Verde Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 V-are you saying that sit-ups are no good? today I did a mile on the gazelle 10 minutes on the bike with weights and 30 sit ups No.. I didn't say that AT ALL.. What I said was, they are useless if you don't burn the fat on top of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's no way for a winner of 2 JN awards to be talking in this thread! I'm hooked on Star Wars Battlefront II, and I just burned 500 calories today on the elliptical.

Tomorrow I'm definitely getting back to the gym! It's been two weeks and I need to start all over. That's OK since I didn't really start at all with only two workouts before I got sick. So, I'm just filling my ipod with the best club music I can find and making sure there are no lame excuses I can use tomorrow when I get home from work. Ohhh, I DO have the best excuses.

Getting crushed in a race with me would do serious irreperable harm to your psyche and would undo all of the progress that you have made so far.

Actually, I didn't make it to the gym yesterday... worked 'till 7pm and was too tired. Told ya I'd have an excuse! The Mr. and I will be going tonight though. We'll head to the ellipticals and after that kills me maybe the treadmill to cool down. Had a small dinner, but think I need to really change up my eating habits. And obviously get to the gym more then once a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsTaborJet Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Thought this might help those of us struggling to stay on track! From Paige Waehner Personal Trainer - About.com It isn't easy staying motivated to exercise, especially if you're a beginner. In fact, most veteran exercisers would probably agree--some days they got it, some days they don't. If you're trying to lose weight and make exercise a habit, you may be surprised to learn that there's not much difference between you and people who exercise regularly. There's no magic pill that brings discipline and motivation to your workouts. So what do they have that you don't have? It's all in the way you think. The Doldrums With many of my personal training clients, I've noticed some fairly regular trends: After about 6 to 12 weeks, the doldrums set in and that's when many of them quit. While this is not a very scientific study, my experience tells me that something happens after that initial excitement of starting an exercise program. First, the enthusiasm fades. Second, most clients haven't seen significant results yet. The combination is devastating and, many times, this is the moment many people give up. What's so frustrating is that many people quit just when they're on the verge of success...at both making exercise a habit and seeing fat loss. Below are some of the mistakes that contribute to failure to exercise: Focusing on the scale. Weight loss isn't going to happen right away. For some folks, it takes months to see significant changes. When starting a program, it's best to set measurable goals like getting a certain number of workouts in each week or lifting a certain amount of weight. Working too hard. Newbies sometimes go at their new workout programs like veteran exercisers. Starting easy and working your way up to more frequent exercise makes your workouts more enjoyable and gives your body time to adjust to exercise. Not working hard enough. On the other hand, some people don't take their intensity high enough to promote weight loss results. Learn the right way to Monitor Your Intensity Comparing yourself to others. If your friend is losing weight faster than you are, it doesn't mean something is wrong with you. We all lose fat at different rates. Try to keep the focus on the gains you're making, not someone else's. Giving up too soon. If you're not seeing results yet, giving up is the last thing you should do. If you've been working out consistently, you may be well on your way to weight loss. Whether you've seen results or not, you ARE getting something out of exercising regularly. Think better sleep, more energy, better quality of life...is any of this sinking in? Aside from these issues, there are a few other things that stand in the way of you and success. As I mentioned above, the only real difference between a veteran exerciser and a struggling exerciser often lies in how they think. Check out below to see how a successful exerciser gets past exercise obstacles and how a quitter usually handles things. What You're Thinking vs. Successful Thinking! I don't want to workout today vs. I'll just do a warm up. If I still don't want to exercise, I'll stop. This workout is boring vs. Maybe I'll try a new activity--like that spinning class. I'm too stressed out to exercise vs. I'll feel more relaxed if I get in a quick workout. I missed my last few workouts, why bother? vs. I've gotten off track, but I'm ready to get started again. I'll be back to where I was in no time. I haven't lost a single pound vs. If I quit now, I'll never see long-term results. I don't have time vs. I'll do what I can until things slow down. Something is always better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCarl40 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I don't know how many of you Fit Club members are devoutly religious but now being Lent is a good time as any to give up something that may help you lose weight. I mean it's a decent option for some. If you stick to it for the duration then it will be very beneficial. And if you don't you're going to Hell.
