I wouldn't add any more cardio but I would add 200 or so more calories every day (or I'd eat like a few more eggs or 3-4 ounces more meat a day in other words).

Damnit, dude.

How am I supposed to follow your posts if you keep getting banned every other week?

I guess I'll just keep my eyes peeled for a Bhuddist screen name with posts about weighted chin ups.

Edit: Just in case there is a pool for guessing your next screen name, I've got my $.02 on "DHARANA"

Push-ups w/45lb plate resting on my back (5sets 25reps each set)
over hand and underhand chins, (4sets, 25 reps, 20reps 15, and 15.)

Whoops!

A quick search just revealed to me that DHARANA already got BANNED!!

So, I'll change my vote to Ashtanga.

75 min Yoga class

 

[double ewe]

thanks for the support ya'll. i do get some training/injury advice from more running-specific sources, but it's sorta more interesting to me to hear about things other people are doing that i'm not (serious lifting, yoga, etc.).

yesterday:

45 min fartlek run. still hurting from 19 in the heat on monday.

today (on the treadmill, so times are a little fast):

800m warm-up
3 x 1 mile @ 4:48, 4:39, 4:32 w/ 1 mile recovery jog in between
2 mi cool-down

it's still not an easy workout, but i definitely felt strong throughout. probably could have gone one more, or pushed all of them a little faster, but it wouldn't have been a good idea training-wise.

45 min spinning class
45 min Pilates class

 

[Ressur]

2 hours full court bball.

 

[double ewe]

yesterday:

15 min warm-up/stride drills
20 min bw exercises for legs/core
10 min jog
8 x 100m sprint drills
10 min cool-down

sprinting on indoor tracks is always a lot of fun. so is scaring joggers.

today (treadmill):

1 mi warm-up
6 mi interval session (.2-.8 mi intervals, w/ jog of the same length as recovery)
pace stayed around 4:30-4:25 for most
800m cool-down

 

[Perpetual Indulgence]

Thursday night:

Sunday:
60 min Spinning class

^ ...why, o why, do sculpting class instructors devote so much time to core?

Building bigger abs, all other things remaining equal, will simply makes ones waist bigger, correct?

And why do they call the class sculpting? The word "sculpting" implies "chipping away". But weight training does just the opposite--you're adding muscle. Diet is what technically does the sculpting.

I think they call it sculpting so it doesn't scare the girls. Oh I don't want to get bulky with muscle some may think. Bullshit, gimme the bulk so I burn more calories. We are doing super sets, compound muscle exercises, deadlifts, skull crushers....the same stuff I would do with my husband at his gym.

My waistline is smaller and I have more of an hour glass shape with all the core work I do. Plus my back thanks me for all the time I devote to core.

Oh the place I go to is called CORE STUDIO

Lol. It always cracks me up how, on the "Exercise Channel" for example, they always talk about "toning", "sculpting", "tightening", and so on.

And what happens is, they create these "weight lifting/cardio hybrids"...which basically equates to both types of exercises done more or less "half-assed". I say, they should put their whole ass into a weight training show, and then once the aforementioned ass has recovered, put it into a cardio show.

Another thing that baffels me is the vast array of "ab machines" out on the market. This perpetuates what I believe is a "myth" about abs. People think if they do tons of ab exercises, that will somehow burn the fat around their stomach. I mean, if a person did hundreds of sit ups without changing their diet, they would surely have great abs, but they would be hidden. So, other than the general health benefits of having a muscular core, they would have nothing to "show" for their efforts. In fact, the extra muscle mass, assuming they didn't lose any fat, would actually make their waist bigger.

Sorry to go on a double posting rant, but...

To some extent, I believe in telling white lies to get people to do what they need to do. For example, I wouldn't have a problem with telling a little kid that eating spinach will make him big and strong like Popeye.

But when it comes to exercise for adults, why do they have to sugar coat everything with vague words like "toning"? Instead of saying that certain exercises will magically "tone up" your abs, why don't they just tell it like it is? Sit ups add big, scary, evil, manly, ugly muscle MASS. Boo hoo. But if you throw in diet and cardio, you will strip away the fat, leaving you with a well-shaped and defined mid-section, thereby giving you a more attractive physique. Yay.
