Prob wrong thread but what the heck...Not quite pumping iron but I got my heart racing! The weather was mild in New England (48*) tonight so I went for a 5k with the GF...She kicked my .... Uhm I mean I let her win so her ego wouldn't get shot! :-) Amazing how fast aerobic endurance can go to the crapper..

Hope everyone did something healthy to get their blood pumpin' today. :-)

I got a friend thats been training 16 years and is a nutrition and workout/get healthy god, so i won't be trying to start any debates on here no worrys :P

shoveling snow/sleet mix is a good workout

When you are young....when you get older, it is the key to a premature heart attack. :-)

Looks like us So*Cal guys are missing a good workout :-)

You have no idea! :-)

:-)

Nothing crazy last night...went to the gym and did all upper body till failure. Legs still a bit sore from the 5k jog.

It's been a week since I last did a leg workout. My legs have just now returned to feeling normal (no ache and pain). Ready for round two this afternoon.

Hope you cut your recovery time a little on this one, Andy! :-)

I'm guessing it'll be a lot shorter. I should be able to get back to working legs every other day.

try not to work them so hard and your recovery times will be a lot shorter. I work legs twice a week and incorporate a little leg workout every time I go to the gym. My problem is with squats and deadlifts, I get lightheaded and short of breath. I can't figure it out or get it to stop unless I take a good 1 minute break between sets...:-)

Long recovery time was due to it being my first time working those muscles seriously in almost two years.

oh, yea, I understand that! Been there just a few months ago. But take it easy(lighter weight or just don't do one thing until failure) for a few workouts and your muscles will get used to the work again.

my problem is I don't go to the gym more than 2-3x a week so when I go I feel that I have to do all upper body and assume jogging will help the lower body.

You can go to the gym 3 times a week and get legs in there

thats all I go too. Between school and work it is really hard to get in the gym more than 2x/week for me. Now that school is out for the holidays, I'll be in there 3 to 4 times a week I hope.

I drove an old 77 pick-up in high school that was a manual with no power steering lol. Talk about a beast. When I would get done lifting for football it was always a trip to try to drive that thing home with noodle legs and arms

Been about 3 1/2 months straight (4+ days in the gym a week) now for me in the gym. Finally starting to loose weight. Def picked up some bulk in my arms and chest, my suit jackets are a little tight in through the arms and chest this year :-)

I would love to get to the gym
