Running outside. If I'm stuck indoors, Precor's AMT, rowing machines, and HIIT circuits (no machines required!).

"Enough" exercise is very subjective. What are your goals? Fitness? Strength? Weightloss?

Completed. 10/1 - rest 10/2 - 90 minutes volleyball practice 10/3 - 90 minutes flag football practice 10/4 - rest 10/5 - 90 minutes combined warmup and flag football game 10/6 - 45 minutes lifting, 55 minutes cardio, 90 minutes volleyball practice 10/7 - 80 minutes cardio 10/8 - 45 minutes lifting 10/9 - 90 minutes…

Been a few days since I updated. Almost done. Will finish tomorrow if I don't do anything tonight. Pretty sore from yesterday. Also realized my totals went wonky somewhere when I was updating my list on my whiteboard so I re-added all my minutes. Total is correct now. 10/1 - rest 10/2 - 90 minutes volleyball practice 10/3…

Busy week. Didn't have a lot of time. 10/1 - rest 10/2 - 90 minutes volleyball practice 10/3 - 90 minutes flag football practice 10/4 - rest 10/5 - 90 minutes combined warmup and flag football game 10/6 - 45 minutes lifting, 55 minutes cardio, 90 minutes volleyball practice 10/7 - 80 minutes cardio 10/8 - 45 minutes…

Busy weekend. And by busy I mean drowning in homework and studying for exams. I was also pretty sore. Two rest days. 10/1 - rest 10/2 - 90 minutes volleyball practice 10/3 - 90 minutes flag football practice 10/4 - rest 10/5 - 90 minutes combined warmup and flag football game 10/6 - 45 minutes lifting, 55 minutes cardio,…

You got this! Stay focused and you'll be able to finish! Getting past halfway would be an accomplishment in itself since you started almost halfway through the month.

10/1 - rest 10/2 - 90 minutes volleyball practice 10/3 - 90 minutes flag football practice 10/4 - rest 10/5 - 90 minutes combined warmup and flag football game 10/6 - 45 minutes lifting, 55 minutes cardio, 90 minutes volleyball practice 10/7 - 80 minutes cardio 10/8 - 45 minutes lifting 10/9 - 90 minutes volleyball…

Another rest day. I have a migraine. Also fixed my day list, somehow neglected to post one of my rest days so I was a day off in my last post. 10/1 - rest 10/2 - 90 minutes volleyball practice 10/3 - 90 minutes flag football practice 10/4 - rest 10/5 - 90 minutes combined warmup and flag football game 10/6 - 45 minutes…

This one? http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1463062/24-hour-challenge-october/p1

Took another rest day yesterday, had a 60 minute lifting session today. 10/1 - rest 10/2 - 90 minutes volleyball practice 10/3 - 90 minutes flag football practice 10/4 - rest 10/5 - 90 minutes combined warmup and flag football game 10/6 - 45 minutes lifting, 55 minutes cardio, 90 minutes volleyball practice 10/7 - 80…

You need to be more specific as to what you're doing when you're "toning" if you want to enter something comparable to what you're doing.

There's something about running that is very psychological. Couple that with the fact that a treadmill forces you to go a single speed rather than you being in control of your own pace (like on an elliptical) can make it very difficult. I can run much farther outside than I can on a treadmill because I get a lot less bored…

Congrats! Awesome work :D

First rest day in a while. 10/1 - rest 10/2 - 90 minutes volleyball practice 10/3 - 90 minutes flag football practice 10/4 - rest 10/5 - 90 minutes combined warmup and flag football game 10/6 - 45 minutes lifting, 55 minutes cardio, 90 minutes volleyball practice 10/7 - 80 minutes cardio 10/8 - 45 minutes lifting 10/9 - 90…

Thought today would be a rest day but I did a 30 minute circuit after I ate breakfast because my body and mind were refusing to wake up. 10/1 - rest 10/2 - 90 minutes volleyball practice 10/3 - 90 minutes flag football practice 10/4 - rest 10/5 - 90 minutes combined warmup and flag football game 10/6 - 45 minutes lifting,…

Anywhere from 1-4 16-24 oz coffees, usually with half and half but no sugar. I'm a coffee addict and I know it.

I'm lactose intolerant. I use lactose-free skim milk for things like oatmeal and cereal (though I don't really eat either of those too often) and vanilla soy milk for smoothies. I do put normal half and half in my coffee because I typically drink it in the morning, and right after I eat I take a vitamin and a combination…

Saturday and Sunday are probably both going to be rest days. 10/1 - rest 10/2 - 90 minutes volleyball practice 10/3 - 90 minutes flag football practice 10/4 - rest 10/5 - 90 minutes combined warmup and flag football game 10/6 - 45 minutes lifting, 55 minutes cardio, 90 minutes volleyball practice 10/7 - 80 minutes cardio…

Approaching the halfway point 10/1 - rest 10/2 - 90 minutes volleyball practice 10/3 - 90 minutes flag football practice 10/4 - rest 10/5 - 90 minutes combined warmup and flag football game 10/6 - 45 minutes lifting, 55 minutes cardio, 90 minutes volleyball practice 10/7 - 80 minutes cardio 10/8 - 45 minutes lifting 10/9 -…

I embraced it long ago... If I hadn't, I probably wouldn't be able to proudly call myself the "Brick Wall" in flag football :p

I have super broad shoulders. It's mostly my frame, but exaggerated due to the fact that I've been an athlete all my life and lifted heavy in high school. I've learned to not give a **** what people have to say about my build. I've always been chunky but very muscular. Most people just picked on the chunky part even though…

Strength training will help you preserve lean body mass, which will help you preserve your BMR. As for training cardio, if walking is all you can manage right now then keep walking, but push yourself to walk longer and farther on the treadmill. As your stamina improves you can begin jogging if you'd like. You can also try…

+1 This. If you decide on bodyweight exercises, you might also want to check out the app "You Are Your Own Gym" It has a wide variety of exercises and many have variations for different levels of difficulty, and provides structure for your workout.

Yup, Stronglifts5x5 is a great place to start. I spent my freshman year of college lifting with a buddy and made good gains, but there was little structure and too many lifts in one day. I didn't lift at all as a sophomore because I was too busy and wasn't sleeping enough to put that much strain on my body, plus my partner…

10/1 - rest 10/2 - 90 minutes volleyball practice 10/3 - 90 minutes flag football practice 10/4 - rest 10/5 - 90 minutes combined warmup and flag football game 10/6 - 45 minutes lifting, 55 minutes cardio, 90 minutes volleyball practice 10/7 - 80 minutes cardio 10/8 - 45 minutes lifting 9:45 completed, 14:15 remaining

While I do (luckily) enjoy running and going to the gym, I have the most fun playing competitive team sports. I have no idea what I'm going to do when I'm done with college and likely won't have that activity at my disposal.
