Stef...yeah i dont think you will get bored of it as long as keep yourr Ipod going. I think it would be great to train on the actual bike you ride on in the summer. i got a few body buiding tricks i can share with you. like Pre exhaust method (its a killer) What you want to do is have two machines (or weights) set up for one muscle group. Aim for about 15-20 reps untill you can do NO MORE at all and with out a rest switch machines. For example 16-20 bench presses until u fail then go straight to flys. 6 sets of that and youll be feelin it:)

Dibaby........i hear you about being baaaaddd. I partyed a little too much too. But im really proud of you for getting back on it!!!!! I keep telling myself today .....the partying is OVER! and there is just candy everywhere here at my inlaws.

Thanks juli...maybe a tri athlon...they do one every year at my y and its a big deal. 15mile ride, 3 mile run ..1/4mile swim..not to bad. Only thing is the swim is in lake michigan Brrrrrrrrrrrr even in August. I was thinking of maybe volunteering to help so i could see how the whole thing goes down.

Ok im joining this thread. I read it alot as you guys are hilarous. I started adding cycling to my rountine at the Y because i really want to be able to ride in the spring. My first problem: I can only do 20mins max as i cant feel my butt (and other things) after that time. I walk around and lift some weights for a break and then do another 20 mins. I swim and run too but im really really hoping as my weight goes down this wont be such a problem. Did any of you experiance this at first? Thanks......

Hi....Good job on keeping the workouts up...JM you better get over there :eek: i really interested to see how the bike trainner works out. Today i went back to the Delaware Y cycled for 40 mins. I can only do 20 mins at a time as i cant feel my butt after 20mins (and other things!) . Between them i lifted weights and then did 40 mins swimming. I feel like a total wuss not being able to ride longer than 20mins a shot. They did have really cool bikes though with screens and kind of a video game almost where you ride a track and against other bikes and you have to steer it round the track (the handlebars move) and change gears for hills. Angel....my wife and i are both interested in your whole recovery so keep us posted and get better!

You go Karen! Keep going...midnight? lol...you make sure your safe out there! Wombat!!!!!! I am excited for you! And your family! Tell me how you did as soon as you can! Today im in Delaware visting inlaws so i worked out at the local Y but i managed to do my 30 min jog at about 4.6mph. Then i rode the bike for 10 mins and swam for 45 mins. Now just to encouage you people im about 348 and i can still do 30min runs now! Now way i could of done it on week 1 i would of totally collapsed. Advise for Wombat...go SUPER slow when you jog today. Its going to more about building your joints and muscles up then it is burning cals and going fast.

you go steff!!! Im putting you down for an hour....hope you didnt get cold turkey butt.

Here is one from the Dayton USAF museum in OH

ok here is my random picture. This is from a NHL hockey game a buisness friend took me to. Its in Columbus OH the Blue Jackets? My first every hockey game. Sure was fun.

you go Karen!!! Let us know how it goes. Wish i could be there to cheer you on! Some of you that know me know i like to post random pictures sometimes. Here is todays workout. This is 30mins running. As you can see i go so slow i got a while before i can make 3 miles or 5k. But it does get easier.

Wow Jm...that was some workout!!!! Ok today....ran 2.5miles...biked 5miles.....swam...1/2 mile...

Angel nurse...Glad you made it though ok! Good to hear from you. You rest yourself lady. Jm yep i am...espically if i do the Boston show in 08! Ok tonight i did 60mins on the bike. 15 miles. I had to take a 3 min break ever 20 mins as my butt went numb..but i love to my riding my real bike in the spring. Tomorrow is running as long as we dont get to much snow. anything less than 8 inches is considered normal round ere. Jess....kinda weird..but i wasnt going to go to the gym today but i decided to dedicate my ride to you and your Dad. Take care my friends...Until tomorrow!

I ran at the y for 30mins and got my speed up to 4.6mph. O the machines at the y are SOOOO much nicer than the ones in my crapy hotel,

Oh gosh Jess. Im so sorry. That is really sad. Let us know if there is anything we can do. I cant imagaine a world without my folks in it. Thats got to be so difficult. Our prayers our with you.

hi ladys. Got back home last night. Did 2.5 mile run...swam for 30mins. Have to fly out again on Christmas Day. But i should be able to use the ymca in delaware. I hear you about missing a day Jess. O here is a great loss. between Sun and yesterday (thurs) i lost 6 pounds while i was traveling on buisness.! And i blew up the hotels treadmill!

Julie i just got back from Ohio, I have to go there for buisnees, One week i do cincinnati then colubus then Cleveland then Toledo. YEs it really works!. I can run for 30 mins now every other day. I still go slow as im still heavy but as an example between Sunday and thursday this week i dropped 6 pounnds! I do some swimming also. I started it in October and no way did i think i would be able to go 30min run then! But now i can do it! you should see the looks i get at the Y when this big ol guy can go 30mins. I run (jog) at 4.5mph right now which is slow but i can make it. I would run outside but im just too embrassed at my weight. Keep it up ppl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
