    Happy new week middle aged friends

    Decided last night to challenge myself and see how fit I can get. I know this will fizzle I. A couple of weeks when I end up hurting myself but might as well give it a try!

    AliNouveau nothing wrong with challenging yourself and why would that result in a training injury? :smiley: plan it, do it, push it, just prepare to pull it back a little if you need to.

    Hi! 47, divorcing, mother of 2, stronger than ever. I went from slim to too-skinny over the course of the breakup and am building muscle and gaining back the weight with lifting and boxing. Trying to get over exercise-induced asthma so I can compete, and to get a layer of fat back over my tailbone so I can do situps without pain. I'd love to be in this group.

    Stuffyknee make sure you eat... a lot if your weight training and boxing, fuel the body with good proteins and fats. Good luck enjoy the journey!!!

    I have flat out or not haha. I don't understand not pushing yourself to your limits when working out...it's been conditioned into me since i was a kid. You push through minor aches and pains and hope they'll go away. I'm a little crazy

    Today I did an hour long abs and butt workout video and then went for an hour long evening walk. 2 hours of exercise should be good for day one

    Last night was rough, I was eaten by a tiger...in a rather frightening dream :smile: . Then I spent the rest of the early morning hours worried I'd over sleep my alarm and miss my 0400 wake up call...WTH??? Well I did miss my run but not because I slept through my alarm. So now have to run this evening, its gonna be 108 here for the high...so around 99-100 @ 7pm...awesome!!!

    Yikes hope you recovered from the tiger!

    I think the 4am wake up call would terrify me more than the tiger 🤣😂🤣

    Yeah early mornings are rough, but compared to the alternative of triple digit heat runs, I'll take it :smiley::smiley:

    Hey all! It's probably been about a year since I posted. I fell off the wagon once again.

    Well I just turned 40 on the 4th and am heavier than I've been in a long time. I figured it was time to head back here for motivation and accountability!

    Second day doing a 60 minute workout Video. It's so hot out I'm trapped inside so might as well workout I guess. My stupid knee acts up with certain movements but thank goodness for modifications
