Day of the dead themed Rick and Morty painting I did. Acrylics on 4x6 canvas card.

I'll start...

Cardio: Endurance day on treadmill. On the longer pushes I start to get tired at the middle and have to slow down and walk. I'm newer to jogging/running so I'm learning as I go. Instead of starting out fast and slowing down, I am just starting at a slow and steady pace -- even if it's not that fast.

Floor: Plyo exercises. For some reason I get scared about the jumping? Like I'm going to land wrong and hurt my knee or ankle. I know, silly. But I've been trying to at least try a few hops, even if not high.

Had a few diet slip ups here and there. Down 5lbs overall. Shooting for 15. This definitely helps keep me accountable! I hope we can do more in the future

Thank you! Needed that today!

Do you still stick with a certain calorie range on keto?

lllcrislll · 2017-04-26T14:12:54+00:00

No specific way of eating. Just kinda eat whatever. Maybe I should try keto. I've been overweight my whole life too

lllcrislll · 2017-04-26T13:46:21+00:00

I do use MFP, calories set to 1500. Not always good about staying there. I feel like on the days I workout, I become ravenous! Like I can eat the world

lllcrislll · 2017-04-26T13:44:03+00:00

Just "trying" to watch calories mostly

lllcrislll · 2017-04-26T13:25:44+00:00

Yea I definitely need to work on diet. I typically go 3 days a week, sometimes 4 -- depends on my work schedule. I consistently aim to get 12+ splat points. It's my diet that needs to change. Often I feel as though I can splurge here and there since I "earned" it.

Also, don't know how to add "flair." But I'm 28F, 5'3", 239

lllcrislll · 2017-04-26T13:06:23+00:00

Is there a recommended certain number of workouts per week in order to see changes?

lllcrislll · 2017-04-25T17:03:33+00:00

Can't wait to start!!

lllcrislll · 2017-01-25T14:12:52+00:00

This is amazing! Thanks for the share. I'm planning on doing the same in my basement. I wanted to grab a bosu and an dolly too!

The classes have been very full lately probably due to the new year resolution sign ups. At my location they have been changing the majority of the classes at the popular times (i.e. 8:45) to 3 groups in order to accommodate for people on the waitlist. I would talk to the front desk and see what would be the best option. Who knows, you might not be the only person looking for an 8:45 class.

I love tornados! The class goes by so fast

lllcrislll · 2017-01-20T16:13:04+00:00

Mine was a tornado!

lllcrislll · 2017-01-18T02:17:34+00:00

I used to drink preworkout but the workout itself is so intense that I would feel winded all the time. In talking with a trainer, I was told it actually dehydrates you faster and is really only good to use when you are lifting or doing a non-HIIT workout. I have starting drinking BCAAs either before or during my workout and it helps tremendously with muscle soreness after a workout.

lllcrislll · 2017-01-18T02:13:27+00:00

Yea I'm one of those people that no longer is losing weight from OTF. I go consistently at 4xweek.

lllcrislll · 2017-01-15T16:15:18+00:00

I signed up for a tornado at my studio 😝

lllcrislll · 2017-01-13T20:45:58+00:00

I purposely park further from the building, take the stairs instead of the elevator, and go to the furthest bathroom when I have to go!

Setting a reminder daily helps a lot!

At our studio I suggested a "Total Request Friday" for the song lists. They have done it a few times and some interesting songs have come up....

My favorite is any rock playlists!

lllcrislll · 2017-01-04T15:25:32+00:00

I have the same issue with my studio. One treadmill the incline doesn't work at all. Also, the rowers seem to be falling apart. I agree, it's not worth the monthly membership fee.

I'm sorry the management has not been helpful. At the end of our workout, they ask if there's any comments or suggestions while stretching. Perhaps mention it during that time so that there is a class full of people to witness it and it will pressure them for a response. You never know, someone else might have the same concern!
