running/heart rate advice
Today I had an unusal running experience. My heart rate kept spiking up really high. It hit 203 at one point and stayed at 197 for a few minutes before I started to get dizzy and noticed and slowed my speed. I have been running for a good year and this has never happened before. Even in the middle of summer when it was…

Olympic bodies...what's your fav?
I always watch the Olympics. But now that I am on this weight loss journey I find myself paying attention to the body types of the athletes as well as the sports they are playing. It is amazing to see how they are all so in shape, but their shapes are all so different. Sport specific training makes it so you can almost…

over exercising
I think I have been over-exercising. This week I hit a place where I got worse at the workout than better. I feel so tired and unable to do things that were fine last week. The first part of working out always goes well, but the second workout is killer. I'm not sure if I am just having an off week or over-doing it. My…

should you love it or just do it?
I love my treadmill. I love to run, i love to do hill intervals. I always feel good at the end of a run. So there is a part of me that says just stick to the treadmill. But we all know that some strength training is good for a person so i have been trying to add in other things. I tried 6 weeks to 100 push-ups, six weeks…
