Yoga is intense!

But until you try it especially if you are not too flexible from lifting weights....I wouldn't knock it. It can put a "hurt" on a lot of unsuspecting people!

I'm hardly moving, yet sweat BUCKETS more than any other activity. I'm that guy who has to take the mat home and wash it before returning to class

Has anyone heard or had experience with Tonal equipment?
I ended up getting it over the holidays and love it so far.

I'm working towards getting back in shape after 7yr hiatus (the usual excuse; family, small kids etc).. since the local gym is stupid packed anytime of the day i figured turn the mudroom into a small home gym and Tonal worked out well given small amount of space i had to work with (9'X13'). I was also able to stuff some free weights and a bench to mix it up in getting back to glory days, lol!

I'm also going to try outdoor running although in the past I've always done cardio on treadmill so hopefully getting shoes with custom insoles will pay off.. never had issues running but I was never 40 either. I don't plan on exceeding 25 miles per week even when in best shape.

So on my way to the gym this morning, and what appears to be something metal off of a truck is just lying in the road on an unlit stretch of highway. It's black, hard to see...and I swerve at the last minute.

Ended up ruining both rims (Apex) and tires on the passenger side of my car. I'm at work right now setting my guys day up, then have to leave and go put on my factory set of wheels/tires to get the car home and properly check it out.

Already ordered two new wheels, but they are back-ordered until next month.

And I was debating going to the gym this morning. If I hadn't...I would have taken an entirely different road.

UGGGGGGGHHH!

Similar issue happended to me the other month. It's pouring rain at 4:45am as I'm on my way to the gym. I see this figure in the middle of some rail road tracks I have to cross. At first I thought it was nothing until I got within a few feet from it, luckily I was going slow. Slammed on my breaks, but too late "WHAM!" there goes my front lip . Luckily not as bad as your though sorry for the bad luck man. It's just the world reminding you that it truly is fuck off friday.

I believe Apex still gives you half price on rims you damage if you send them back to them.

I will have to check into that. Thanks!

I am fortunate enough that I still have the OEM wheels with brand new PS3's on them and can afford replacements. So it was just an inconvenience of my time.

I realize that it's petty compared to what some may have to go through if this were to happen to them. So I consider myself blessed.

I have already swapped them out, and back at work. Just got an e-mail that my new wheels are shipping out today (so they didn't go on back order). And I did buy the Road Hazard Warranty with the tires. They barely had 3,000 miles on them.

Good deal. May need to be track delayed incident not sure. But I've used that option once for an off.

Yeah....whatever it was took out like a 4" section around the lip on the front wheel, and about 2" on the back wheel.

I hadn't had the wheels maybe 6-7 months, and waited 3 months before that to get them as they were back-ordered.

Talking of doing gym, how is your diet? I'm looking for clean eating

Clean eating is fairly simple. First set a target as far as caloric intake. From there establish your diet based on that value. Clean eating to me is staying away from a lot of the processed junk. I'll usually cut snacking to an extent and just try to get my meals in.

Breakfast:
eggs, oatmeal & peanut butter, toast, etc.

Lunch/dinner:
white rice, whatever vegetable you want, and an adequate amount of protein to fill your macros.

Could've made this post pretty long, but like I said it isn't hard to figure out. Rather, just need discipline to stick to it.

Perfect post. People make it harder than it needs to be. You're last statement concerning discipline sums it up perfectly. After that....all you need is consistency.

I pinched a nerve in my neck Tuesday night. I've been battling to "tough it out" but now the rest of my upper back is strained in trying to protect my neck. Wife took me to a sobador Friday night and he WORKED me for an hour, almost exclusively on my back. Relief for a few hours but I'm dying at work today. I think I'm going to set up a regular routine with him though, his deep tissue stuff is what I think I need regularly. The way he got up under my scapula means he knows where to really find some knots. I'm scared/anticipating turning him loose on my hamstrings.

Yesterday I had all the stuff ready and told the wife I would transplant her avocado. Ground was soft, but even medium scoops of dirt into the wheelbarrow was a vicious pain on both sides of the spine.

Needless to say, I didn't make the gym this weekend.

I've been going to my guy regularly getting my shoulders and scapula done and it's the best decision I have ever made.

It takes awhile, but I can't believe the difference in how I feel.

Good for you. Sounds like it's become 2nd nature for you. Just remember consistency is everything. Don't worry about the big picture...just keep stringing those daily goals together!

Yea they are addicting haha. i have quite a few myself . Have one sleeve right now , my chest done , and a bunch done on the other arm (working on getting that sleeve finished up ) I was working toward my sleeve, I have some cool trees with a ton of roots on lower forearm/wrist . I got a UFO with a beam shooting down toward trees this last appt , going back again on 1/25 to get more done on that arm. Once its done it will be a cool scene with the ufo shooting a beam down into the trees, and above the ufo will be a space/galaxy theme with a giant moon and some stars and such with black background. I'll post pics once she is all finished up!

I know the feeling though, my girlfriend gives me shit every time I go in , but I'm nowhere near finished with my plans so she can just sit back and roll her eyes a much as she wants lol
