YOu can do it Christine, you just have to pace yourself. The pace not only prevents injury, but it also creates an atmosphere for success because we won't become burned out. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

....I just called to say how much I care.....I just called....to say.... I LLLOOVVEEE YOU! and I mean if from the bottom of mmyyyyyy heart! (Absolute classic). Good to get some love flowing around these parts, we all needed. Greatest love of all, Romans 5:8 8But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet…

Praying first for peace for your sister and all involved. I'm praying also for staff to care for her, who have the heart of Christ. God bless

Oh I almost forgot about those bamas :noway: Yep that's the toughest of all resistance workouts for me. Still getting better at the pullups around 10 switch grip and nearly 10 reverse grip also.

Increase in muscle fiber size. It's what most normal, nonsteroid, world class olympic athletic females try to avoid. It's what most guys at some point want also, but once some achieve realize they're better with more lean strong muscles than large bulky and poorly flexible ones. :laugh:

Welcome back in the fight, we all need motivation. :bigsmile:

Well I won't have those awesome before and after pics, but I do see a difference in 8 weeks. I'll have to be better boy with my diet. Let's get it going now!!!

Cool, sounded like the pelvis. It's all connected from the front via cartilage to the rear (SI joints). Anything gets out of wack and it can cause some serious pain.

Way to go Bunny, keep bringing it!!!

Yep week 5 CS&T is a MONSTER, those side to side pushups, plange pushups and plyo pushups almost made me gag LOL!!! Keep up the good work.

Remember too form and technique are crucial. Also, like Carol said keep the reps above 10 otherwise you're in the hypertrophy phase.

Well it's week 8 starting today for me and I'm in my second recovery week. I'm trying to find an alternative to yoga after doing a little research on it. Plyo continues to be the workout that just kicks my rear end. I think from a cardio stand point I like kenp the best, but it whupped me good Saturday and then I had to go…

Sounds kind of strange to me, definitely some diagnostics will be good!

What she said!!!

Beautiful!!!

Carol I got you email and responded. If you can give me some more details like when it started and was is close to when you backpain started.

You're welcome, you may need more H20. But definitely mention it to you doc, you calves actually insert behind the knee (2 joint muscle) so it's still the proximal part of the calf that's cramping. God bless and keep me updated.

Yep I like the cardio x routine too, it actually isn't as intense to me as plyometrics or kenpo but I still get plenty of sweating and elevated HR.

Keep us posted Carol I'm predicting (2) solid pull ups.

WOW, you look great. Continue to inspire, many of us need it!!!

YOU CAN DO IT, YOU CAN DO DAT UNASSISTED PULLUP!!!

Hey Connie, When I've treated patients with plantar faciitis I've instructed them in a few exercises including: 1. calf stretches 2. towel scrunches (place barefoot on end of towel and curl you toes repeatedly until the entire towel is at your foot 3. marble picup (place hand full of marbles on the floor and pick up a…

Yep, I've made good progress not following the diet guide at all (I have cut back though, not just pigging out and doing p90x with a pork chop sandwich in one hand and coca cola in the other). I know I'm a bad boy, but I'm looking at day 180 for the results I really want. I'm going to finish this 90 and completely abide by…

You B welcome :smile: God bless

Wow this one is tough, being it's really crossing the barriers of medicine, pathology and fitness. My question is are the leg cramps dependent on how much walking you do? Also where are the cramps located? Sounds like you're having what's called either "true" cramps. My suggestions are: 1. Warmup and stretch well before…

Hey man, are you needing advise for the "soreness". If so you may know soreness is a result of (2) things. 1- build up of waste products like lactic acid from muscle overuse (in a good way) 2- tiny micro tears that result from injury (the end result is a muscle adaptation to the stress and hypertrophy results so the muscle…

Hm, at what point does it hurt in motion (straight with weight, knee slightly bent with weight, knee fully flexed with weight). How about if you slightly twist to the left or right :noway: Whatever it is, does not want to heal so my recommendation is to stop working out and get it checked out. An orthopedic doc who can get…

:happy: Tell me about it, if it weren't for the workout I'd be over every day

CONGRATS!!!

Not me bro, I don't usually have a proble reaching my target....nope not me on that one :laugh:
