlift

Bam, you're done and have hit almost every major muscle group.

^ thanks God

Just start with the bar and make sure your form is proper. And then add on, say, 10 lbs. on either side. Slowly work up.

Want to know how those celebrities have super firm asses? The motherfucking squat, that's how.

1/26/2010 2:27:17 PM

oh i love squats, lunges, all that stuff. like i said, i used to be really into weight training. but a bad fall off my car last year that tore up my ankle and then my gym closing for 3 months and then being sick so much this year it really has put a damper into my working out.

damn i'm whining.

i'll try some lunges and squats today and see how my ankle feels. it's been pretty tight the past few days with a bit of a sharp tinge. hopefully it just needs to loosen up. or break. whichever comes first.

1/26/2010 2:29:40 PM

were you ghostridin' the whip

1/26/2010 2:31:26 PM

Cassie...i've always had the opposite probelm...loved wieght training and hated cardio. now i'm only weight training once or twice a week while doing at least an hour of cardio 4 times a week. it sucks!!

1/26/2010 2:52:43 PM

i hate weightlifting.
i love cardio.

there i said it

1/26/2010 2:54:47 PM

Lately I've been combining the two with jumping jacks with 10 lb weights in each hand

Started with 15 lbs, but my arms were coming out the sockets

10 is a good burn, but you can still do multiple sets of 30

1/26/2010 2:57:42 PM

^^I'm the opposite.

[Edited on January 26, 2010 at 2:58 PM. Reason : ^ wtf, why?]

1/26/2010 2:58:02 PM

Jinzo and I are running around Lake Johnson when I get home from work... I like the dirt trail before you get to the paved stuff cause its muddy there and once I get done people think I am hard core... cause everything from mid calf and down is cover in mud with splashes on my back side

1/26/2010 2:59:09 PM

1/26/2010 2:59:23 PM

My marathon runner lady friend always talks about how great running is after you push through the pain, and then how the last miles are nothing about pain. Another talks about how when he ran the mile competitively in college, it was about who could push the hardest against pain.

I just don't get it.

1/26/2010 3:02:02 PM

no pain no gain.

also...runners high!!

1/26/2010 3:07:29 PM

Yeah I've never encountered runners high, and I run a good bit. I just think some people like it, some people don't, like any other exercises out there.

1/26/2010 3:29:45 PM

I definitely experience a runner's high from time to time.

I hate weights and prefer cardio, but I love the way weight training makes my body look and feel. Squats for a tight ass (squats with a resistance ball to target abs/ass/legs simultaneously). Lunges for killer thighs. Cable crunches for great abs.

I work out my arms regularly, but I think I get my best arm workout from tennis and from wakeboarding.

1/26/2010 3:45:59 PM

^ Cardio is important for heart health. Additionally, it helps me sleep better. Otherwise, I have way too much excess energy at the end of the day.

1/26/2010 3:51:38 PM

ibt "I'll help you with your excess energy" comments

But yes, cardio is good conditioning for your heart. It's nice that my heart works less throughout the day doing normal activities because I condition it during my workouts.

1/26/2010 3:58:56 PM

i'm a fan of clean and presses on 45 lb dumbbells

1/26/2010 4:11:14 PM

i dislike weight training. i couldnt imagine running/biking in place. the only thing i really want to do is play basketball / flag football. shin splints hurt like hell and are ruining that for me now.

oh well. at least i am still gaining weight at a good pace.
