Not in my neighborhood. Seriously there are people walking and running all year long. Maybe try a home workout, while not as fun as a WII, might prove useful with some strength training. http://scoobysworkshop.com/beginning-workout-plan/

With starting the C25K, and knowing your goal next September, I would walk on your in between days. Building a great base for running is the key point. Walking will help with soreness, and strengthening tendons along your lower legs. Walk a nice brisk pace either for time or for distance. What's great is you can grab that…

Come on, how does one pick just one favorite ? Mine are : Brouwerij Huyghe Dilirium Tremons Milwaukee Brewing Company Ulao Lowlands High Speed Wit Seasonal....Southern Tiers Pumking is absolutely delicious !!!

New here but this absolutely needs to be 'stickied' at the top. Its worth it just for us non-math people who have to literally calculate out plates for the bars !

I do have another question come to think of it. I am just getting to the point where there is some heavier weight for barbell rows. I am feeling some soreness in my back opposite my front ribcage, below the shoulder blades if you can imagine where I am talking about. I have never done BR's before stronglifts, and just want…

Thanks, and I will definitely be asking questions as they come up for me.

Wait..is that supposed to be sarcastic ? I ask because the gym I go to only has two calf raise machines but like five leg press machines so I usually do some calf presses on the leg machines sorta like the picture above just because I can never get on the calf raise machines ever. Oh course I am usually doing them with the…

Not a gif, but a GREAT pic I found one that should work for you .

Lean muscle uses more calories than fat does, so having more lean muscle you will burn more calories than having fat. That said you will not necessarily build muscle while on a calorie deficit but you can prevent muscle loss while on a deficit by lifting. Again having a clear direction of what you want to do will give you…

Europe...The Final Countdown

Your body will be the best judge of how much you can do in a week, but my opinion that you are going to do 5-6 days of cardio and 3 days of lifting seems to be a lot. You are going to need to let your body rest and refuel so doing a lifting session, then a cardio session in one day is going to exhaust it. What has worked…

I am on a treadmill yet so my path is still the same...ha. I guess it does seem coincidental that the day after squats and deads I am having issues with my legs. Maybe I will have to schedule an extra rest day in between or maybe jump on an elliptical those days instead or something. I have been doing some calf raise…

I don't think so. I think I am still landing mid foot, and still going at a pretty slow pace so my feet stay 'underneath' me more.

You will look back on this day, and never forget your C25K graduation I'm sure at the time it sucked, but what a great story !!

As someone who has been sidelined twice with major shin splints here is the advice I can offer you. 1. IMHO the most important thing you can do when you start running is go to a running shoe store and get a run analysis done . you need to find out if you over/under pronate, heel strike, etc. Get shoes that fits how you…

In the area you live in , do a google search for places offering Red Light Therapy or Collagen Red Light Therapy. A 15 min session once a week can do incredible things for people suffering SAD.

That's my approach. Some days a long steady state cardio session is just what I need, and some days a 30 min HIIT session works for me perfectly. Honestly I feel great after doing either.

I'm only into W7 D2 but yesterday I felt I needed to challenge myself just a little more. I warmed up for 5 min then proceeded to run the entire 5k at a moderate pace and increased speed for the last mile. I finished in 38.40 and I think I think I could have gone longer but I do not want to risk injury. I am kinda sore…

Awesome !! You start getting almost addicted to pushing yourself.

Regarding the 'afterburn effect of HIIT check out this thread for some interesting reading : http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1106134-the-final-nail-in-the-hiit-epoc-coffin?hl=HIIT+epoc#posts-17087597

Comparing Mike Vick to Payton Manning .....not even in the same league or class

Finished W7D1 this morning but I felt really good so I just kept running. I went an additional 11 min or so, but I wasnt paying attention to that because.....I WENT THE WHOLE 5k !!! Now that included the 5 min walking warmup so i technically didn't run the whole thing, but I think I could have. Probably wont try and…

I have read that is hard to transition from treadmill to outside so I have zero illusions about it. I actually don't mind running on a treadmill but if I want to do a 5K I know I need to get some outdoors experience in. I am not in any type of 'rush' if I do need to go back to a walk/run for the transition. My goal is to…

Oh bumping this !!!! Awesome recipe ideas !!!

I am still learning as I go.. These guys who have answered, as well as those they have mentioned are all leaders and points of inspiration !! The one single piece of advice that needs to be tattooed on your brain is that it is a marathon, not a sprint. That single phrase has been echoing in my brain since I started, and…

I run every other day in a C25K program on a treadmill. The ones at my gym are pretty heavy duty and I have seen people much bigger than me (I started at 310 lbs) walking on them.

I second those thoughts. I religiously follow his blog. He is a major point of inspiration !!

There is so much ignorance in this thread its almost ridiculous. Tanning occasionally is no more going to give you skin cancer than drinking a glass of wine or a beer is going to make you an alcoholic. It appears the dermatologist multi-million dollar lobby against tanning is truly working :angry: :huh: If you want to get…

In My Opinion IMHO In My Humble/Honest Opinion

I believe you can get the spicy chicken patties from Burger King and make a BK double down with those. I bet that would be tasty....even add in some Franks Red Hot instead of ketchup. Damn I'm hungry now
