Just sharing a hobby I enjoy

[esselle]

^Well, my full body hurts after a workout, so I'm gonna go with yes.

cool stuff. i dont dare embarrass myself at the gym with my husband. lol i do my stroller stride workouts a few times a week.

ooohhh...i bet your hubby being in the military has a KILLER workout!
stroller workouts are great. i see many in my neighborhood do those. when my kids were little, i didn't think of that. lol
here's to health, as long as we keep active!

its a lot of fun!! FIT4MOM - Largest Fitness Program for Moms

it is really pretty amazing how much is out there in terms of workout "plans" ...honestly there is something for everyone. Thx for sharing that.

I did Insanity to get seriously back in shape!! Give it a try!!

I've heard of this; I will look into it thanks mishele!

I started weight lifting a little over two years ago, and really love it. I've been a runner for some time, and needed something 'different.' And I found it. Something about gaining in strength, it's empowering, dare I say. Just wanted to share a little slice of my life, with you all. :sillysmi: And if you lift, I'd love to hear all about it.

(Took the below pics of the inside of my gym on Saturday, with my cell)

(Standing up an applausing) that is what I'm talking about! Get some iron. I suggest watching "Pumping Iron". Best documentary ever!

Lifting the weight is the easy part. Creating, sticking and maintaining a healthy diet, hardest **** ever.

Aw you are too kind. :sillysmi: you are so right about the diet aspect! Lifting is fun; it's the diet that can be a challenge! Luckily I like eggs and chicken. :mrgreen: I used to be stricter and working on getting more critical with it. Thx for chiming in tonite. So u lift then I take?

I keep hearing that line from Olivia Newton John - "Let me hear your body talk." Unfortunately, when mine talks it goes "creak," "pop" and "moan."

Back in college (the first go-around, not the last one) I did a lot of lifting - 12 oz. at a time.

I use to be in the best shape in my mid 30's. I heavy weight trained for years,did 16 to 20 mile bicycle trips on weekends. I got lazy after my first son was born and stopped all that.Fast forward 15 years later, I can't walk up a flight of stairs with out huffy puffy and my right knee hurts sometimes. Getting old really bites,don't do it find a youth pill before you need diapers.

I'm a runner myself. Next half marathon this Saturday! I do lift to stay in shape and cross train all the time. I do enjoy the feeling after a good morning workout. I feel ahead of everyone else!

I laughed out loud for real hahaha!! Yea, really. Well that's just it. Take care of the bodies we were given or...the alternative kinda sucks. :/ You make me laugh!

Oh wow, fantastic! I will send you good thoughts and prayers for Saturday! You must create a thread filled with photos of race day.
