General Activity for the day: Run 10 miles, and about 45min of strength + work. That's just general food that I often eat, not every day obviously.

Lyric Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 May I ask what's going on? A lot of times, if I'm feeling a rut, or just a bit, out of whack, I'll take a backpacking trip, or long hike. Just bring me back to center, refocussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyric Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 You may just need some time to get back into the swing of things. I don't think ANYONE would feel like themselves after all of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katheryne Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Yeah, I need a break. I decided to do some online personal training because I have gone as far as I can myself, I need a fresh set of eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcina Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 What are your goals? Weight loss? Muscle gain? Endurance? Strength? Stamina? You should eat and exercise accordingly. Also, therapy might not be a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I would like to gain some muscle, I have excellent endurance but since just having a miscarriage I have a little extra weight I need to shed. Im in limbo.

Marcina Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 If you want to gain muscle, fat loss will have to wait until a bit later.. Depending on how lean you want to be.However, the beauty of gaining muscle is that you burn calories effectively, and you will continue burning them even after your workout. Focus on heavy to moderate lifting, doing no more than 10 reps per exercise. Focus on compound movements such as squats, bench presses, rows, deadlifts etc. I like the K.I.S.S routine (google it)A couple days a week when you aren't lifting, do your cardio. Eat well. Repeat.

BlueRose Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Yeah, I need a break. I decided to do some online personal training because I have gone as far as I can myself, I need a fresh set of eyes. I contended with a new job, two sinus infections, a basement flood from hell, overtime at work, and a ton of personal shit...and all in three months. It practically shoved me in the direction of exercise, which kept my stress levels low and made me feel MUCH better than I ordinarily would have. I became a member and coach over at Team Beachbody, and they have a million programs to monitor food intake, your workouts, message boards, discounts for members, you name it. There's a small but growing vegan contingent there. Shakeology is not vegan (it's a lot like Vega) but there are rumors they will have a vegan version at some point. My recommendation is this: eat clean and workout. By "clean" I mean balanced, healthy, but tasty. Do workouts you enjoy but challenge you. And don't put all of your exercise eggs in one basket.
