Topic: RE: Pre Workout/BCAA's

I used BCAAs for a little bit out of curiosity. I a) felt no different and b) found no evidence supporting their use.

Topic: RE: Office Exercise Tips!

Are you able to swap out your desk for a standing desk? Standing or using a treadmill can be helpful. There are also elliptical things that you can use under a regular sitting desk. Swapping out your chair for a stability ball can also be useful since it forces you to pay more attention to your core (abdomen and back).

Aside from that, walk as much as possible, take the stairs, park your car farther away, etc.

Topic: Office Exercise Tips!

Hi! I am new here.

I just would like to take this time to ask the community about some workout tips while inside the office. I work like 9 hours a day and 5 days a week. I would also like to know if there are new tech or tips to keep me healthy while working? I want to focus more on my health and fitness this year.

Thank you and looking forward to all your tips and knowledge.

Back when I started I live a sedentary lifestyle and the effect was twice exhausting for me trying to utilize my muscles.

Topic: RE: Do certain exercises take a bigger toll of you?

I used to work out daily, jus loved the eliptical level 7 random. With my music blaring in my ears - it was like Heaven. Felt like jogging with no impact on knees. Jus had to relive it, I miss it! But my middle daughter is a personal trainer & she told me when u work ur muscles they tear. So for the workout to benefit u, u need torest a partcular amount of time.

you want to feel a burn not pain, PAIN means STOP. If u injure urself u won't b able to work out. It's amazing how used our bodies get to our worouts. We or u rather (i'm suppose to b in physical therapy) should change our work out routines. Thats y the p90x works so well, its changing up constantly. Lol, I just sit & watch my daughter do the P90x.. Like u go girl!

Topic: RE: 2018 Will Be The Year I Get My Ass Kicked

So - update on the ass kicking.

On Superbowl Sunday I fenced kids I could have given birth to - in fact most of the kids were in the same age ranges as my own girls who are 15 and 18. I came in, when all was said and done, 37 of 49. I was more than pleased with my performance.

I have since been notified that I have qualified to fence a Summer Nationals and the April North American Cup in my own Veteran division as well as Div 2 and Div 3.

I'm going to Richmond in April to fence for three days in three events. I don't care how many times my butt gets kicked, I'm getting better. I have a tournament at my home club in Philly in March.

Thanks for all your support.

Keep on losing!

Topic: RE: Do certain exercises take a bigger toll of you?

My guess is that you don't use it often enough, and use it too hard when you do use it. It's using muscles that aren't used to being used in ways you don't normally move - so it wrecks you.

I'd suggest doing a shorter program and doing it more often and working up to the duration you want.

I always go into new exercise things with the notion of "hey, I'm in good shape, so this'll be fine!" And my body is always like "WHAT THE **** YO, WE'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE!!"
