    Focus T25

    I loved slim in 6. I just had my gallbladder out and it will be my transition back into working out again!
  2. Ok that's exactly what I was hoping you would say! haha! I don't want to spend too much money! :-) Thanks!! I'll order it up right now.
  3. Which brand of the mat is preferred, there are so many different ones on amazon. I didn't know if any of them are better than others. I am certainly interested in trying out a mat!!

    protein shakes..... how long?

    I love my shakes!! I have one every morning for breakfast after my workouts! :-) I know some people don't like them for me I've found so many yummy recipes that are quick and easy and when I am running low on time in the morning convenience and something that works is what's best for me, plus I like how it tastes!
  5. I liked vanilla bean torte and Cappuccino (I used to mix with a little instant coffee, it's delicious) and Cookies cream those were my favorites.
  6. I agree I used the unjury after sur I agree, I used the unjry after surgery, changed to the syntax nectar and now I use Shakeology because I like all of the benefits of it without all the artificial stuff.
  7. Whatever you do end up going with you have to make sure you like it! :-) There are soooooo many protein powders out there there is bound to be one that fits your criteria and that you like! Good luck!
  8. It depends on my workout. Some workouts are made to burn more calories in a shorter amount of time and have an afterburn (specifically HIIT High Intensity Interval Training) and others burn more calories during the workout b/c they are longer. It's all about what you can put into and what you get out of it. If you are burning too many calories and heart is working too hard it's not as good for you either because you are making your body work too hard. Recently I've found that I have a pretty low heart rate and my workouts have burned less calories b/c I am having to work harder to get my heart rate up there but I guess it means my heart is pumping more efficiently. I agree with DonRodolfo where it's great to see those huge numbers but at the same time, you want to make sure you are not overworking your own body and making the workout less effective. Listening to your body and setting a goal (like the 5k, completing x weeks in a workout routine, increasing cardio time and weights lifted) is also a great idea!!

    Is this a sign of overtraining?

    I think it's a little bit of both. It could be your body doesn't have the right fuel or your workouts are too hard or you're dehydrated. I can tell when I over train when my heart rate which is now normally on the much lower side and peaks too soon and too high. I am also exhausted to get up in the morning and then continue to struggle through my workouts. When I overtrain it effects me more throughout the day than specifically during the workout. Does that make sense? But honestly everybody is so different it's what's best for your body. I am sure your trainer will have better insight, I'd love to hear what he/she says!
  10. Not going to lie, I am right there with you about my feelings about yoga... it get bored. But your stretch sounds good! I'll have to find me some pvc piping or something similar around the house!

    Favorite love to hate exercise

    That's amazing! Go you!!! I definitely jump up with a little bit wider stance bc I'm not super flexible, working on it or at least I intend to work on it! haha! The spreading the fingers apart is great advice I did that naturally the other day and I was like "wow that makes a HUGE difference"!!

    Tired of boring plain water?

    http://www.amazon.com/ZingAnything-Bundles-Aqua-Zinger-Citrus/dp/B009K10T42/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1376165397&sr=8-4&keywords=aqua+zinger I only have the aqua zinger, not the citrus zinger. But here is both of them for you guys to check out.If you look through amazon, I am sure you can find it cheaper too! I have put all different kinds of fruit in it and it honestly works great. My students used to love to guess what fruit I'd be putting in it day to day and all went home asking their parents for it! haha!
  14. I really liked the Unjury ones and I also currently use shakeology which does not use artificial sweeteners. I am pretty bummed because I just checked the ingredients in a GNC protein that I really liked and thought it had no artificial sweeteners but I was wrong.

    Question

    According to my fitbit, my regular daily activity counts as activity as well so I'm sure all of your hard work during your job has to count because your job is far more physical than mine! I love the idea of wearing a heart rate monitor while getting yard work done, I may have to try it this weekend!!
