I'm "allowed" to run about twice per week. I normally do it once per week, though. I can add two intervals (or, e.g., go from 10 with 20 seconds run to 6 with 30 seconds run) each time if I want. I could progress faster than I do; I just do it as a fun thing and I'm not training for anything. I also have a heart condition,…

I wear fivefingers to run. My program started out with warm ups (side planks, one leg bridges) and then 3 gradually increasing intervals up to my "80%" intensity. One interval: 20 seconds intense run (6.5mph), 1:40 chill walk (2.5mph) On the first go I did the 3 warm up intervals (5, 5.5, 6mph respectively), then 6 regular…

Stone Arrogant *kitten* is my go-to. I do love some Pliny the Younger, but it's so hard to get! In general I like IPAs and sours. Cheers. :drinker:

So....can we go grab a beer sometime? :wink:

Aaaaahhhh great post. Commenting in order to bookmark. :laugh:

I'm normal weight, no family history of hypertension, and had been exercising for several years when 140/100 came out of nowhere and stuck around despite diet and exercise efforts. There's no reason to be sad or depressed; this isn't a personal failing. I think of it in this light: I can take a simple medicine to solve a…

In for checking back on Friday. Good luck!

This.

Unless you use them for lifts. They are, after all, weights.

I've had women compliment my arms and ask what I did to get them. I say I lift. A lot. They reply "oh, I don't want to bulk up." ;asldkjfldsjafds!! :explode:

I read this as "37 Brownie Diet" :blushing:

Amazing, Brittaney!! There is such a change in your face! Keep it up! :flowerforyou:

Panache underwire sport.

Muscle weighs more than 1200 calories of caffeinated water.

Well, if it hurts, don't do it! You should probably talk to a doctor and a physical therapist. :-/

Short answer: yes. How to improve? Maybe if you had 50 almonds. And a whole avocado. And a full cup (or two!) of milk. And maybe keep some of those egg yolks.

OP, I'm going to go ahead and recommend a trainer. You tell them your goal, and they'll give you a routine to do. You can even say you wish to work out at home.

If you have a body, you have a bikini body.

Oh, yeah, I'll add that I bought my Panache sports bra at a specialty store. That's where I buy all my bras these days. They re-measure me every 6 months.

Ok, so as an F cup, the smooshing style bras don't do anything but squeeze you. And you need to be a contortionist to get into them. I need a solid band and underwire. When I was in high school and barely an A cup, a simple pullover sports bra was sufficient. Not so much now. Maybe you could recommend to your friends the…

Send the dessert to me. Problem solved. :wink:

Braaaaaaains need saturated fat. Also, hearts and bones and immune systems and and and... Someone pass the butter. :bigsmile:

Different people will find different things distracting. You don't get to tell people to change to suit you; you get to learn to live with it.

This is YOUR problem, not that of those with whose outfits you disagree.

I wouldn't bother a woman who is actively pushing a baby out! :laugh:

I've been working with my trainer for a year and a half. I see him once every two weeks with the occasional reschedule to three weeks between appointments. He keeps my lifting program in harmony with my medical condition. Without him I would probably run out of lifting ideas and get bored/quit, be completely unproductive…
