Sorry, meant level 2 trainers in KY.

I would like to drop 20 lbs in the next couple of months. We'll see if I can do it. I'm in pretty good shape, but my cardio is practically non existant as is my diet. Plan on changing that on Monday. I walk at NKU's graduation on Sunday so I'm going to have alot more free time to dedicate to myself/fitness goals from here on out.

 

^The best way to burn fat and lose weight while working out is doing just 30-60 second sprints. It's been proven! What I did to get the weight to fall off was running 4-8 400M sprints on the treadmill during my weight routines. You'll burn WAY more calories in that mile of sprints than if you just jogged a mile. Give it a shot and promise you'll be pleased with your results!

 

I will second what Rocket said. Any type of short high intensity will work wonders at burning fat.

 

What are you thinging as far as diet?

I have had many goals for the past 16 months and I must say that I have hit every one of them. With out exercise, eating and sitting on the couch watching TV, I hit a weight of 300lbs. in Dec. 2009.

 

For the past 16 months I have lost 131.5 lbs., ran a 5K with my son, a 10K, The Papa John's 10 miler, and now the Flying Pig 1/2 marathon all without walking and coming in the upper half of all entries. Next goals are the Bourbon chase this fall and to do a FULL marathon. I have even seen that RunDisney has a 36.3 mile "Goofy race" in Jan. (run a 1/2 on sat. and a full on sun.) that I have an eye on. All you have to do is keep a 16:00 a mile pace. I've done the 1/2 way faster than that, and know I could do the full in under a 16:00 pace. Just not sure of doing both back to back yet.

 

At 46 years old I am currently in the best health of my life and considered normal on the bmi scale for the first time ever. I am in the process of purchasing a TREK bike to ride to work for the summer. I can honestly say that I plan on being around when my children start having kids.

I suggest tackling the full marathon in Memphis next December. Weather is ideal and the support is absolutely tremendous. Would also go perfect with your Bourbon Chase run. The full is a different animal.

I've been doing the 30/30 on the elliptical at our gym. It's rough, the first time I did it I about puked. It's basically the same thing, 30 seconds walk followed by 30 seconds of sprint, then repeat continuously. If I can get to where I can do that all out for 30 minutes I think I'll be happy with the results.

I do something similar to that. It works great.

Well now that I'm no longer in college I'm thinking about working out in the morning, I used to and loved it, I feel so much more energized at work when I do that, and worst case scenario if I don't make it in the morning I'll go after work.

 

With that said I rarely ever eat breakfast, so I'm going to start. I'm thinking bannana or yougurt with maybe some orange juice or something but not alot sense I'll be getting ready to go to the gym right after. Probably eat lunch about 3-4 hours after the gym. For my snack around 3-4 I'll do a pint of milk with my protein. Then whatever for dinner try not to be too unhealthy though. I LOVE fruit, so I'm hoping to keep alot around the house and use that for snacks.

I never paid to much attention on marathons or halfs until the Flying Pig. At the pig expo all the local marathons coming up were there with flyers. I never knew there where so many and took brochers of them all. A few that caught my eye where the Chicago, Indianoplis, Disney, St. Louis, Columbus, and the Nascar one in North Carolina. Thanks for the heads up on the Memphis one Bugatti! December would be a great time to do a marathon.

And both your children and your grand children to be will be very happy you made that decision. I'm sure you'll get alot out of it too.

What I have already gotten was worth every bit of the all the hard work done. Running 13.1 miles this past weekend beside my daughter and my son cheering me on at the finish line was priceless! Anthing else would be having my cake and eating it too.

30 mins at that pace is probably a little much. I won't do any more then 12-15 rounds total. If you over do it your body will start burning muscle. Intervals are great if used correctly, less is sometimes more.

I can already do 15 minutes fine, well by fine I mean I can do it lol. I just don't have the endurance which is what I feel I need to work on.

I'm starting Body by VI in the morning. I'll let you know how it goes. If anybody's interested in starting shoot me a message. Basically 2 shakes supplement 2 meals in the day. Your body stores fat because it's afraid it won't get the nutrients etc it needs. The shakes are filled with what your body needs so you end up burning fat. 2 snacks between meals during the day to boost your metabolism. People around here have dorpped weight and had more energy. I've watched several friends succesful on it before I decided to try it.

You still looking to get in the same line of work we talked about a while back?

I just joined a crossfit gym in NKY. Did the Jackie yesterday, along with some running and deadlifting. Did the Cindy today along with some overhead squats.

 

I'm so sore I can barely move, but I love it. And it is expensive so I don't know how long I'll be able to afford going, but I can learn alot while I'm there.
