<p>I can’t help it, the gum chewing just struck me as funny. Not to say her demo isn’t just fine. I wouldn’t know 'cause I haven’t tried that particular exercise. Gotta admit – gives new meaning to exercising the jaw. :)</p>
<p>Probably is chewing gum. That video was filmed at one of Mike Boyle’s gyms outside Boston. If I recall the story, she was a US Olympic hockey player recovering from ACL knee surgery when that video was shot. If I ever have to have my ACL rebuilt, I hope I can chew gum and do single leg squats standing on an Airex pad at the same time! :)</p>
<p>Here’s one without gum chewing…</p>

<p>In the gym this afternoon and walked 95 minutes on the treadmill. Wasn’t planning on being there that long but got interested in the Dr. Oz show. He talked about the flat belly diet most of the time.</p>
<p>idad…you may find the flat belly diet interesting as the premise reminded me of what you advocate. Lean protein, low carb and make sure you add the right fats…MUFA at every meal as well as eating low fat Greek yogurt prior to every meal. It was food for thought and kept me exercising! [Dr</a>.

<p>Oh, my!I was really hungry and tired after working out and thought I needed a protein snack. I mixed some of my chocolate whey protein powder with 1/2 cup of Market Pantry’s frozen triple berry blend, ice and 3/4 cup of water and it was decadent! Like chocolate covered berries! All for 135 calories, 23 g of protein, 10g carbs. Tasted like a new dessert for me!:)</p>

<p>I’m glad I’m not the only one who listens to/watches diet and exercise info stuff while I’m working out. I can’t do it when I’m doing something high intensity, like Airdyne intervals or walk/run intervals, but it’s often my go-to entertainment while I’m doing my workouts in the basement. I’ve got an assortment of podcasts on nutrition and fitness. Sometimes good. Sometimes quacks, but always entertaining.</p>

<p>Ditto, Planet Fitness suits my needs fine.</p>
<p>Worked with TRX and kettle bells at the gym today and walked on the treadmill for 45 minutes. My book group met at my house last night and I had left-over goodies (biscotti and cookies). Wish I could say I threw them in the trash, but that’s not the case. </p>
<p>Continue working my way through Lustig’s Fat Chance.</p>
<p>Day 1, Week 3 of C25K plus more walking for a total of 4.5 miles run/walk today.</p>
<p>I was a satisfied customer at Planet Fitness. $10 a month with no commitment is pretty hard to beat. They had everything I needed to do a decent workout. Loved the cable towers for core stuff. Plenty of DBs and weight benches. A little crowded sometimes, but I could usually find a quiet corner to do my weird core exercises.</p>
<p>I can put up with some strange slogans for that price point. </p>
<p>I personally like to watch food shows while exercising. I guess that makes me a glutton for punishment. </p>
<p>Just found out, thanks to the news, that there was an armed robbery right down the street from us. 3:30 am - armed intruder in a residence. Yikes.</p>
<p>sabaray…we must be on some strange parallel path in life! :eek:</p>
<p>Gym workout. Bike (food channel – is the meat cooked enough), weights, and elliptical.</p>
<p>For the record, I wouldn’t even have known about the PF grunting thing if it weren’t for you guys!</p>
<p>Race prep and other stuff to attend to. I will be devoting my good faith energy where it’s needed and enjoyed.</p>
<p>If anyone can handle the high heel workout, it would BB.
IIRC, she did some rather long distance sprinting in heels…</p>
<p>In the gym</p>
<p>Pilates, squats, deadlifts, rows, push ups</p>
<p>Thanks for all the injury advice. I did do the “cold treatment” as soon as I stumbled into the house. I went hardcore…filled the bath tub (in order to submerge my whole leg) with ice cold water and sat in it for 20 minutes!</p>
<p>Hard workout today after spinning on Sunday and swimming yesterday. 4 mile run on treadmill. 9:00/6:00/9:00/7:00. </p>
<p>I think treadmill might be easier than track/road running. Set the pace and you’re forced to keep up or fall off.</p>
<p>3.1 miles. Abs, stretching, curls, pullups, squats, military press, pushups.</p>
<p>851 calories, 25% carbs, 9 grams sugars.</p>
<p>Cold symptoms declined markedly but I expect it to be a back and forth thing. I was going to go to the YMCA and do another mile or two but it’s 25 degrees out so I decided to do some strength work and stretching instead. Going to bed early as I was home late last night and had to get up early this morning.</p>
<p>That kitchen scale is a real life-saver. I measured off 30 grams = 1 serving of mixed nuts. Estimating by handfuls out of the bag severely undercounts the weight.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Those are some long intervals!</p>
<p>2 miles on the dreadmill at the gym for my 2nd run of the day and then weights. I’m going to try to get up in the morning again. It’s nice to get the bulk of my workout done then.</p>
