Exercising

What do you normally do for exercise? I usually run on the treadmill for 45 minutes. I'm starting to go to the gym with a personal trainer, and she has me doing weights, also. What do you do?

I love being on the crosstrainer (alyptical) i usually do it for like an hour, but i also do basketball (during the season) and sprinting works wonders. also, i do pilates and yoga, it helps, and Slow, long distance running, like during X country season (or whenever ) is probably the best thing i do. so slow,long distance running is what i'd suggest, and it seem like youre probably already doing it.

Gym- couple of time a week
gymnastics- 2 hours a week but recently 5 (i'm a coach, not competitive anymore!)
tennis
swimming- lifeguard so have to train!
golf (does that count?)
badminton- when i can be bothered
squash- as above

I usually exercise between 4-6 days a week. Either at home or at the gym. I usually do the elliptical, treadmill or take a step or kickboxing class. I try to do pilates every other day or some sort of light weight routine. Very light-like 3-5 pounds.
I'm too intimidated to use the weights or weight machines at the gym. I should probably get a trainer too.
Let me know how that works out for you.

Good luck!

oooh Beer- i love Badminton! you get NO work out whatsoever but its so fricking fun!

I HATE exercising, and its starting to show. I like to swim for fun during the summer. and I figure when you go sleding in the winter, walking back up the hill can be considered exercise right?

I try and work out everyday. I usually do a half-hour (give or take) of cardio first. Then I work on biceps, triceps, etc. Finally, I do crunches for about twenty minutes.

Aigoo, if you drink protein shakes and then go run or lift weights, you'll gain muscle and not loose so much weight. my brother used to be scrawny, but he did that and is really muscular now. he had the same problem.

haha, that explains it all.

surf, swim, soccer

Of course. Now, all you need to do is pay our expenses to/in Hawaii. It's the only place to learn.

Good cardio, and a light jog. Try to always keep your routine new, and fresh. If you get tired of it, or used to it, you'll lose the drive to exercise. Always remember to warm-up and cool down before and afterwards. But most importantly remember to BREATH!
Without that, the lean muscle tissue won't get supplied enough energy and therefore you'll get tired faster. Keep your heartrate up at all costs, but if you feel dizzy or tired you should probably stop. Think of your body as a fireplace, to keep the fire going you need wood, the wood is your body getting exercise. To burn the fat you need to develop the lean muscle tissue that ,over time, you will gain if you keep fueling the fire (moving and keeping your heart rate up). Remember to have fun, and be consistant. To increase results eat healthier. You don't have to go on a complete diet, just eat smarter. The more you exercise and eat right the smaller your stomach will get. Besides, after your done you feel like you accomplished something and you feel good about yourself for the rest of the day.
