Funny but I just came from the gym. When I go to the gym I wanted to do inverted sit up on a bench that couples with free weights. Someone had left a weight bar above the bench. No one was around so I proceeded to remove the bar. Then a guy comes up to me and tells me he's doing a circuit and is using that bench. I told…

Hi, I'm a runner and have suffered from shin splints for many years. After taking a break from running I began training for a half marathon. But I became concerned with the idea of developing shin splints again. There are several YouTube videos on curing shin splints and exercises to prevent shin splints:…

I'm 55 and I hope someone out there considers me hot...

I can by of support. I'm training to do a run next month and also need some support. Feel free to friend me. Why a new profile and not just update you're old?

a great pair of legs

I'm a runner who's had shin splints before. Currently I'm pain free. There are a few YouTube videos which talk about exercises to heal shin splints. I've tried them and they do work! The bottom line is you have to strengthen, stretch and exercise your shins to prevent injury. I stretch my feet when I'm siting down and…

With P90x you have to purchase some equipment. Not much: a pull up bar, some hand weights, exercise bands (kind of like big rubber bands) and a yoga mat. I found that by joining a gym I could benefit from using their equipment and having people around me to motive me in working out. Plus I found out the gym I belong to has…

Hi, I tried P90x for 1 week. You have to be highly motivated and very disciplined to accomplish the training. If you looked at the training program, part of the training is your diet. I have read several folks remark the diet is just as hard as the actual exercises. I assume insanity is the same. I would recommend you find…

absolutely!

I run in the city streets of Columbus, Ohio. Dull and boring!

too many days, not enough!

Hi, I've been running for a long time and occasionally develop shin splints. There are YouTube videos that show how to massage your legs to heal your shin splints. The procedures detailed are actually very good as they have helped me. Search "shin splints" for videos on treatments. Hang in there!:happy:

Hi, Count me in. I've been on this site for a few short months and have actually gain a few pounds. But I'm also training to run a half marathon next month so I'm concentrating more on my running and spending time on the gym then losing weight. Jim

I experience the same problem only occasionally. I only notice this when I'm exercising hard and my bmp is over 160. I'm not concerned because I lower my intensity and the heart palpitations go away.

Your calorie goal is predicated on the amount of calories you consume. However, if you exercise MFP lists how many calories you burn for the type of exercise you do and the amount of time you work out. Example, your goal is 1200 calories . You work out and you burn an additional 700 calories. When you plug in you workout…

I'm training for a half marathon and started drinking protein shakes before and after my runs. Now, even when I don't run I have a glass of the protein shake in the morning for breakfast. It has so many nutrients that I might miss during the day's meals.

Hi, First set a specific day and time to weigh in and keep track of it. I have a scale in my bathroom and weigh myself every Friday morning after my shower. Second, keep up with your training program. You seem to be doing great! If you have lost 5 inches all over you should be toning up. Third, you may want to reduce the…

You have to enjoy what feels right to you and what satisfies you. I have always liked to drink ice cold products. I grew up that way. Now when I run I crave ice cold water after my runs. Room temperature water does not satisfy me. My sons on the other hand, who have played sports all their lives, prefer room temperature…

Start a tradition. If you like pasta, pick out a restaurant that serves great pasta and go there, even if by yourself. Running has to be enjoyable so enjoy every moment. I have run many 5ks, 4miles, 5miles, 10ks, 10miles, half marathons and marathons. Currently I'm training to run in the Columbus Marathon, half marathon…

I use to smoke. The problem I had was stress at work and a lack of any motivation or physical activity to help me quite smoking. So earlier this year I quite my job, took up jogging and quite smoking overnight. I am now training to run in next month's Columbus Marathon, half marathon division. I'm up to 10 miles. I also…

I am 100% heterosexual male and I do care. Homosexuality is not a disease, illness, condition, malady or ailment. Homosexuality is undeniable. I have known many good men and women who are homosexuals. Their love stories rivals the best heterosexual love stories. Homosexuals are being denied rights which mirror the same…

My goal for tomorrow (Sunday) is to run 10 miles. I'm training for a half marathon next month. I'm up to running 9 miles. Unfortunately I'm not losing any weight :(

I am training to run a half marathon next month. I ran 9 miles yesterday and thought I didn't have anything left in me to run today. but I actually ran 5 miles today. A good win.

the fact you were able to go out there and complete the run is a tribute to your character. Keep up the good work!

Outstanding! I love running 5ks. Everyone at these races are great. I hope you run more of them!

Hola, According to Lani Maulrath, "Resistance training with lighter weights and higher repetitions or heavier weights and lower repetitions can produce similar muscular responses…as long as the exercise set fatigues the muscle within the limits of the anaerobic energy system",…

Welcome back! I've been on this site for a few weeks. I feel pretty good and am only trying to lose weight because I have a half marathon coming up in October and don't want to carry all that extra weight. I have found that I am very disciplined during the day. It's only in the evening that I start to lose control. Snacks…

I agree with the notion that no one is forcing anyone to eat at any of these restaurants. And as for portion control, I'm all against that. I prefer going to a restaurant where the meals are extravagant. I've been to five star restaurants where more plate is shown then food.

Get up and make a nice cup of coffee and invite the intruder in.
