I would love to help, but I am barely getting mine right, I would hate to mess you up with bad advise. Have you tried I-shape.com, or body for life? I think they would be excellent places to get a beginning routine. You most likely will benefit from just about anything now, I would say a couple sets, high reps, lower weight and lots of cardio to start. Then once your muscles have become adapted you could go from there.
Topic: Beginner seeking workout suggestions...
I'm brand new to this board and have recently hit my 5 month plateau. I am looking for a good workout to get me moving again. Been walking, but feel I am ready to upgrade to some bodybuilding and weightlifting. I used to do it Pre-pregnancy 12 years ago, and enjoyed it thoroughly. But, it's been awhile and I can barely remember the routines. I used to do 3 sets with about 10-15 reps on lats, abs, bi's, gluts, curls, and leg lifts. But with such a long time period between then and now what do you all recommend. Any suggestions welcome, and thanks......Lovey

I am so sorry. My mom went through this too. She had posted ads everywhere, and a lady from the water dept (out reading meters) found her and took her to the animal shelter. But she was gone for about 3 days, and mom had just moved into that neighborhood, so I will hope and pray that a good samaritan finds your doggie and turns him in somewhere.
I think you've done what you can. I hope he comes home. Let us know what happens.
I know it kinda overshadows your AWESOME BMI, but that is great! And met a guy huh? Ok, we need details, lots of juicy details! 
BIG HUG

Topic: RE: missing
aww =( That is terrible. I am so, so sorry about your dog. Keep posting the pictures and going door to door. Did you get your dog from a breeder? Sometimes they are the experts on setting traps to get back dogs using owners clothes, etc. I know our sheltie breeder gets called in every once in a while to assist with owners that have lost her dogs. One time my yellow headed amazon parrot, Max, flew away when we had the front door open. I thought we would never see him again. Two weeks later he turned up at a neighbors house that looked similar to ours. We were running ads in the local paper and they reponded to the ad.
Topic: RE: recommended pre-op workout routine?
Hiya John,
You know, I really question how to *accurately* determine my precise MHR to gauge interval training. My RHR is in the 50s, but I can workout for a long time and push my heart rate up to the 160s and more without even feeling winded, though it takes a while to get me up there, once I get up there I tend to hover up there in the 160s and 170s without being winded at all and it drops quickly afterward.
I know you can try to calculate it based upon age, which would put me at 181 for MHR, but there are other ways to calculate that, too. Here's a link I found for ways to calculate it. The link is on the bottom of this page in a box that says, Heart Rate Calculator at a site called Heart Zones, which is Sally Edwards' site. Sally Edwards wrote the book called _The Heart Rate Monitor Book_ and has been a guest speaker on NPR before and other places, so I thought her viewpoint was interesting.

Hey guys.
I've been awol for awhile, sorry.
now...something terribly shi**y has happened. My dog Freddy has been missing since Saturday. It's been as low as 5 degrees out and I am just sick. He squeezed his way between the fence and the house, something he has NEVER even attempted in 4 1/2 years. dumb dog. 
He has ID tags with my number, address, and the word "REWARD" in big letters. He has a microchip in him, even. Vets and shelters usually scan lost critters for the chips.
I have papered my neighborhood, driven and walked all over, placed an ad in the paper and on petfinders.com. LAter I am headed to Animal Control (they were closed sunday and monday for mlk).
Any other suggestions?
On the good news list: my BMI is down to 39.9 and I met a cool guy last week at my friend's birthday party.
I'd still rather have Freddy back safe and sound, though.
