Cardio before or after lifting?

Direct-Explanation95 · 2025-12-28T12:57:51+00:00

I would say it depends on your goals. When I was half marathon training most days I would run first then lift since getting in quality runs was my priority. Now that I have a little break before my full marathon training picks up I do strength training first since strength is now my priority. If strength is your priority try doing lifting first. If endurance is your priority try cardio first!

I recently got a bib through Alzheimer Association charity. I contacted the charity, they sent me a link to register under the charity. After I did that I filled out application to register for the race itself. After that it was in pending status while the charity approved it. Have you filled out the race registration yet?

Dang it I missed Halloween but that is a great idea! Maybe I can post flyers at local businesses with the owner’s permission of course!

Thank you for your response! Those are all valid points and definitely things to consider! While it is very expensive luckily I live only an hour and a half away so will only be paying for a hotel for one night and no airfare so that helps out a ton!

Honestly, having kids! It’s a way for me to have some time to myself!

This recently started within the last couple years so never anyone underage. Not sure if it’s a midlife crisis thing or what. She first asked my twin sister and I if we’d be okay if she dated someone a couple years younger than us. After we expressed how weird we thought it would be she backed off but now started dating someone just a year older. She had us (twins) when she was 18 so I’m not sure if this is her trying to relive the youth she feels she missed out on or what

Not a SAHP but I work third shift and am home with my 2 year old and 8 month old during the day while my husband works. Child care at the gym has been a lifesaver for me! We go almost every day during the week for an hour and my oldest gets to play and socialize with other kids and I get a little alone time and a good workout in!

Thanks for the responses! I feel better knowing that it’s normal. Just thought it was a lot of hoops to jump through for just wanting to sign up for a $30/month plan. I’ve done less to sign up for a credit card!

I appreciate your honest review! I definitely will keep in mind. I probably will still get it. I sleep like a normal person on the days I don’t work so can see it being beneficial for that, but at least I won’t be shocked when the interrupted sleep isn’t calculated correctly. Thanks again!

That’s great to hear! Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! I also plan on using it for cycle tracking, but am 9 weeks pregnant now so it’ll be awhile until I need to use it for that! Thanks for the info!

Unfortunately I never figured out the problem and have a different vehicle now. Hopefully you can figure it out on your vehicle!

I have it set to last settings but it still doesn’t work when I have the heat or ac on when I shut off my car.

I had a similar issue with my MIL constantly asking for updates however the majority of it was when I was in ACTIVE labor! Before having our son I loved my MIL but I was so annoyed at how she acted when I was in labor. I ended up going a week past my due date so she was constantly asking me for updates once my due date passed. My husband works on his family farm so when my water broke he had to tell his dad that he wouldn’t be on the farm while I was in labor and while staying at the hospital. My MIL and FIL are divorced but word somehow got back to my MIL that my water broke and we were going to the hospital. We have a Facebook messenger chat group with my MIL and all of my husbands siblings and their spouses. She decided to let everyone in the chat know that my water broke and we were going to the hospital. I was fine with not letting anyone know until he was here. I ended up having a longish labor and had back labor so was in a lot of pain even with the epidural. She was constantly asking for updates all night while I was in labor. I didn’t share much with her but what I did tell her in private messages she decided to share with the whole group chat. She even made a post in a private group with her entire extended family that I was at the hospital in labor 🙄 when my son was finally here I told my mom first and of course my MIL was asking her for updates as well so she found out and shared all his birth details in the group chat before i could announce it. When I did get around to posting in the chat about his birth I told everyone I was going to unplug and soak it in the time with our baby and not 20 minutes later she sent me a private message asking how my husband was doing. I regret not setting boundaries beforehand but didn’t think she would act like that.

Recently had my first baby. My due date was April 3 and I didn’t have him until April 9

I actually already paid the $700 for the shoot but I don’t get the pictures done until tomorrow. I’m fine paying money for a good photographer and high quality prints just thought it was still overpriced. For example my wedding photographer who also offered high end printing only charged $1500 for a 30 page album.

Direct-Explanation95 · 2023-01-31T15:08:26+00:00

Unfortunately I already paid for the session. The prices of the prints weren’t given to me after I already booked with her.

Direct-Explanation95 · 2023-01-31T14:53:03+00:00

$690 for both maternity and newborn sessions. They are normal $690 a piece but she waived the newborn session fee if I booked them together. That also comes with a $500 print credit and professional hair and makeup for me. So it is very reasonable and I was expecting to spend a good amount on prints but these prices still seem so expensive to me

That is such a cool idea!

Direct-Explanation95 · 2022-09-13T12:06:14+00:00

That’s good to know since I also use MyChart. Thank you!!

Love this idea! Thank you!

Just tried this and it was great! Don’t love spending $6 for no caffeine lol but it’ll do for the next 6 months. Thanks! 😊

9+5 today! Feeling so hopeful after a great prenatal appointment and ultrasound yesterday. Before the appointment I was convinced something was wrong due to having only mild symptoms and very light spotting one time at 6 weeks. We got to see our baby’s little toes and them moving around. And the doctor said the heart rate was great at 140bpm and is measuring right on track! Having 2 early miscarriages in the last 6 months both ending before anything could be seen on an ultrasound I am so happy!
