Amy' S GeT Right Get Tight Journal

[gemini269]

Oh yeah Me too S.G.!!! Riesling for me! I feel guilty when it's too often and like it's a "crutch". And I've never felt like I "had" to do it till recently, so I didn't on purpose tonight...( even though I was stuck in an un expected close down the high way for two F'ING hours traffic jam!! ) Anyhow I was a good girl! As far as training with weights goes, I DEFINETLY work hard on my upper body... one day when I figure out how to take pics and post them i will! (computer challenged!!! ) but I still have a decent amount of tone to my legs...(so far), without doing anything . I'm just scared! I don't like how heavy they feel! Even when I lift light!? What do you think of this though?... A friend of mine, personal trainer, said maybe I should try, doing ONE REP of a bunch of different exercises in one leg day where i just hold the contraction as long as i could and then release instead of repeating the movement over and over..."repS". think that would do anything?

I would say that doesn't make much sense to me!!! lol

If you're going to do that, why not just do something easy like 3 set of 10 sissy squats. You don't use any weights at all, just your body weight. It's keeping the muscle working, but not ADDING to it. OR you could do 3 sets of 10 lunges (with no weight if you want). Just something to keep those muscles fired.

I personally LIKE it when my legs feel "heavy" as you put it....

Ok scorpio Well, I did what was to me, a leg day today! Don't lau gh! I actually made up my own little circuit. Triceps, jump-up/jump-off squats onto a step bench, running sprints, and abs. I repeated it 5 times. I was sweating! It was so funny. My ex showed up and saw me "attemting" to work my legs AT ALL, and was laughing...i laughed too! My legs were shaking and i had hardly done ANYTHING!!! Anyhow... guess it's a start? DO u think it would be ok to do NON-weighted things like that every day? Or should i keep it to twice a week? I want to tighten up my back side again, but don't want any size.... =) hehe... thanks tootsie roll

Ladies!!! What to do??!?! I'm so upsett... gots-ta-go to the doctor on monday... Ever since i had bronchitis for two weeks, bout (two weeks ago) my rib on the right side has been hurting SOOOOOOOOOOO bad, to the touch, along with any movement. At first it was just a little, but has gotten progressively worse. I know working out has made it worse, but I'm too stubborn to stop! I had a chest x-ray done when i went to the doctor for the bronchitis intitially and they found some small scaring on the left side of my heart... nothing related to the bronchitis, but, I'm sure if this pain was that serious it would have shown up. But I don't know EXACTLY what it is or WHAT to do? I'm just afraid they'll tell me i can't work out!!! What do i do if i cant? I'll go nuts-o!! I don't want to lose muscle and gain fat If I can't work out, will U guy's please help me come up with a plan with what/ how to eat, so that i can preserve muscle, and prevent fat gain till i heal? Thanks guys... I really need your support if this is a bad report.... BUT, im hoping for the best Lots a love!
