    Alpha Omega Check-In *AUGUST*

    "Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death." (Proverbs 11:4) Cathy, I never use heavy weights to squat but sometimes when I squat too deep I do get some lower back pain. I hope your back feels better today! Jen, I love road trips! Where are you headed...

    Morningstar, I wanted to share that I have hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and before I knew that, I found that I would always crash following the consumption of carbs alone (still do!) It wasn't until I started adding a good protein source with every meal (including snacks), was I able to eat...

    Iris, I think that's a good plan. If you need more weight work, stay for the whole 30/30 and get in that Burn Intervals workout too. (You could also try Lean Intervals for variety) It seems like all the VFF'ers talk about the programs a lot when they first come out. I guess CLX is old news...

    "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." (Psalm 46:1) Iris, I saw your post on VFF, I even bumped it up to see if anyone else responds. I thought about splitting up the upper/lower body work, but then I thought that defeats the purpose of a shorter workout and I'm...

    Hello everyone! Janis, it's good to see you back! Congrats on pushing the mental limit!! I do that to myself too, especially with each passing week of C25K. Everytime I see how far I have to run I immediately think "no way", but I force myself to keep putting one foot in front of the...

    Jen, is this hospital near the city where you will be moving to? I will keep it in prayer for you! Iris, thanks for understanding, I knew you would! :) It's funny, I just came on to post again to mention that CLX has been particularly hard on my legs, and then I saw your post about the...

    Tricia, thanks so much for the encouragement! I really needed it!! :) I remember when I was having trouble with Week 4 that you said the same thing happened to you. I'll try and move on to Week 5 next week, but if I have to repeat Week 4, no big deal! I don't have Cardio Coach (yet :p)...

    Hello everyone! I did my second C25K run of Week 4 today. It was tougher than usual because my legs have been really sore from another program I'm doing (Chalean Extreme), and the humidity was very high today. That is really getting to me! The thought actually crossed my mind today to quit...

    Okay Iris, about CLX..... Hmm, I'm not so sure I'm loving it, LOL. I know I have to give it time, but I felt kind of akward doing some of the moves. The biggest thing that bothered me is that I can't follow someone along with the reps. I really like knowing how many I need to do and then...
