Re: Sarah's Bodybuilding 101 Week of May 22, 2006

Sarah, thanks for that article! I'm doing 25 minutes of HIIT on my ellip. I like his idea of adding one more minute on the 3rd day. I'm going to give that a try.

It was a killer 25 minutes today though. My legs are pretty sore from last night...and because I haven't been doing it, I'm out of shape again.

I got on the scales this morning....just wanting to see how much damage TOM did to my weight (plus the workout last night) and I was down another 1.3 lbs!!! HOLY CRAPPERS!! This is fantastic! Not sure why...but I'll take it!!! LOL

Hey, can you edit your introduction thread to include that article with our little collection???

Great article!
i did a Billy Blanks dvd for my cardio/toning today. Also did some crunches. It was fun. I like doing toning with my cardio, and there's no excuse with a dvd player. I'm going to blend the hiit into it also. Tomorrow's a full body weight session, I've been slacking.

Hello, I did my run it felt very good I went 3.6 miles in 30 minutes I did that Super hit for the last 5 minutes at 7 MPH holly crap I thought I would definately die HE HE. It's pretty cool I could do 5 minutes I did better then I thought I would. I burned around 400 calories which rocks then I walked for 10 minutes to cool down.

Re: Sarah's Bodybuilding 101 Week of May 22, 2006

I did, but honestly, the HIIT would be too much right now, I think, I tried going faster for really short periods of time, but I have to tell you, there is a WORLD of difference in the difficulty of the treadmill versus the gazelle. The much higher impact is wreaking havoc with my shins, and I want to be able to work up to doing a more intensive workout, but it's going to be very slowly, to avoid any possible injury. My thick short legs just can only take so much! LOL

K first off if you are having trouble with your SHINS seriously drop the incline for a BIT this happened to me so Listen to your body and drop the incline and go a bit slower just for now till those puppies aren't hurting any more. Do some shin stretches and try to strengthen up the front shin muscle. If you need specific exercises you can do I will help you but, if your shins are hurting slow down drop the incline K. I don't want ya kicked out

YUP Build slowly or the chances of injurey is too great I don't want you injured Pain is your bodies way of saying "WHAT THE **** ARE YOU DOING"" I can't handle this yet. It will you will be able to resume just slower down a bit till you have no pain or tenderness in those shins. A shin injurey can Knock you right out of cardio and we don't want that. We want injurey free training.
