Please tell me you wash them first. Only after the 3rd wearing unless I have an accident! I'm confused here. Do we want to hope for you to have lots of accidents so you have to wash them or not? x2. It's bad luck to wear the pair labeled Monday on Tuesday, Weds on Thurs and so forth. And seriously bad underwear Karma to wear the pair labeled Saturday on ANY other day. Days of the week undies! Great x-mas gift idea for Mrs G to put in Mr G's stocking. |

Stacie, I do not own an iron. Donate yours to Goodwill and free yourself. If clothes come out of the dryer wrinkled, it is how the designer intended for them to be worn. Since I'm usually in suits (which have to go to dry cleaners) or sweats, it has worked out. Now for ST at home. I don't have time to write it up now, but I'll put together a synopsis of what I do and post later tonight (it will help pass the time while I have to listen to my training web-x.) I rarely lift at the gym. My focus is isometric strengthening and core work. While I hate them, push-ups are a great exercise. You can do it all at home without alot of stuff. Gotta run. Catch up on all the fun later. KIM> id love to read what you do (im always looking for new ideas/alternatives et al) when you get a chance..... as for the iron. i just may have to do that. the ironboard. definately! teehee stacieb Stacy, I do ALL my ST at home. It is too far for me to go to the gym. I would never ever ever do ST. A series of lunges/ squats/ ab work/ pushups is the usual. I have a medine ball routine that I like but need to get back to. Anything you can do at the gym you can do better at home. That goes for lots of things other than ST, too! |

Champion 14677 Bronze member | Subject: RE: The Ghoulie's: We Are Doing What We Are Loving December Challenge Got a little ride in today. I feel a lot less like an over boiled noodle. So much so that after the afternoon doctors appointment, I bought some killer purple shoes to wear tonight. I'll talk at you all in the am before I hit the road tomorrow. After that it will be Sunday or Monday before I check in again. Have fun Christmas Ghoulies. |

Anything you can do at the gym you can do better at home. That goes for lots of things other than ST, too! I'll echo that sentiment. I do all my ST at home as well, mainly because I don't like crowded gyms and waiting for equipment. I have a pull up bar, a set of 25 and 10 pound dumbells, a stability ball, and a few of those stretchy rubber band thingies. The possibilities are endless as far as what exercises I can do in an ST session. |

Champion 10742 Ames, IA | Subject: RE: The Ghoulie's: We Are Doing What We Are Loving December Challenge I finally made it to the pool today. I couldn't go yesterday since I had a patch on my hip releasing anti-inflammatories for 4 hours yesterday. I was hoping chopping nearly 4 months of hair off my head would counteract the increased drag of board shorts. Not so much. I felt really sluggish. |

Pro 4482 NJ | Subject: RE: The Ghoulie's: We Are Doing What We Are Loving December Challenge Stacie, as promised...a few thoughts on ST while your gym is closed. You've probably done most of these in one class or another. I used to do an early morning bootcamp, where we met at a local park and never needed anything other than a 5 lb weight. I just think we can do alot with our own body weight vs machines. Planks, super planks, side planks, kick overs, etc. Russian twists - sit up with feet off floor (V) and twist side to side with weight in hand Push ups, reverse push ups (I particularly detest these) Tricep Dips Wall squats (stability ball is good here) Lunges: side, walking, curtsey, etc Single leg balance - stand on one leg with other at 90 degrees. Hold for 60 secs. Contract hammies. Ouch. Hip raises - ball good here too If you have some hand weights and a ball you can take it even further and do just about anything that the gym offers. Hope this gives you a few new ideas. No rocket science here. I just find that with my travel schedule there are other good ways to stay toned rather than relying on machines. |

I usually exhale through the mouth, but was told I should do so through the nose. Mostly, I work to remember to exhale under water vs trying to exhale and inhale when I'm breathing. |

I am currently just doing macro work -- major muscle groups... so pushups (which are tough for me to do the regular kind) different kinds of crunches and lunges, etc. Looking forward to reading your routine. I'm always looking for a change up! Edited by deehtz 2009-12-03 7:09 PM |

Both here, same for running. I know I'm supposed to breathe through my nose, but it never feels like I get enough air flow. Does anyone else have that problem? |
