Re: Health and Fitness Thread
I nearly accomplished my goal -- in two weeks I'm down 8lbs.
Although I did take a rather large deuce later on after weighing, so who knows, maybe I made the full 10!

Thats honestly like the best routine you can do. I felt so incredibly healthy and I got in awesome shape.
Then my ex broke up with me and I started watching lifetime and eating ice cream all the time and I got fat again.

Re: Health and Fitness Thread
I went to the gym today after a long, long break. I did a 5 minute warm up on the treadmill. I dabbled in some weights for 10 and then I did 60 minutes on the arc trainer. A few times my heart rate was in the 170 to 177 zone  . Afterward, I cooled down on the treadmill for 15 minutes.
Oh my gym is doing this mid-summer Olympics thing. You can win prizes like a b12 shot, $350 gas card, 6 months free of membership dues, 1 hour massage, and some amount of money off your membership dues for life. It costs $5 to join the "contest". Some of the goals though are like losing 8 lbs in one month and reducing your body fat by 2% or attending 20 classes. I think its a great motivational tool. I'm considering joining; however, I'll be depressed if I don't reach a goal.

1) You don't have the heart. Running far doesn't = heart. As for looking like a man unless you hit the weights hard, you won't.
2) If you're good you stay pretty |

edit: i forgot to add that after the 180 turn you repeat the process again to land back on your original side/spot...the whole move is done in one go |
