Yeah!!!


***Hey run around the block once or twice for me too.....***

haha Patti
if you weren't so busy with school I'd chase ya around the block once or twice with a cooking spoon, just for the fun of it ;)

way to go JASG

I've been doing my own hardcore thing (well, hardcore for me) for the last 3 months. And I'm right there with ya, I haven't felt this good in over 20 years. Well, except my thigh, today, the physio-terrorist damn near killed me last night. But the rest of me feels good!

Physical activity that gets ya breathing heavy, is supposed to help everybody, but I'm thinkin especially divorcees :)

Oh for sure it is amazing how it can lift the mood and change ones whole outlook on life.

Oh no, absolutely no running for me! ;-) I had my right knee scoped in '86. I avoid anything too shocking or that places too much lateral stress on the knees.

Matter of fact I take an ibuprofen with a banana 30 or so minutes before working out and ice the right knee for 15 minutes or so after I cool down.

As far as hardcore Joy, I'm definitely not ramping it up just yet. I'd really like to get some good core work in, but I don't think my knee is ready for it just yet. Absolutely no power cleans, squats or deadlifts just yet!!! I'm doing some light chest, shoulder and arm work on the bench, situps and crunches on an inclined bench and lots of leg extensions and leg curls for the quads and hammies.

Amazing, isnt it JASG? Congrats! Keep up the good work!

my trainer would give you a smack for doing sit-ups, she keeps telling me they're bad bad bad for the back

I work with a trainer every second day, and do cardio on my own every day in between. I've never been a runner, but one of my goals is a mini marathon in the fall.

I thought I had a bad knee, but it turns out I just need physio on the muscles and tendons...hence the torture last night.

Too bad we can't do a DS fitness meetup. Might be fun :)

ya, and then there's Namaste and Doxie28, they're our resident ninjas

I wouldn't be surprised if there are some more in attendance we haven't heard about yet :)

Im a ninja?? :)

Hehehehe and JASG is just across town from me...maybe I can talk him into visiting the ninja octagon where I get my arse whooped by my trainer. Free entertainment, none the less :)

hahaha "free entertainment"

I'd go...on a Sunday ;)

Run, Run Away......

(and I need to after posting that....)

I've got a cast-iron stomach and a titanium back! ;-)

When I get back in shape I'll start with push sit-ups. Your trainer would probably burn me at the cross for that one!

And yeah, can't forget aerobics. Stretching/agility Mon-Friday in the morning, resistance Mon, Wed & Fri evening, aerobic Tue, Thur, Sat & Sun evening.

Oh, and I did earn an orange belt in Taekwondo many moons ago. The next step was a black belt program and at the time I just didn't have the available time to do it justice.

MMA namaste?

I can't hear ya, my ears are bleeding right now.

Muay Thai :)

Growing up I couldn't get enough movement, 3 times a week at the gym (quite different in the 80's and in Rio), walk 8 km every day between beaches, a full "religious" schedule.

Now, my brain exercises more than my body. Crazy life.
