What exactly is interval training? Can you tell me of an example I could follow to try it? Cheers, Sean

About weights before cardio. I understand you move more weight if you go this route and thus build bigger muscles. And, I understand that this burns off glycogen and so leaves you with fat to burn for cardio. That makes sense. Here are my thoughts, see if they make sense. It has been said that this approach will cause a…

I have read do strength first and cardio after that, if you want to build muscle. The reason is that you can move more weight with glycogen stores intact if you do strength first. Plus, apparently, if you use up the glycogen in strength training, then you are likely to burn more fat in cardio afterwards. Cheers, Sean

Garden salad with feta and salmon. Yum!

My goal is 1340. If I don't exercise, I really struggle to meet that goal. I find that 30+ minutes of exercise gives me extra calories to eat, and I need that padding. Although, sometimes I eat under 1340, just not usually often or by a lot. So, I recommend fitting 30+ minutes of exercise into your day. Cheers, Sean

I like food and beer and didn't exercise much. That's pretty much it.

Hi, SW 219. W1 (7/1) 217. W2 (7/8) 213. W3 (7/15) 211 Down 2. Phew. Was worried. I had the best burger on Tuesday, at Max Burger in West Hartford, CT (http://www.maxdiningcard.com/data/menu/BurgerMENU7711.pdf). With beer. It was so yummy! Cheers, Sean

AWESOME!! Into the 100s!!!

Only had them for two days: so far they're great so far. I was the same size in Adidas and Saucony, and my Puma soccer shoes are the same size too. Cheers, Sean

Tuesday I bought my first ever pair of Nikes. Pegasus 27+. Got them at the running shoe store http://www.fleetfeethartford.com. :)

Hi, I went here http://www.fleetfeethartford.com. They did a great job figuring out what my needs were and they are into running. I strongly recommend you find and go to a running store for your first purchase at least. Expect to spend $90-$110 for a good pair of running shoes that matches you needs. In the store, you get…

I work with machines three times a week and one day a week free weights. I work for about 30 minutes each time.

Send it back and buy one with a power cord.

But, is there a better way to get potassium than bananas? I'd say eat fruit, a better food than Doritos, but in moderation -- watch and log your portions. Cheers, Sean

Weight is one measurement. And, if weight goes down, the other measurements will, too. For me, anyway (not being a body builder). LOL

I certainly did! lol

Hi, What do compression shorts do for you? Why wear them? Won't they unflatteringly accentuate my belly? Cheers, Sean

Interesting article!

At my gym, the Precor Elliptical tells me I burn about 700 for about 40 minutes. For more reference, try plugging numbers into this: http://www.self.com/calculatorsprograms/calculators/caloriesburned/elliptical_trainer . Cheers.

Will try ... not quite understanding the movement.

My wife says they don't work. Plus, you can't really run in them. Cheers, Sean

Right!!

Thanks Mandy!

Thanks. I try for two sets of 12-15 followed by 12 and if I can do that I go up 10lb. I make sure that third set kills .... Cheers, Sean

Thanks and great job!!

BTW, did you cut out beer, wine, and liquor, or no? Sean

Excellent! I'm doing a very similar thing ... hopefully will see very similar results. Cheers, Sean
