Champion  23360      Taser-World |  Subject: RE: Super Cats Mentor Group - CLOSEDDogwoodGirl - 2009-06-03 8:53 AM Okay! So, i have my first race this weekend. V. nervous. Going over the checklists, getting stuff together, and making sure I have directions, etc. Doing a Swim/Run brick this morning and then nothing else to do but wait for Sat. So, here is my question, and it is kind of a kooky one, and mainly for the girls: I get some thigh chafing when I run longer distances, and sometimes from the bike. Mostly from the run, though. I have found that it has gotten worse this summer, and I think it is because in the summer I shave and then the regrowth is what gives me the terrible chafing. Does anyone else get this? What do you do? Waxing? Suck it up and look like a Wookie at the pool? I have decided that between now and Sat. I am just going to suck it up. But moving forward for the summer, I would like to find a solution. Thanks! (And sorry you guys had to read this chick stuff.) Have you tried experiments with different shorts? For example, if it's the skin of one leg hitting the other leg that causes the problem, maybe try a longer length. Or if it's the material of the shorts rubbing, try a tighter pair or a looser pair, or a different material, etc..... |

Champion 6285 Beautiful Sonoma County | Subject: RE: Super Cats Mentor Group - CLOSED Yes! I thought it was just me! I mainly wear my 4-6" tri shorts for longer runs. But I have a pair of baggy running shorts that I sometimes have to wear when everything else is dirty. When I wear those, I make sure to apply copious amounts of Body Glide to the chafe-prone areas. That helps a lot. |

OMG I have a similar issue when I use the spin bikes a lot (like at the moment)... its right in the upper bit where leg meets body and can be horrible! I opt to use a trimmer rather than a shaver... so get it almost all gone but not quite so I dont get the ingrown issues... Ive just started using chamois creme but need to remember to use it regularly... AND I find it definately relates to hor I have the bike set up AND what shorts Im wearing at the time... Good luck with it! |

A walk on the beach and whatever you normally do on holiday woud be fine... to be honest if its only a few days you are NOT going to lose fitness in that time! |

| 154 | Subject: RE: Super Cats Mentor Group - CLOSED So, i think i might need to go see a doctor. WHenever I go to wal-mart I always check my blood pressure, and it always seems high like mid 130s over mid 70s...so not hypertensive but prehypertension. It just has me concerned since I feel like im healthy, i eat fairly well, im 22 years old, My pulse seems healthy like high 40s usually, and I workout a good bit -like 5-10 hours a week. Idk though. |

Master 1690 Metro NY Area | Subject: RE: Super Cats Mentor Group - CLOSED In general it's a good idea to see a Dr. once a year but I don't know if I would trust a Walmart machine as an actual measure of blood pressure. patchadams - 2009-06-03 9:51 PM So, i think i might need to go see a doctor.

I've tried the blood pressure machines at Walmarts. (Usually, I'm waiting to pick up a prescription, so I'm looking for ways to kill time.) The results are always all over the place. Are you at UNC now? Maybe visit the Student Clinic there, and ask them to check your blood pressure. |

I know for males its about 2 drinks/day, so that would be 14 drinks a week, but what if you drink all 14 of those in one night...would that still count as moderate? |

Are you at UNC now? Maybe visit the Student Clinic there, and ask them to check your blood pressure. The health recommendations are no more than 2 per night for males.. but there is ALSO a second part that say you should have at least x number of alcohol free days per week (I think its around 2) as part of the full 'suggestion'. If you drink all your allocated drinks in one sitting its considered 'binge drinking' and bad for you... But seriously going out and have a meal and some wine with friends could easily push you into the 'binge drinking' category if you have more than a couple of glasses... You realise this a very Uni question to ask... 14 beers in one sitting |

14 beers in one sitting...talk about bloated. However, it you only drink on say a Saturday and that Saturday happens to be a holiday and you start early in the day and pace yourself all day...14 is easily attainable. Just my opinion (and experiences) Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend...I'm headed to visit my Grandmother in Mississippi |

Champion 23360 Taser-World | Subject: RE: Super Cats Mentor Group - CLOSED Question! Anyone know of some exercises that I can do to strengthen the muscles that support the knee? I tend to hyperextend my knee, which causes problems. (It wobbles from side to side too - which is also a problem.) So I'm looking for suggestions on how to strengthen the muscles supporting the knee. Thanks! |

So I'm looking for suggestions on how to strengthen the muscles supporting the knee. Thanks! After completing my physical therapy I have a few for you, along with the "I'm not a doctor" disclaimer: Single leg squats - you probably won't be able to go as deep as normal squats, then as you get comfortable, you can do these on a bosu ball. 3 directional lunges - forward/45 degree/90 degree (side) - only go as low as comfortable and knee should never extend beyond your toes. Walking squats with resistance band - resistance band around ankles (or just above ankles) squat and walk forward, backward and sideways; again, only squat as low as comfortable. I have some others with photos that I can PDF and PM you tomorrow. |
