I have a similar problem. I've found that varying the types of stretches has helped. Also, I don't think I was holding the stretches long enough. I now do a "20 second count" instead of a 10. I try to stretch first thing in the morning and before I go to bed at night. When I first started, about six or seven weeks ago, I…

I'm a Mexican wanna-be! :smile: (I speak some Spanish, love the food, the music, the history and the people.)

I started week two today. I'm also using the podcast. I have signed up for a 5K race on June 21st, so I need to stick with the program. :smile: Going pretty well so far, but still worried I won't make it through the whole thing. Good luck. Keep me posted on your progress.

I'm trying to lose inches around my waist, so I'm doing abdominal crunches to try to tone up the muscle. Seems to be working, but it's slow progress. :smile:

Wow!! That's awesome! :happy:

:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: Yeah. :happy: :happy: :happy:

Congrats!! :happy:

Ice cream. Can't stop, so I'm just trying to cut down the portion size and the frequency. :smile:

It's just a set-back! You can do it! Hopefully exercise can help beat depressing feelings.. :flowerforyou:

Congratulations! It IS a big deal and you deserve to be proud of yourself! Way to go! :smile:

Sure! Why not? It's exercise that you wouldn't normally be doing every day.

Congratulations!! Keep up the good work. :happy:

Awesome! :smile:

Good job!! :happy:

Me too! (Although I may just steal yours.... :smile: )

Awesome!! (I'm finally back down to the weight I lied about when I renewed my license. :laugh: )

I agree. It's OK to be sad sometimes. Unfortunately, life's like that.... If you get some exercise, even just go for a walk, you will feel a bit better, I promise! :flowerforyou:

Did you eat breakfast? I usually feel much better after I've eaten breakfast.

¡Hola, y bienvenida! ¿Qué tal?

attract hot female monkeys, but.....

I think you give 'em too much credit. Most of 'em will still be talking about it. :noway:

Exactly!! and NOW the media will spend all day talking about how RIDICULOUS it is to talk about it! GRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Thanks everybody! I appreciate the support! :bigsmile:

Congrats man!! Keep up the good work!! :smile:

Well done!! :smile:

Very carefully! (Sounds expensive!) :0)

Just keep going! You can do it. The only problem with a bad day is if you let it stretch into a bad week!

Looking beautiful!! Keep up the good work!

Well, I don't have a scientific answer for you, but I do know that some of the strongest guys I ever worked with were wiry little dudes not big body builder types. My opinion is that if you notice you're getting stronger, you're doing it right. You don't necessarily want to build up a whole lot of mass.
