I add protein powder to my morning coffee - a scoop of Slimquick Pure Double Chocolate flavor for hot coffee and I really like the Quest Salted Caramel in Iced Coffee. I use a bullet blender thing to get it mixed properly. Other things I do: -Collagen Peptides have 18g protein for 72 cals and dissolve great in liquid - I…

That's me too

I workout first thing in the morning so no food.

Treadmill and upper body weights today - have a wedding with sleeveless dress on Saturday so need some killer arms!!!

So this might be the best board ever! You are all my peeps! I was a competitive swimmer and did a lot of backstroke. At practice one day they took down the flags and, being the incredibly unobservant person that I am, didn't notice and crashed into the side of the pool since the flags were what I used to count strokes…

Pilates

Could also be tendinitis. I have it in both elbows but the right is worse since it is my dominant arm. Push-ups, triceps dips and overhead extensions always get it bad. I have been diagnosed and my PT told me which brace to get and how to put it on properly. I also have magnesium oil spray and a herbal ointment that help…

I've heard running helps. Other people have mentioned kick-boxing and yoga as good options as well depending on how you are feeling that day (stressed, angry, etc...). Another friend does Zumba just because she likes the music and the dancing - makes her feel happy.

Get the StrongLifts 5X5 app or the Strong Curves book (specifically for women) as they have very guided routines. The Strong Curves book also has pics of the exercise and very descriptive instructions on how to do the move properly.

Same here since I have been diagnosed with tendinitis in both elbows (although the right elbow is much more severe due to it being my dominant arm)

Its swim week for me! My little guy is camping with grandma and grandpa so I get to swim laps at the local rec center. Doing that as my main cardio (30-45 minutes) and focusing on weights in the morning. Today is Hump Day though so it was leg day so lots of squats, lunges, and kettle bell swings.

The dress I was planning to wear to my cousin's wedding in 2 weeks is too big. Not sure if that is a victory though as I love this dress...oh wait!!! I get to go shopping - total victory!

5 am is my go to I have a 20 minute Pilates DVD that I can sometimes get to right after work if I make an oven or slow cooker dinner (like a lasagna or pulled pork). Family walks and bike rides and more recently playing some basketball in the driveway are another way I have been sneaking some extra in. I have a home gym…

Its swim week! Monday-Thursday I will be swimming laps for 30-45 minutes each day. I will also be keeping my "hump day" workout on Wednesday and doing some walking and weights. Friday I will either re-do the hump day workout (slightly tweaked) or do the Biggest Loser Bootcamp DVD again.

Pinterest has tons

This is my only social media as well - I'm more active than I anticipated being when I initially signed up just because there is so much support and people are really open to sharing ideas.

I've done those for realz! Like with the rope and everything! I maxed out at 3 in a row :p

Overslept today so just did some upper body weights - biceps curls, triceps extensions, chest press and fly, and back fly and rows. Some jumping jacks and crunches were in there as well. Going to be carrying rocks down a big hill today so that will be my main workout I guess.

Just sent you a FR - I also like kitties (have 2)

First figure out what options are available to you. Workout DVD's are always a great option since you can find a large variety of them to fit your current needs - and many are available for free on You Tube. Pinterest has a bunch of printable workouts you can follow including some playground workouts using the stuff there.…
