*.* 2014 General Fitness Thread *.*
Welcome to 2014! Now get your ass in top physical condition!
No one else started it so here it is! **From the 2013 Thread** If you want to get back into lifting, or need a new lifting routine, START HERE: http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wi...inner_Programs If you have questions about the SS programs, look here: http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ Keep in mind that you're a novice lifter for a longer period of time than you think you are. Novice lifting can last anywhere from a few months to a year or two, depending on how hard you hit the weights and where you started. Once you've reached the point where you don't make regular progress on the SS program, you are ready to move on to the intermediate stage, which can last you for a good number of years. Find it HERE: http://madcow.hostzi.com/5x5_Program/Linear_5x5.htm If you're a very advanced lifter (many, many years of CONSISTENT weight training), then there are lot of programs out there, and which one you pick is simply a matter of preference. If you're really that advanced, you should know what works for you and what doesn't by this point. |

Correlation ain't causation, especially when it comes to mental health and allergies. Jesus a lot of people with weird dietary strictures such as vegetarianism choose that diet because they HAVE allergies.
I used to make fun of the fact that a lot of people who come to our natural food store look sick as hell. One of my friends finally said "That's because they ARE sick as hell and are shopping there in hopes of improving their condition."

It was a long winter and I've done no real fitness training. Here's my general fitness. Cholesterol 173 mg/dl, Triglycerides 335 mg/dl and Glucose is 120 with 126 being diabetic. Doc said no meds and I'm supposed to take care of it through diet and exercise and I have 6 months to do it. I think I can do it faster then that.

STORY TIME! I went to the store during my lunch hour to buy a pair of jeans so that I would have at least one pair that fits me for right now. I go to the plus size, pick out a 16W, take them to the dressing room, put them on, and THEY WERE BAGGY! I put them up, and went to the "normal" size section. I found a 16 there (not W) that fit me perfectly, as well as a size 14 in dress slacks. As I walked out of the plus size section, I thought to myself, "Good riddance!" I NO LONGER SHOP IN THE PLUS SIZE SECTION! This actually made me more giddy than when I weighed under 200lbs for the first time.

I still have fat arms, but that little baby muscle didn't use to be there when I flexed.

I have to say you're "toning" quite nicely.

Thanks. It's a start. Seeing a little definition in my quads too, but not too much yet. Still have a ton of fat to burn! Last edited by luv; 04-04-2014 at 08:09 AM.. |

I'm amazed by Silock and some of the others progress.
I'm not posting a photo for a while - but I'm doing well, not increasing quite as quickly as most of you - but I'm steady. Additionally I tried some of the 'swinging' exercises via kettlebell - and it irritated my shoulder - nothing tremendous - just annoying. |
