I imagine occasionally complaining of TMJ would be a convenient way to get out of performing the task which most men treasure so dearly and most women thoroughly despise

while my beach body isn't doing so hot, my sister is absolutely kicking ass and headed to the beach for the last week of August. She's been working on her pull-ups as of late and knocked out a few today. So proud of her!

^^ Spin is awesome. If you decide you like it and want to keep doing it, you should get some shoes with SPD clips. It makes a world of difference.

8/19/2010 8:29:32 AM

punchmonk, i took a beginning spin class and it was awesome! you're gonna love it. just prepare for a sore tush afterwards. it hurt to sit down for a day or so

8/19/2010 8:40:02 AM

Yay punchmonk! That's such a great workout.

BTW, any more takers on a workout buddy for this weekend? Can't wait to get to Raleigh. Def planning some runs and maybe boot camp outside.

8/19/2010 10:07:32 AM

come up to DC and you can work out with me

8/19/2010 10:20:21 AM

ill do some high calorie eating with you at the bk lounge

8/19/2010 10:38:24 AM

How about high-calorie drinking @ Flying Saucer?

8/19/2010 10:57:43 AM

i love protein shakes!!!!

Oh man, spin class is hard. I hope I didn't overwork myself. You guys know what you are talking about.

8/19/2010 1:00:08 PM

Lucy I'll be around. And I love next to Lake Johnson so we can go run there.

8/19/2010 4:58:13 PM

I love spin classes. It's hard during the week to do any sort of long, hard bike ride in LA--too much traffic, not enough bike paths. Spinning lets me go as hard as I want and really punish myself; I've definitely noticed a difference in my normal cycling since I started doing the indoor classes.

8/19/2010 5:04:54 PM

get another whopper dawg.

8/19/2010 9:46:36 PM

i wish i saw this a few months ago, but i don't ever look at the lounge

just started P90X though, i know there's a thread for that too, but i woulda participated in both

8/19/2010 9:54:33 PM

car has no wipers cant leave home

8/19/2010 10:22:10 PM

Started cutting back on some of the cardio in p90x to see if I can burn/sweat less and maybe gain a bit more. I am still super active playing frisbee and soon to be trail hiking so it isn't like I am loafing about on non-lift days. Yoga is still a must though!

8/19/2010 10:27:26 PM

fuck it - I'm going to join you people and start working out

Here's the miserable childlike body I'm starting with:

8/19/2010 10:34:19 PM

rock on dude!!

8/19/2010 10:35:44 PM

At least you're starting out with awesome hair!

8/19/2010 10:36:44 PM

8/19/2010 10:37:08 PM

and some kickass wallpaper

8/19/2010 10:37:55 PM

and disgustingly dirty door molding

8/19/2010 10:38:49 PM

I hope this challenge is on going. I love it!

8/19/2010 10:39:58 PM

Me too, otherwise I'm going to be pissed

8/19/2010 10:40:44 PM

i'm definitely going to keep up with working out. i hadn't run since last friday and i ran tonight and it was shit. i felt like crap (and still feel like shit about it) and i know that it's because i hadn't been working out. i don't want to feel like that again - so i'm definitely going to keep this up

8/19/2010 10:49:44 PM

Given that I got a rather late start I know that I am going to miss this pool/beach season but that just gives me all winter/spring to really get to my goal (If I am not there by October) and then focus on maintaining so by the time next season rolls around I will be ready to go from day 1!

8/19/2010 11:01:37 PM

im done working out. retired!

8/19/2010 11:41:37 PM

Woot Woo! Grats dude. What program are you going to use for maintenance?

8/20/2010 12:20:48 AM

My day off. I think i pulled a groin muscle. I'm getting it checked this afternoon.

8/20/2010 9:26:13 AM

^^ i think he was being sarcastic

^ oh noes!!! be careful dear

8/20/2010 9:33:51 AM

^^ from spin class?

8/20/2010 9:34:21 AM

Update: i broke below 200 lbs, and I'm extremely stoked. been a few years since I've been this lean

showing some definition in my legs now as my thighs are both more than 2" smaller now

8/20/2010 9:48:48 AM

DAMN

very impressive

8/20/2010 9:49:25 AM

Haha...no, not from spin class, wadhead. I think it's from kickboxing or other things . (ew, gross Amna, tmi)

H8R, those legs are stunning!! gg

8/20/2010 10:02:01 AM

hahahahahaha punchmonkey - you are hilarious

8/20/2010 10:04:41 AM
