Cathe overtraining??

[JAFitMama]

Hi Cathe & welcome back to your forum.

I have a question reguarding the Fat loss rotation w/ Hard Core series. I am following it. I have not done the stretching on the rest days and have added in extra sessions of leg drills from KM. I also play tennis for 90" 2 or 3 times per week. My legs are tired, and tight and sore. And they seem to be that way most of the time. Although I am familiar with all of your workouts and have been using them regularly since 1998, this series seems to cause me more pain. Could I be oevertraining?

Judy:


it certainly sounds like it. Just eliminate the leg drills from KM, take out GS legs for a week, keep up with your tennis and upper body work and see how you feel after a week or maybe two. This should take care of it. It sounds like temporary overtraining, rather than a long haul thing. Give those poor legs a break!

RE: Arobotile

JAFitMama (this is response to your email question to me - but your email address wouldn't work so I am posting the response here).

I put the arobitile directly on top of cement floor. I do Cathe high impact every other morning and then Cathe weight training on the other mornings. Before the arobitile, I was working out in another area of our basement that has thick carpet over the cement - for about 3 months. My back was getting to be in terrible shape and all my joints were hurting. I was thinking that I just must be getting old (at 37) but had never experienced such discomfort in all the years I worked out in gyms and aerobic studios. But then I read about this tile and literally, within 3 days of clicking it together and laying over the cement floor - my pain disappeared. The tile seems like new everyday and doesn't seem to be wearing out in any way. I have no joint or back pain now and have been working out 6-7 days per week for about 1.25 hours each workout. Other than Cathe, I walk 3 miles per day. So - I don't run or do tennis or machines (except when on vacation when I can't take Cathe and her crew with me) - which I know can add to the stress on back and joints.

In summary - it's the best $1000 I ever spent. That bought me a 10 foot by 20 foot area of arobitile. I have been using it for 3 months now. I bought a cheapy foam mat to sit my weights on as your aren't supposed to toss weights around on the arobitile. I guess you could think of the arobitile as an aerobic studio wood floor and treat it that way. You can set weights on it - but I don't store them on it. And as for maintenance, once every week or two I vacuum it - and that's it.

Hope this is helpful. I called about 5 different places that sold it to find the best price and then had it shipped to my house direct. My hubby and I clicked it together in about 2 hours. I think I put the website of where I got it on the thread you saw - I can't remember the name though.

Thank you for the quick reply. I'll check it out. It sounds like I'll need to rip up my carpet in the area where I do cardio. If I can do this economically I'll try. I'm not sure my DH agrees with this expense at this time.

How does it look? Our basement where the work-out area is, is used as an additional TV viewing/ game system/ DDR type area also. (We have 3 teenagers and a tween) Darn, I should have researched this better when we finished the basement in '98.

* I'll check why my e-mail didn't work too.

RE: Arobotile

I think you could just lay the arobotile right over your carpet, which would make it perform even better. And if you were having company or something, you could disassemble if needed and have your carpet right back. Also, with one person to assist, you can actually slide the assembled arobitile anywhere you want. It is heavy enough that it doesn't slide around on its own - but light enough that with a little help, you could slide it into the corner if needed. If you go to www.rubbercal.com or call 18003709152, they will send you a free sample in the mail. I ordered black, but they have all sorts of colors.

RE: Arobotile

Pardon me to e-mail you directly. I saw your message. I experience knee discomfort after a couple weeks exercise. I am interested in buying the arobtitle. I went to visit the site. They have so many choices. Could you let me know which model of the tile you bought?

Thanks

RE: Arobotile

Just wante to be included here. Is it the Bouncee stuff? I am having horrible pains in the balls of my feet since converting part of my basement to a home gym. I do step and kickboxing etc on carpet laid over cement-no padding as you are not supposed to use pads. I'm not thrilled with spending a lot more money, but can't sacrifice my joints!

RE: Arobotile

Bouncee and Areobitile I believe are the same product or very similar. Also very similar flooring to those is Sport Court. I did have a sport court sales rep come out and gve me an estimate. He quoted me $5.60/per suqare foot installed. I just need to convince my DH that this is a worthwhile espense.
