Getting enough water?
How bad is ice cream? Damn, I've had it the last two out of four days. Three scoops. Sooooooooo gooooooooooooooooooood! My diet has been fine otherwise, but damn it's so hard to resist with this heat.

Have yogurt instead of ice cream. It tastes as sweet and is much healthier for you.
I feel achey and get cold sweats. Like early symptoms of the flu. It also tends to go hand in hand with stalling in an exercise for me. I take a day or two off weights and feel greatWhat are symptoms of overtraining? Last day I've been getting dizzy while standing or when laying down or sitting to standing. Pushed extra hard this week.
Hello Fitness GAF, just wondering but could some of you guys recommend food to eat on a diet? I'm not asking for a full day meal plan, I just want some suggestions on what some of you guys eat during a diet. And it's actually something you like. What I've always struggled to do, is find healthy food that I can eat 6 times a day without repeating certain meals. Some of what I eat now is a turkey sandwich, protein bar, protein shake with fruit, and a few other items. Is that ok for now or do I need to mix it up?
the only problem with that is that yogurt is not ice cream.
12 hours until my first triathlon sprint. Getting pretty nervouse right now!
So GAF I'm thinking about adding Insanity as my cardio. I don't like running or using the cardio machines at the gym. I'm currently following SS. The only problem is I'm wondering if doing insanity is adding too much.
Froyo is pretty ace.You're absolutely right. Its much better than ice cream.
Yes, a sprint. I am ok with the swim and run as I have been training those regularly. The biking is what worries me. I am a strong biker in the past but haven't biked much recently.Triathalon...sprint? Oh my

Can you heavy lift with carpal tunnel?
I DID IT AGAIN. WHY CAN'T I STOP EATING BADLY. MOM'S BIRTHDAY. HAD CAKE AND TWO MINI CANNOLIS. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. GOING TO LIFT NOW. GOT A BAD NIGHTS SLEEP BUT IM MAD.
Just went to Olive Garden, don't even want to know how many calories I ate.
Anyways know any good lifting gloves my old ones are going to fall apart any day now.
Well I may not get to the gym much this 2 weeks period, but I'm hitting my cardio and such harder than ever. Did sets of burpees and pullups, then ran a mile, then biked 16 miles. Feels awesome. Going to hit it as hard as I can these few weeks. I think when I'm done bulking this fall as part of my cutting I'm going to train to theoretically do a triathlon. I know my time would never be great, but just finishing something like that would feel awesome.
I definitely want to bulk this fall, but I'm going to keep working on my conditioning as well, even if it hurts my overall muscle gains. I want to be big, but I want to be in crazy good overall shape. I see what Shogun is talking about.
After a 9 year layoff, I started working out again in late May. I was (6 foot) 231 lbs of shit and softness.
Got on the scale today and I was 199.
First time I have been under 200 pounds since 2004. Feels good. My goal weight is 180 so lots of work to go.
What did you do in terms of diet and workout?
Real simple stuff.
Quit drinking pop (used to be about 1 liter a day), no more fast food, no more eating after 11pm.
Threw away my office chair. Stand all day at work.
Drink LOTS of water (with the help of Mio), all day long. 6-8 bottles a day.
5 days a week at the gym. 1 hour cardio, 30-40 minutes weight training and 15 minutes in the sauna. My main focus is on keeping my heart rate elevated the whole time (140-160). So, I take little rest when I am weight training and mix it up constantly. I go late at night (9p-11p) so it's not busy either.
Yea, I'm building my way up to more cardio. When I started back in May, I couldn't even run a full mile without walking for a good portion of it. Now I am running 3.5 miles without stopping.
I signed up for a 5k at the end of next month.
Maybe I need to start mixing in some cycling, just for variety.
Try Pike Pushups for a great bodyweight exercise.
Pike Pushups You can also elevate your feet up on a bench or something too to make it even a bit harder.
As always, I'm a fan of the cardio you can stick to. Dance Dance Revolution is my top choice, along with just long walks or bike rides. Not as good as HiiT though DDR mimics it well, but I know I enjoy such things and will stick to it.
That said, Insanity may impede progress a bit.
Insanity is incredible cardio, but like Petrie says it might conflict with your strength gains if that's your goal. I'd likely do a hybrid with some resistance days and some Insanity days for your cardio, versus the Insanity nearly every day a week (sometimes twice a day) schedule it suggests unless you are solely interested in weight loss or boosting your cardiovascular health, which it excels at. It's also fairly easy to hurt yourself doing it so I recommend warming up for ten minutes prior to starting some of the more taxing routines if you try it.
I'm going on vacay at the end of the week too, but I'm going on a cruise with the girlfriend. I can't wait to see what kind of gym they have on the boat lol.
Regardless, I think it will be cool to work out in the middle of the ocean.Probably a bunch of machines bolted to the floor lol.
