Walking backwards
While walking the other day with the family, I turned around and walked backwards a few laps just to face the fam and talk. The results were fantastic. My legs were cramping from the elliptical workout before and by walking backwards I apparently used other muscles which in turn counteracted the cramps. I've done it each…

C25K - Embarrassing question
I'm stuck on week 3. Reason being, every time I get out there and start to exert myself (usually during the 2nd 3 min jog) I experience some stomach upset. It's bad enough that it sends me running home and running to the bathroom. Has this happened to anyone else? What do you do about it?? Does it go away eventually??? Any…

Definitely A Pleasant Surprise...
I've been hearing and reading everywhere that even the smallest type of physical activity is beneficial to your weight loss, common sense of course.

Running on the treadmill...
I love running outside, there's nothing better than getting sunshine, fresh air, and a great workout all at once!! But although outside is a great place to work on distance, the treadmill is a great for interval training and speed workouts.
