What kind of things do you do for your abs? | |
DangereuX posted: LOL. Fyi though hun, ellipticals do pretty much nothing for you. Yes, its low impact, yes you burn some calories but in the long run to loose weight it is a waste of time. This has come out of my trainers and friends that are personal trainers mouths. You get a much more effiecent workout/cardio session running/cycling for 30 mins. Think of ellipticals as saftey blankets for people who want to work out but not hard. If you are just starting, start slow. Do one cardio session 3x a week. Start by running/jogging as long as you can. Aim at 10 mins of straight running. Then 15 the next week. Then get up to 20min if you cannot run good. Then the other 3 days do a weight training program. Go to bodybuilding.com to get an idea. And save one day for all rest. Remember though, to get in shape you need to eat right and cut out junk/over processed/fast food. Movitvation/discipline/dedication is HUGE too. If you ever need help or questions, feel free to ask. I know way to much on this because I love it so much Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/14/2009 09:11AM by herxmurder. | |

Just got back into my yoga & ballecore & I feel wonderful.
 Now, if only I can get my butt out of bed in the cold darkness in the mornings for my run… | |
forkintheeye posted: Nice! Yoga drives me wild though. It actually makes me angry/irratated. Its too slow for me. I need stimulating things like cycling/kickboxing/sports/running. The slowest thing I could tolerate was ballet when I took it for 2 years in college. | |

i just quit my yoga class. too slow. drove me nuts. i did come out more flexible, but hell, i can do thoose stretches at home.
herxmurder, i'm gonna try running when i go to the gym in a min. i hope it'll pay off....the only thing about running vs elliptical is that the elliptical is easier on my ankles and shins. running kills my legs because of the impact. but i'll try | |
