great thread idea... way to promote healthy living
im gonna pass on the competition but i have quite a few exercise goals, yall gotta keep me honest!
ideal schedule is 540A to 800A monday-saturday but lately i have been sleeping in instead
also, i want to do rock climbing gym every sunday and start swimming again after work MWF once i find a pool around where i live. stress from work has set me back a bit but i am starting to get a handle on that so hopefully i can pick up the pace!
Welcome to the thread! Good luck making your goals.
540A, though? That's early! If you figure out something to motivate yourself to wake up that early, please share it! I'd love to do a morning gym routine, as it's the only time of the day I can guarantee to have to myself. It would require a 445 wakeup time though, and I can't swing that right now.
20 minutes pilates today. I think I actually did them right this time.
How do you know how much of the weight is just you being fat and how much is because you have a large frame?
Good job. Pilates are pretty effective - you should start noticing a difference from those.
Grayscale offered good advice. It's actually pretty expensive to get accurate body fat measurements. A scale with a body fat % analyzer is the easiest solution, but it's only really good for measuring increase/decrease - they are quite inaccurate.
You can also go with something like this:
Amazon.com: FatTrack PRO Digital Body Fat Management System with FREE Composition Tracker Body Fat Tracking Software: Health & Personal Care
Although you'll have to learn how to properly use it to do any good, and it's kind of tricky.
Anyhoo, I'm supposed to be heading off to my Krav Maga class now but I've injured myself and there's nothing I could do
I wanna go!
I'll do something else slower and more gentle on my own, but disappointed with that one.
Aw... I'm sorry about your ankle. I hope it heals quickly for you so you can get back into the game.
This challenge is both too competitive and too trendy for me
cool
, but I have a question you exercise-conscious lot might be able to help me with. What's the best way to reduce muscle-soreness the day after a workout? Do hot or cold showers help at all?
Well, keep in mind the first week is going to be baaaad. The soreness gets more manageable after that.
However, cooling down by walking or other slow paced activity is really important. Also, really stretching after a workout helps.
The next day, you can also do a light exercise to warm up and then stretch again. I've never tried salts like Fidelia suggested, but a warm bath can be really soothing. Not that a straight male such as myself has ever taken a warm bath, mind you.
Wow! Stalked??? That sounds either really funny and/or really creepy. EDIT: All you guy/gals are doing very well. Whooo!
Well, perhaps I exaggerated just the tiniest of bits. I talked about it earlier in the thread.
