RICE. Rest. Ice. Compression. Elevation. Let your body heal.

Cadence is pretty basic and will also help your fitness.

Also, work on your cadence. An ideal running cadence is 90-95 foot strikes in one minute. Test yourself how many times does your right foot hit the ground in 1 minute? Then slowly start bumping up your cadence on your runs. And by slowly I mean focus on it for about a minute out of every mile for several weeks and then…

I say you need to be a bit louder. How do those people know you want to run with them? Are they supposed to read your mind? Be more assertive and ask them or even invite yourself on some runs. Or start your own group!

NUUN is a local Seattle company!

Not a fan of the chiropractor. Personally, I would go to the sports medicine doctor and then get a referral to a physical therapist.

Even in high school I weighed around 135. I was a swimmer and still am, I feel strong and healthy at the weight I'm currently at. I'm The opposite of you, I think 115 or 120 on me would be way too skinny! But you are gorgeous!

I was going to say the exact same thing!! You look amazing!!

LOLZ at the people who are reporting on some responses to this thread as "abuse" when all they are simply doing is disagreeing with the fact that they see no need to carry a gun while riding a bike.

As measure by body mass index? If so, that measurement does not take into consideration the persons physique or lean body mass. Some pro athletes could be considered obese. Not a good measurement or use for anyone.

I have NEVER been told I was overweight by my doctors.

Meh. I'm 150 and I'm not overweight in the slightest.

Need Electrolytes? Next time when it's hot and you are hiking instead of just water use something like a NUUN in your water.

I did not lose weight training for an Ironman until about the last 6 weeks of a 6 month training plan. But that is when the training volume increases quite a bit, topping out at 20 hours a week. All of a sudden I lost several pounds and was quite lean (for me) by race day.

I still don't understand why wowmen these days want bigger butts these days! Lol! Please, take mine!

Check out www.gonoodle.com It's for kids, but there are some great movement channels! There are short yoga videos, interval videos, running in place, Zumba and other types of dancing! You and your kids can do it together. I use it for my second graders all the time!

Facebook science.

Don't forget you have to charge it!

Success with what? Endurance? Strength? Speed?

Think about why you like it? Is it the taste? Is it the social aspect? Why do you like it so much? Once you have thought about that? Think about how it makes you feel afterwards? Good? Happy? Satiated? Hungry? Bad? Lethargic? Etc. Don't guilt and shame yourself for liking certain things. Maybe make room for one or two…

Hmmmm, never have I ever encountered the need for anyone to be using a gun whilst riding a bike. This post makes me sad.

Who gives a *kitten* what people are doing or not doing in their workouts. Most of us are not elite athletes but I'm guessing most of us want to improve our lives and if we follow the prescribed definition of HIIT or not, we are still moving our bodies to the best of our ability!

Also, 550 calories burned in 30 minutes of swimming? What were you doing to burn so much during a low impact workout?

Tabata is actually quite difficult and amazing!

All ironman triathletes are buff and lean. And I was scared and nervous at the start of the race that I wasn't lean enough or strong enough to even be worthy of starting. Did my first one and just really loved that all types of bodies were out there and out there doing an amazing job!

Never said rows and x uos we're HIIT. Intervals? Yes.

You can't ride on the road? Or hit the trail you mentioned earlier in the day so it's less crowded? I would recommend finding a group you can cycle with. You can learn group riding skills and find some new routes to ride so you aren't bothered by walkers on a trail.

Yesterday for example my workout went like this: .2 run at 2% incline 20 x ups 10 kettle bell rows .2 run 4% incline 20 x ups 10 kb rows .2 run at 6% incline 20 x ups 10 kb rows .2 run at 8% incline 20 x ups 10 KB rows .10 run sprint on flat 20 x ups 10 kb rows Repeat (as time allows) Switch to floor work: I can't remember…

Swimming for sure, you can even do some aqua jogging. Yoga, Pilates. Great low impact options!

Go fast.
