Question Re: Workouts

[Guest guest]

When you do " your " version of HIIT do you run from machine to

machine? It's making me chuckle picturing you leaping from the

eliptical and dashing to the treadmill while everyone else in the

gym is diving out of the way.

;o)

out, and although I have the BFL book, and the EFL book... I think I

am still lacking when it comes to working out. I know the books

have the " intensity " levels... but how do you gauge those levels?

minutes) before hitting the weights, just to get my blood flowing

and my heart rate up. Should I not do this? I still only do 3 days

of weights a week, but I do 20 minutes before weights MWF and then I

do 30 minutes cardio TThS. Should I not be doing this? On days

that I do cardio/weights - do I eat when I get home or wait an

hour? I ate about 30 minutes after I finished working out - I ate

chocolate oatmeal - is that a good enough post-workout meal?

I am constantly thinking what is everyone thinking of this chubby

girl trying to work out. Any tips on how I can change this method

of thinking? I know the way to get thin IS to work out, so there

really isn't any other option that just facing it. It just makes me

not want to stay at the gym long.

elliptical, and then did my lower body workout. But I got flustered

with the seated calf raise machine, I honestly think it was broken,

but I couldn't quite grasp it, and felt stupid for wasting so much

time trying to figure it out that I Just left. lol At least it was

at the end of my workout though - I hit quads, hams, abs hard...
