I think it is an incredible book! Not only does it cover the diet base....it covers how to track your progress for your body type, how to make changes right away if you are not seeing the progress you want. He also covers goal setting and the importance of a positive attitude. It is such a...

After having my kids, I had excellent results using circuits and total body strength workouts...but that is what works for my body type, everyone is different. Diet is critical. I suggest a food journal because we too often consume more than we think...and vowing to write down every morsal...

RE: Just turned 34, maintenance not working anymore, su... I just wanted to add that I have been getting more than usual compliments on my physique this past month. Several people in my running group have asked if I am doing the Ironman's (half or full) and seem so suprised when I tell them I...

RE: Just turned 34, maintenance not working anymore, su... Laura, As you know, I have been doing the low HR cardio workouts for all but 2 cardio sessions a week...the other two being more intense and **interval**....been doing this for a month now. You mentioned a fear of losing speed...

"I do feel sorry for her, I am sure being in prison is no walk in the park..." "I feel bad for her..." I don't feel bad for her one single bit...not even a smidge, and I won't apolgize for it. I hear ppl saying the punishment is too harsh. For DUI??? Tell that to the moms out there who...

Sounds just like it band. get the foam roller!! when you roll, use a downward motion, so you are moving towards the knee...start at the hip and move down to the knee. It will hurt...a lot! Even hold the position on the tender spots. Just don't roll away from the knee (knee to hip) because...

This is not at all an effort to keep this thread alive but catwoman is so very RIGHT!!!! Our society **thinks** they know how to eat right and healthy but the majority is so wrong! You actually have to make an effort to get the right information, you have to try. Why would anyone try when...

How long was she in for? A day?

I think that drinking wine for your health is a classic oxymoron. I like what Greeneyed said about the M&M's...very good point! Yes, there are antioxidants that contain health benefits but there are also a lot of bad things in there that are hurting more than helping. They contain simple...

RE: Just turned 34, maintenance not working anymore, su... He does say no intensity for 3 months. My DH is following his program right now. I am following it for 90% of my miles. Why? Because last January I signed up and paid for this training group that does speed work twice a week. It...

RE: Just turned 34, maintenance not working anymore, su... "Easing up on the elliptical"...lowering the resistance for faster leg turn over and keeping my HR low for over an hour. I did 180-my age to determine my limits. Here’s a summary article by Phil Maffetone...

RE: Just turned 34, maintenance not working anymore, su... I know for certain that easing the intensity was the #1 contributor to my 10 minute PR on my last marathon. When training for the Pig, I just eased up on the elliptical. After seeing (and feeling) how much it helped (because I really...

I think it all depends on your stride while running. I am like you, I use my hamstrings more and have a lot of hamstring definition. I take hills with a lot of ease! So, to balance it all out, I use the elliptical. That always burns my quads! Also, I know for fact that biking/spinning...

Laura, When I started, my slow run pace was about an 11:00 pace. Gradually, I am able to keep my HR super low while going faster. It just means that my cardiac system is responding and getting stronger. It's doing what I am training it to do...work more efficiently. Last wekend, I was...

Another vote for Loreal Sublime. I use the gel. I have been using it for over a year. Before that, I used the Loreal Lotion, which works great, too. I just can never find the lotion in "medium-dark" but I can in the gel. It doesn't rub off on my sheets. Only drawback is, I do need to...

Lorie, I know, the slow running is harder than it sounds!!!! After a few miles, it really makes my butt burn...and it does work different muscles! Also, it strengthens muscles and tendons so future injury is less likely, even after you speed it up! The other thing...the slow running has...

"I like Victoria Secret's shock absorber medium support sports bras" My absolute favorite!!!!!!!!! Supports, flattering shape and hides how much I LOVE to run!!!!:P

Hi Dianne, I tried to respond to your PM but it got booted back to me. Anyway, you are making sense and I understand what you are asking. The 130's for my easy workouts is on the low and easy end of the spectrum but deliberatley so. I aim to keep my HR under 146 for easy workouts and...

Jenn, No need to hide! I couldn't agree with you more! Tom Venuto (BFFM) convinced me that even a little bit isn't worth it! If I take in 2 drinks a year, then I was **hitting it hard** that year. I can do without it, so I do. However, I know a lot of people feel deprived when they give up...

RE: Just turned 34, maintenance not working anymore, su... "sarah, how often are you doing the fasted cardio? and how long are you doing it for? " Now I MUST WARN YOU...I am training for a marthon so my cardio sessions are very long!!! My easy, fasted sessions are at least 70 minutes long...
