If you feel better wearing them, wear them. Why do you care what other people think ?

I always hated my big legs, but came to appreciate them after a horse kicked me.I had some awful bruising, but no broken bones. The doctor told me I was lucky to have a lot of muscle.

I encourage the guys in the gym to give yoga a try. I've "recruited" quite a few, and most have stuck with it.

gym owner, personal trainer, spin instructor

Recovery spin, yoga or horseback riding.

Open house and bench press competition at my gym.

If you don't completely rest it and ice it , it may only continue to get worse. I had it in my bicep. What I SHOULD have done was rest and get and MRI to see what was really going on. Instead I continued to train, and finally had a complete rupture of the distal biceps tendon. Surgery, then months of different casts and…

I'm 52--Today !!!! but "older" is not part of my vocabulary .:tongue:

People who don't have horses have no idea how much work it is. It's a labor of love for sure. I have 3 horses and live in Florida. I try to ride really early before it gets too hot.

There's a saying "You can't out exercise a bad diet " Go settings at the top of the page to open your diary. Give a little more info and hopefully someone can help you.

well it wasn't intended, but this weekend I was starving and before my brain checked in with my stomach I slammed down 6 slices of pizza. Then I went home and had steak and potatoes, dessert and a couple of wines. 3 days later I still feel awful.

This guy at my gym is constantly "wooing" , Clapping and making other weird sounds, and yelling weird sayings- even out in the parking lot. He slaps himself in the face and pounds on his chest before he does a bench press. Everyone is just so impressed.

2 siamese - Haiku and Lo I. Q. 1 tortiseshell rescue from Puerto Rico- Minky 1 red longhair named I.R.T. - short for Interborough rapid trainsit :laugh:

I go alone on the bike trail, but I'll only go during the day when there are lots of people that are using it. I keep a keep a knife strapped to my bike and I try to stay aware of my surroundings. Paranoid? You bet. Years ago I was attacked, in a nice quiet, supposed crime free area. You never know, and you never fully get…

^^ Same here.

I've always enjoyed having a (consistent) training partner, it really helps to have someone to give me that much needed spot and push me past my comfort zone. My current partner is awesome, and is also a member here. However, I've had some in the past, that weren't as dedicated, in which case I'd rather train alone.

Everyone wants immediate results. It doesn't happen that way. Have patience, stay dedicated, there is no short cut. Remember fitness is a lifelong achievement.

If you don't Tox, you won't need to detox

it's my hips, or my humps as I call them- like a camel stores their fat:tongue:

grasshoppers and praying mantis completely freak me out, I can't even look at a picture of one.

Motivation is what gets you started, Habit is what keeps you going ! Surround yourself with positive supportive people, and ditch any unhealthy foods in your house. You can't eat what you don't buy. Don't dwell on what went wrong, we all have setbacks from time to time. Instead focus your energy on moving forward. Stay…

Sounds like you're off to a good start, and you came to the right place ! Lots of support and motivation here. :smile:

a little red wine with dinner (usually 1/2 glass) several times a week. On my Saturday cheat day I'll have 2 glasses.

Originally from the Bronx, lived my whole life in NY. The weather depressed me so much I moved to Florida 5 yrs ago.

I know exactly how it affects your activity level, I have 3, and do all the work myself. Add me if you like !

I never thought I would enjoy Yoga, but started doing it several times a week after a tight psoas muscle was making my life miserable. I wish I had started it a whole lot sooner. Improved balance, flexibility and best of all my pain is gone ! Add me if you like, I would love some yoga buddies :smile:

Hello, and welcome, I'm not too far from you ! Add me if you like.:smile:

Hi , it's great to see all the riders here. Here's a quick story- For Xmas last year my BF wanted to get me Botox. I was kinda shocked, but I said ok , what the heck. While we were driving there I was wondering why we were going to Ocala, and not somewhere closer. He pulled into a beautiful equestrian center and surprised…
