I NEED A VOLUNTEER...ASAP
Hello, Folks: Earlier this week, I learned that I have a terminally-ill relative, for whom I am going to be hands-on caring for over the next month or two. At this point, I need to drop anything that is not critical. Is there someone on this board who would be kind enough to post the daily workouts for the remainder of…

Hi, Everyone: Today's workout is the same as W9, D1. However, my body is still killing me from Monday. Anybody else feeling any aches? Although I have not lost much weight as a result of this program, my inches have gone down for sure! I give my 208 lb. body CREDIT for having survived so far! Be nice to your body. :) Here…

Happy Freakin' Friday, Everyone! The weeks are flying. I cannot believe that February is almost over nor that we are already FINISHING Week 7.

Happy Friday, everyone! Today is the final workout of Week 6. I seem to do okay with the shorter jogging intervals, but when it comes to "extended" jogging, I choke.

Good morning, everyone! I was so relieved when I looked at the workout for today -- the first workout of Week 6. I did not make it through 20 minutes of jogging last Friday, but I am moving on to Week 6 in the hopes that I can nail it next time. If not, I will repeat Week 5, D3, until I DO get it. Here is today's workout.…

Running vs. Jogging
I found this Livehealthy.chron article very interesting! I prefer sprinting vs. running or jogging. Which do YOU prefer? You might think running and jogging mean the same thing, but in fact they are actually different. The obvious difference between the two is the pace. Jogging is defined as going at a pace of less than 6…
