I do cardio for at least an hour, hour and a half almost everyday and a couple of bodyweight/kettle bell sessions a week, sometimes I do power yoga as well. I could be better with my diet. I eat mostly clean except I drink soda sometimes. Other than that lots of salads, almonds, coffee, eggs,etc. I pretty much love every form of cardio-swimming, water jogging, dance, elliptical, hiking, jump rope, rowing, boxing, sledding-you name it. I'm looking into getting into rollerblading in the spring, and would love to get to try kayaking or snowshoeing. I have a bunch of workout dvds-power yoga, tae bo, kickboxing, dance, zumba, weight training, punk rope, and my bike on a bike trainer and my kettle bells. You can add me.

    Wow girl, sounds like a personal training job would be a perfect fit for you.

    So...strength training? Kettlebells?

    That's a lot of cardio. I'm proud of myself if I do 2 hours a week.
  • I've looked into fitness instructing and personal training. I'm not really big fan of using weight machines.

    Ever tried it? Without someone to talk to during? (Especially as an injured runner doing it 6x/week?)

    Actually yes, I don't like it, it's not my thing, but I'm not going to make fun of her because she likes it. It's actually really good exercise for you.

    Sorry just seemed alittle rude to me, sorry if I misunderstood, but for me if it challenges you, it's gonna change you.

    Sometimes we joke. If someone phrased something similar to me about doing barbell glute bridges I wouldn't take offense.

    Sorry been on here a day and I've seen more bashing then helping, a lot of people with self esteem issues shouldn't be questioned, they should be helped.
  • I have done it and I enjoyed it because it was more fun than the treadmill, I love anything to do with water. I'm like a fish.

    Yeah, wasn't trying to bash--was trying to be more self-deprecating about it. This is why I need to use smileys more often...

    Teach me how to love pool running! Please!
  • Oh it's okay, I've had stuff happen on here. That's the internet for you.

    Wow, that's (genuinely) really interesting! I'm a swimmer and a runner, but pool running is just *deadly* to me. It should be the perfect combination of everything I love and yet it is just...ugh. Maybe 'cause I can't watch YouTube videos during it like I can on the dreadmill.

    Lol the dreadmill!!! I've never heard of that. I think I might have to steal that one from you.
  • Hmm well I would suggest listening to music, if you can invest in a an underwater iPod that helps. Otherwise I mix it up, I swim some laps, go and o some water jogging, swim some laps, and I repeat it as a circuit. I'll swim maybe 1/2 mile and then incorporate some running in there for like 10 minutes and then finish up with the swim portion and I might do another running interval. Or you can just do 30 min running, 30 swim. My legs feel like jelly when I do.

    Hrm, yeah, maybe breaking up the running with swimming would help. It's an amazing workout and GREAT for landrunning, I absolutely agree. I'm jealous that you enjoy it!
