Oh man, I am sore today. I can do a bunch of sit-ups and never feel it but I do 20 pull ups and 20 dips and my abs are a little sore, not really sore like my butt but sore when I stretch.

NeonFoxRocks · « **Reply #101 on:** May 21, 2009, 11:57:18 am »

Yeah it's a really good idea to switch it up a lot. The best way to overall looking better is to keep changing what you do so your whole body gets a workout you end up making more muscle and the more muscle you have the more base calories you burn a day. It looks a lot better in the end then say, just lifting weights, having buff biceps and a flabby stomach heh.
If you're really out of shape try and just run for like a half a mile then the next day walk a mile or two. My body knows when i'm about to do some exercise and gets in a mode, or at least thats what it feels like, and at first your body might be going wtf are you doing?!

Oh yeah and one more thing don't do strait one thing like 50 sit ups, do like 20 sit ups, 20 push ups and repeat 2-3 times

found out at the beginning of this week sage is going to make me come over to her house practically all summer and we're going to jog around this path at a park near her house. So she can stay in shape, I can get in shape, and she can get tan.

We also plan on going to a river or lake somewhere so I can work out and she can tan even more.

I need to get some new workout shoes! I've destroyed my workout shoes and my running shoes are showing signs that they need to be replaced. I need to find me a jogging partner, so I can start running again or get a Ipod shuffle. Something to distract my body from saying "take a break"

Dapan Chan · « **Reply #104 on:** May 22, 2009, 12:29:04 am »

Maannnnn
I haven't really worked out since Freshman High School PE...
.__.;;;

I really need to get my act together or I'll look like a stereotypical otaku in some shows...
all fat and sweaty and... ... ... somehow I'll gender change to be a man???
XD

Ha ha... then I had this new years resolution to play DDR or Wii fit for an hour... that soon went away...
.__.

Maaannn I really need to get motivated and run or something... or eat better... but alas... I'm too lazy and un-motivated to do either
*shrugs*
Where do ya'll get your motivation other then 'I WANT TO LOOK GREAT IN MY COSPLAY!?'
Because even me saying that to myself = fission mailed.

I just incorporate it with my daily schedule I don't want to pay 75 bucks a month to ride a bus with a bunch of (possibly) sick people on it, so i ride my bike. Running takes quite a bit to warm up to, back when i was running it took me a couple months to actually run for a full 30 mins, but when i got to that point I could run for a very long time, like until my body felt exhausted... Man that felt great =) It was really fun; changing strides, leading (most) of the pack, motivating people I lapped

Sayda · « **Reply #106 on:** May 22, 2009, 08:40:50 am »

Hahaha, I look at people who are in shape, and think a lot about exercising. It's really not that hard to do once you start doing it. It's just getting yourself to do it that's the hard part. I also think about how tired I am of feeling the way I do, and that if I don't want to feel that way anymore, then I have to do something about it.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #107 on:** May 22, 2009, 10:50:26 am »

I woke up this morning and put on one of my smaller shirts and I was very happy with what I saw. I looked great. I feel great, I just need to keep this up for the last three weeks that I am here. After that I can jog in the park and I have a wii fit so something to help me strengthen muscles (not that I need it for that

)

NeonFoxRocks · « **Reply #108 on:** May 22, 2009, 10:56:46 am »

I hate losing weight some times cause i'm right on the cusp of a 32 waist and a 34. So when i work out my 34's don't fit, when I don't my 32's don't. I guess its not that bad, there's always belts =P

Anyways, again for the bike rides. My father and I are doing them every morning now. Boy how awesome it is to wake up at five every morning and be awake super early to feel alive for the day. x3 <3

nikkiolie · « **Reply #111 on:** May 22, 2009, 04:14:39 pm »

UGH that doesn't sound like too much fun. I much rather sleep in and go after school that early in the morning. I will probably do some weight stuff tonight but we'll see.

lightbeam911 · « **Reply #112 on:** May 22, 2009, 04:58:09 pm »

I've lost a whole pound

Heck yes.

Ohoh. I have a tip. Make sure you exercise at one time. It takes 10 minutes for fat to start burning. So if you do 4 15 minute jogs at different times during the day, you only get, what 20 minutes of actual fat burning? The rest of the time all you burn is Carbs. If you do an entire hour at one time, you get 50 minutes of fat burning!

UGH.
I'm so puffy today LOL XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #113 on:** May 22, 2009, 07:19:55 pm »

I need to gain weight maby like 15 pounds.
Then lose it and make some muscles im a skinny dude;S

Kagome219 · « **Reply #115 on:** May 23, 2009, 07:34:36 am »

I got another bike ride in this morning. Looks like things are shaping up for me. (No pun intended. d:) I also started to do three sets of thirty bicycle crunches, twenty sit-ups, and fifteen push-ups. I'm getting there. xD

Hidamari · « **Reply #116 on:** May 23, 2009, 11:44:08 am »

I'm planning on riding my bike to Joann's today, so all should keep progressing =D

JulianaRose · « **Reply #117 on:** May 23, 2009, 12:21:17 pm »

Everyone is doing so good

I'm doing pretty good...haven't really been to the gym in the last couple days but I've been eating pretty healthy and working alot. I'm always rushing around helping customers and lifting heavy boxes. At this rate, I'm confident that I'll be at a healthy weight by the con. At my height I'm supposed to weigh a maximum of 154 lbs. So I just need to lose about 11-13 pounds by then.

StarryShay · « **Reply #118 on:** May 23, 2009, 07:07:49 pm »

Um, I've been doing more Wii fit lately, but I'm alot more lazy now that the track season has ended. xD

BUT

It is also best to work out in small portions throughout the day~
Because if you burn all your calories in one workout then you have to replace them all by eating etc.etc.
Hence why it's best to work out 10 minutes three times a day (which is 30 minutes) five days a week~ : 3 I hope that made sense!

Kagome219 · « **Reply #122 on:** May 24, 2009, 11:02:09 am »

That does. ^^
If you eat too much after exercising a lot, it isn't really doing the body that good of a job. D:

nikkiolie · « **Reply #123 on:** May 24, 2009, 11:47:10 am »

I'm going to get a lot of walking in today. We are going to go to the Rose Festival. After that I have to work more. YAY for excessive amounts of walking.

StarryShay · « **Reply #124 on:** May 24, 2009, 12:25:56 pm »

Yay, walking is good. x3
If it gets hot enough, I'll go swimming today, and if not I'll probably just go on Wii fit for like an hour or so.~

nikkiolie · « **Reply #125 on:** May 24, 2009, 02:53:34 pm »

Well that was fun, going to rest up now before work. I'll probably use the wii fit tomorrow

That makes sense too. I guess it just depends on your eating habits XD I would only burn carbs if I did 3 10 minute sessions. I WANT TO LOSE FAT AUGH TT-TT

Haha, I don't really worry about my eating habits either lol. I eat whatever I want, whenever I want and it's thanks to the high metabolism I got from my dad's side! But that doesn't mean I don't look lumpy in certain areas. I have to exercise really hard to work off my chubby cheeks, neck area and thighs. I also want toned abs and actual upper arm strength, haha~

Paddle ball. It burns OVER 9000 calories.

Or actually just alot

And its so much fun.
You should all go out and get a set (it might be called pickle ball too) when it gets warm and sunny in your area.
Its always more fun to have fun when you want to lose weight.

Today I helped my dad dig a hole, and I spread a big pile of compost around in our garden. I had no idea that you used your tummy muscles for shoveling. They hurt really bad afterwards.

I did a lot of yard work today too. I had to trim a bush with some electric hedge clippers. While I was doing it the power cord got stuck in it and when I turned it on sparks flew by my face x.x

But aside from that hard work I just ate quite a bit of cake, so I may be doing some squats latter tonight to try to work SOME of it off. XD

I've finally started working out again after recovering from retarded injuries (mostly a minor concussion, yuck).

My boyfriend, being the lovely man that he is, has agreed to work out with me so I'm not lonely. We went running tonight though and I forgot that my asthma has started acting up again and I ended up almost having an attack in the middle of the street.
All is fine and well though. We ended up walking for the rest of our run, I just need to remember not to overexert myself for a bit.
Worked on some stomach and arm exercises too, I'm exhausted, but I think that's mostly from trying to fight off an attack :\

As for me, I was swimming yesterday, and afterwards I went on the trampoline..
But on the trampoline I did a front flip too close to the edge and my ankle hit the medal rim, so I think I sprained it or something.

It's great to see this kind of energy and I only hope that I can drop the last 5 or 6 pounds left before I hit the goal weight for my cosplay.

My back feels a lot better today, still hurts but the advil takes all the pain away. I might be up for walking today after my last class. I'll take my gym clothes just in case
