Guest guest Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 > I guess I will always feel a little hungry, but I just reason with myself saying, 'you're not starving to death you can wait'. I do kind of worry if I'm feeling hunger pangs pre-workout. I've passed out at a gym before from not eating prior to my workout and that ain't funny. If it's been 4 hours since your last meal then you *need* to eat something before burning off a few hundred calories' worth doing exercise! Something small, like a whole grain fruit bar, or even a piece of fruit. Hmm, I see you already have a snack at 3:30. Why not save this for the drive to the gym, or eat half at work and the rest before the gym, if you can't afford any more calories? > If I didn't despise celery so much I'd keep that to munch on while on the road to the gym but I hate it. How about some dried fruit, or some granola, or a baggie of dry cereal to munch on in the car as you drive? >I'll have my little energy drink while on the tread, that has a little bit of protein in it. What's the caffeine content? Stay away from any " energy " drink with stimulants, as they'll lower your blood sugar instead of raising it to normal levels. >Post-Workout: OW! Ouch!! Owwieeeeeee!!!!!!!! I only did a mile tonight, my right leg is killing me. I KNOW it's just fatigue and I need to work though it Are you sure? I have arthritis in the spine and besides the neuritis in my neck I have sciatica in the lower half, and lately those Sansone videos just trigger the pain so much that within 5 minutes my right hip is so painful I can barely stand. Treadmill walking uses different leg movements and less impact so it's not *that* bad, but if I increase the incline too much it's just as much force as the Sansone videos. Once that pain hits it takes a few hours with the heating pad before it goes away and I'm sore for at least a day afterwards. Just mention this to the doc next time you go. It *might* be something as simple as unworked muscles or could be as complex as a blood clot in the leg. Sue in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
