    Hey all

    was away a few days with the kids at the beach.....back to reality :)

    I don't know if anyone else is struggling with work outs/soreness...Im 46 and just recently started working out at home (never joined/belonged to a gym or played sports ever)
    Im using YouTube and only 3 pound weights.,,,,was exc 6 days a week....alternating dance cardio, weight and some light yoga
    BUT I was sore...all the time..LOL
    I am now only working out 5 days a week...alternating light cardio, light weights and barre...and I'm still sore....
    Its been 3 months so far...I dont want to feel sore indefinitely...working out 1hr-1 hr 15min, 5 days a week
    any suggestions?

    tia

    Kim do you find once you start your next day workout your soreness becomes less noticeable? Have you also tried foam rolling before workouts? Stretching after your workouts too. Although i do not feel you will never not be sore from your workouts maybe these suggestions will help. Great Job on your work out routine!

    Mooorning! Happy Thursday! I'm on a day off tomorrow, so it really is FRIDAY to me, wooooo!

    I'm sore right now @kimber0607 , did a spinning class on Tuesday and he did loads of quad work. I'm spinning years, but still sore form it. I kinda like it to be honest, feels like I done something!

    Getting ready to hit the 4-2 in two months, I've been slowly but surely upping my gym game. Not sure how I'm feeling about the age other than glad I've made it this far. :)

    Hi everyone, I’m approaching 42 and have been recovering from a hysterectomy due to ovarian cancer. Trying to get rid of a small flabby belly and build up some muscle. This is my first week of exercising after not doing any for about a year so I’m starting off with shorter (20 minute max) workouts and hoping to build up every week. Would love some friends to keep me motivated and on the right track xoxo

    I'm 36 I still do not think I am middle age. I have been watching what I eat for 4 weeks now , I have been adding walking in a few times a week, making better choices, and down 9 lbs :). The best part while doing this for myself after 2 weeks while thinking about my healthy life choice I should stop smoking, and I did . It will be 2 weeks on Sunday smoke free. My goal now is on Sunday to start going to the gym and lifting and doing some classes. I know for me to reach my goal weight it will take me a year or so I have 103 lb to go. If anyone out wants to add me as a friend feel free to add me. I would enjoy to have people to talk to while on this life journey of becoming a better me.

    Afternoon all. I went for a walk around my local forest yesterday, and got bored so obviously climbed some trees. The photo is from an earlier walk, but it also had trees. jzq4taoo8olo.jpg

    This is awesome!

    Good morning. 51 here. Recently moved and have been traveling for business and gained back some weight. Clothes got tight. Need to focus and make sure to exercise each day. Sound familiar? Lol
    Hoping to make some new exercise friends.

    Odd thing is I feel great when I work out...don't feel like I've pushed myself too far..and I dont feel; any pain..its after that it hits..usually a few hours
    I also have to admit, until recently, I havent been diligent about stretching BEFORE and AFTER...which I am now doing

    thanks for the tips...Ill have to look into foam rolling
    thanks Kim
