LOL, I have yet to see mine very clearly underneath my "chub". I'll have to make that call later....kitchen vs. crunches!

JJ_Sungirl · 05-30-2006, 10:24 PM

******alrighty then! I didnt end up doing a circuit, just lifting...a little tired today, BUT, after my workout, I did 15 minutes on the elliptical. I would've done more but lack of calories (did workout fasted) and numb feet cut the session short. Tomorrow I am endeavoring to work my legs after taking a month off at the advice of a physio due to sore hip flexors (overuse from teaching). I will be doing body wt. exercises only. Oh, and I am adding pilates to my workout regime. I used to do it back in the day, but then I switched it out for yoga. I am BIG on crosstraining and I'm sure my core could use it. Hurrah for pilates!!!

hibiscus09 · 05-30-2006, 10:28 PM

Hi JJ! Sorry about the numb feet. I used to get those when I stairmastered, but after a while it went away. :p

I've never done pilates. The new gym at Kiawah has two of the pilates boards, but I would have no idea what to do with them.

**A.FreeRadical** · 05-31-2006, 01:42 AM

I used to do a pilates class in my gym. I really felt that I benefitted from it, but 7:30 at night was just too late for me (I would have to come back in 1 1/2 hours after my workout or hang around, so I had to give it up.) I may get some DVDs and try yoga and pilates at home.

JJ_Sungirl · 06-02-2006, 05:25 AM

Okay, so this month has sucked for me. I'm sure you will NOT see any improvement in my IMPC pics. Oh gawd....up a pound, down a pound, the hip flexors feel fine, then they hurt again...adjust this, adjust that...to cheat or not to cheat....its been rough...

SOoooo, I am just going to compete for Most Improved Physique for IMPC, not in the Novice BB category. My legs are lagging badly behind my upper body development. I have not been able to work them hard, if at all, at the advice of my physio. Also, I am happy to announce, I will going back to my artistic roots this summer taking dance and pilates for x-training. I have enrolled in a few classes in a few different disciplines (starting next month to give the injuries some more time to heal). I am looking forward to the variety dance has to offer. I will also be pursuing dance as part of my career development as an instructor, as well as my physical development.

So, until the pics, wish me luck

pammiejoe6 · 06-02-2006, 06:13 AM

whohohooooooo X-Training! YEAH!

im with you girl...everyone needs an off month....take it and RUN with it baby!

JJ_Sungirl · 06-02-2006, 09:35 PM

Yeah baby,

Today I did a great lifting session..lats and pecs...I had mega energy this morning from a really good sleep last night. I am continuing to read Tom Venuto's book for inspiration. Its so easy to get discouraged when you're an endomorph. Grrrr...I hate the "E" word, however, I may master this thing yet.
I am looking forward to this summer now, knowing that I am going to be pursuing cross training.

Now, I'm off to see what you all have been up to! Cheers

pammiejoe6 · 06-03-2006, 12:53 AM

i need to reread my BFFM book...it is so motivating!

im super proud of you! you rock!

JJ_Sungirl · 06-03-2006, 06:03 PM

Yeppers!! I need my motiovational tools. Its my "fix".

Today, I am going to do a some yoga and pilates. I gotta find a DVD somewhere for the pilates. Maybe I'll shop for one after work. You know, I still own a VCR, and I have a pilates video tape from back in the day. I used to do it like 3 times a week. What nice perky buns I had when I was 20!!:moon:

I will prolly do some cardio at home too. I have had it suggested to me to do my elliptical in sandals or socks to eliminate foot numbness. I'll try anything. I have to get my cardio to a higher level!!! As they say, time to shite or get off the pot.:wedgie:

I get foot numbness when I do the elliptical. I try to keep to "the beat" when I am listening to my mp3 player. This means I am up on my toes. (swiveling my hips and swaying back and forth) When I feel numbness, I just put my heals down and lay back a bit. I hadn't thought of taking my shoes off. (That would just be another thing for gymfolks to talk about.

)

JJ_Sungirl · 06-04-2006, 12:15 AM

Hello again all,

I just did my measurements today and in fact, although I only lost about a pound this month, I actually lost 0.5-1.0 inches at all the major measurements sites...bust, bicep, waist, umbilicus, hips, upper thigh and calf. So, you all may see a difference in my IMPC pics after all. I'll be doing them on the 5th.

Hey Rad,Thanks for coming in to my lil' world here...you inspire me. I could only think that the "gymfolk" say nice things about you

Pammie, no, you ROCK!!!!:cool3:

hibiscus09 · 06-04-2006, 03:35 AM

Great results, JJ!

You always seem upbeat and I enjoy reading your posts!
