well, i put myself for 100 miles a week, and I dont know if I am going to get that or not.

I do have 60 miles in this week, but am going to have to fight the rain first part of the week it looks like,

I think I am going to start walking again at lunch time...maybe 2-3 times a week along with riding. Need to get the scale moving

Hello everyone. I never post on here I just read what everyone else has to say. I dont feel like anything I have to say is anything new or helpful. But I just saw this thread today and I have been wanting to join a exercise group because I need the motivation. I know its late but Ill make it up. I would like to do 30 minutes to start out just to get my body use to it. And then Ill work up to more. But for a few days ill have to workout twice a day to catch up. I hope I can do it. Wish me luck. Got to go charge the IPOD lol .

Good luck everyone!

The swimming is under-reported because I was actually in there and moving around for HOURS... but I try to be conservative when calculating it so I can go for the most/best I can.

7/1 - 30 mins walking

7/2 - 30 mins walking + 20 mins elliptical

7/3 - 60 mins walking + 20 mins swimming

7/4 - 3 hours swimming (2 hours games and leisure, 1 hour laps, treading, and resistance)

7/5 - Zip. Zero. Nada. :tt1:

7/6 - 1 hour swimming, all laps, treading, and resistance

7/7 - 30 mins walking + ________________ (tonight!) :tt1:

Ok I did it.. I started my workout. My body is soo not use to that.. I ran/walked for 40 min. I have a question for all you exercise junkies does anyones "fat" have a painful itch when you are working out? If so why is that? My sides( my hips where all my fat is) my butt and my back fat itches really bad when im running. Also does anyone know a good way to get rid of back fat? I hate it and I dont know how to get rid of it. Its soo hard to hid under clothes.. Anyways til next time.

Meka,

Grats on the new exercise!

The itching is generally from sweat. Sweat carries out bacteria and salts and other elements you don't need in your skin. It settles on your skin on the fine hair on your body and acts as an irritant.

I have heard some say it is a chemical reaction causing fat to break down... but I haven't been able to find much to support it. Maybe someone else will have more, but I stick the irritant more than the instantaneous and noticeable "burn."

As for back fat, it's like any fat. Burn more fat and that will go away. You can't spot treat outside of tucks, Lipo, etc. It will come off when it's time.
