    Shoulder Pain, Advice Please

    When I get this type of injury, I rest the area that is in question but I don't stop exercising all together. I've recently strained my hip flexor. With that I stopped doing my horizontal conditioning and spinning. It was a light stain, so I did the rest period for about a week. I then felt like...

    Back to report my double for the day was AfterBurn - one time through premix. I modified all plank like moves to full crunches. My strength spin workout this morning takes a lot out of my legs and I didn't want to over do it. I also did STS abs - no equip. Well minus all plank work so I did...

    Overtraining???

    I am currently doing doubles 2-3 days a week. I have been doing it for just a couple weeks now. I wasn't planning on doing it more than 3 weeks, but I'm finding that I get a much better core workout when it's isolated by itself instead of right after cardio. I have been doing 1/2 cardio and...

    Back quickly to report that my double for today was a GO :cool: I did premix one of Ride. I didn't actually do everything Cathe did. I stayed more in the vein of the endurance ride parameters from this morning. Tomorrow is leg day, so I didn't want this to be a leg workout. Just a nice easy...

    Yesterday was STS M2 W2 CH,SH,&TR. Slowly increasing those weights :D Today was a Spinning DVD for endurance. We keep the cadance between 80-110 RPM and the heart rate at 65-75% of max heart rate. I can keep the cadance, but my heart rate needs to be lower. This workout is 'easy' compared...

    Hello!! Yesterday was STS Chest, shoulders, and tricep. Did a 35# front shoulder press...whoot whoot!! Also upped my chest press to 45#. I did a 20# chest fly, but I don't like those with that heavy of weight. I think I may replace flys for wide pushups or go lighter. It bothers my...

    Cathe's Barre workout - supporting leg :-(

    That was normal for me. I switched starting legs each weeks when I did a rotation with that workout.

    Hey everybody!! Today was my strength/endurance ride. I survived :eek: There is no timer in this one. He tells you where he wants your heart rate and what RPMs you should be cycling at. You put the resistence on high enough to get you to that level....and you leave it there.....and never...

    Funny...some people would say you didn't need to spend as much as this model cost :eek: The price range on the bikes is really wide. I wanted a bike that could adjust up/down and back/forth for both the handle bars and the seat. There is no store in my area that has many bikes in stock to...

    Lower step height = lower impact? Yes or no?

    For me lowering the step height doesn't change the impact. I can remove impact out of most step workouts by not jumping as much. Lowering the step height does reduce the intensity for me though. I think Body Blast has the Step Blast workout. There is some impact in the beginning portion of...
