Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004Progress with the torture chamber
The first day on the exercise machine was something straight out of satan's torture chamber. It's been a loooonnnnng time since I've done any exercises with weights. So I approached the thing last week, gave it the evil eye and said "you are gonna be my best friend". Ha! Couldn't do more than five of anything, even on the lowest weight. Lots of grunts and groans. Gee that was fun. Next morning, felt a little sore. Didn't look like Ahnold though. Rested a day and attacked the darn thing again. Still only got five reps of each, but it was a bit easier. No soreness the next day. So now we have settled into a little routine, workout one day, walk for 1/2 hour the next or ride stationary bike, etc. Will try more reps next week. This could become addicting. Marsha/Ohio 240/214/140 Good deal....a little cardio after your resistance training may help with recovery and preventing soreness. :: The first day on the exercise machine was something straight :: out of satan's torture chamber.

I just love pain : ) Marsha/Ohio > > Good deal....a little cardio after your resistance training may help with > > recovery and preventing soreness. [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Marsha/Ohio Yes. I know you are joking, ;-) But anyhow, you need to do cardio on the off days. You need to get your cardiovascular and cardiorespiratory systems as strong as your are going to make your other skeletal muscle's... A strong heart is a healthy heart :-) :: Roger Zoul wrote: :: [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] :: What???? You mean I have to do MORE after I'm done with the :: torture machine? Okay.

Do your real cardio (longer sessions) on the none resistance training days. > The first day on the exercise machine was something straight > out of satan's torture chamber.

Take it from someone who knows... it can. I work out 5 times a week with a trainer (alternating lower body, abs and cardio, then upper body, etc) and then I go to the same gym 3 nights a week to get my best friend started on it all. It's gone from total drudgery to becoming a huge part of my life. And my quads are SLAMMIN'!! :-) Keep it up, you'll probably get to where you can't live without it.
