Put The Fork Down!

"Many of us would probably agree that women have done some amazing things while wearing high heels: Holding high-level political offices, running corporations, even deadlifting big weights, which you will see in a second. While heels undoubtedly can be visually appealing, and can simultaneously give an air of sexuality and power, what exactly is happening to the feet, ankles, shins and calves of the wearer? Let's see what the research says" - Just Kidée: Road Warrior from Bookmarklet

Sometimes a change of pace to make the routine feel less banal helps get past this point. Are there alternative forms of working out that you can try? - Hookuh Tinypants

I've been tempted to pick up a PT but I think I will wait until I find out if I get picked in the Nike lottery. - Hookuh Tinypants

"As I got closer to my goal of a lean, fit body though, something started to change. I began to realize how much time I spend thinking about my diet and my workouts. Don’t get me wrong. In our modern food climate, we need to be diligent and mindful about what we eat, and our lifestyles have become so sedentary and easy that we need to make time to get the exercise that was a built-in component of our ancestors lives. But as I got leaner, I needed to become increasingly disciplined about calories and macronutrients. At some point I realized I’d gone beyond simple mindfulness about food, and had ventured into the sort of behavior that some people might consider an eating disorder. Every calorie, every gram of protein, every micronutrient was being tracked. That’s what I needed to do to continue getting leaner. But oh, did I look great! Do I want my daughters to grow up healthy and strong? Absolutely. Do I want them to feel pressured to be as disciplined about their diets as I am? Absolutely not." - Just Kidée: Road Warrior from Bookmarklet

You're an inspiration, girl. Be proud <3 - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!

Yay, Katie!! - imabonehead

People who have low bodyfat...this is what they do on their weekends (Damn....) - Just Kidée: Road Warrior from Bookmarklet

You go girl - SteVe C

yeah, sounds like it's a bad year all over. - holly #ravingfangirl

"If you think kettlebells are just glorified dumbbells, keep reading. "A kettlebell's center of gravity actually shifts during the course of the exercise," says Jason C. Brown, C.S.C.S., owner of Kettlebell Athletics, in Philadelphia. In that way, it's like many of the objects you lift everyday -- briefcase, milk gallon, unruly toddler -- and repeated use provides much the same benefit: Functional, real world strength." - Just Kidée: Road Warrior from Bookmarklet

"You know that exercise is good for your body and is essential to your overall health, but did you know it can actually make you smarter, as well? We've mentioned the topic in brief before, but new research shows that it's not a cause and effect relationship, that exercise makes you smarter—it's that exercise is the reason you're smart. That means that regular activity is essential to staying sharp and getting smarter, perhaps even more-so than stimulating cognitive activities are." - Just Kidée: Road Warrior from Bookmarklet

"Athletes of all kinds, from cyclists to skiers, benefit from strong legs. Toned legs not only look good, but they can help prevent injuries too. This dynamic yoga sequence flows between basic standing poses targeting your legs and booty while working your core and arms too. Complete all nine poses on the right side first, and then repeat on the left." - Just Kidée: Road Warrior from Bookmarklet

ow - Michael W. May

But....it's worth it for sexy legs, right? Right?! - Just Kidée: Road Warrior

"If I had to guess, I'd estimate that for every person who has been weight training and getting good results, there's probably about 50 other people whose results absolutely suck. Some will give it a try for a certain period of time, get no where, and then give up for good. Others will do the same, only they'll periodically try again, get the same sucky results, and quit only to repeat this all over again every few months or years (or annually as part of their New Year's Resolution). The rest have all of the dedication in the world and will never give up. Instead, they'll consistently get virtually no where... forever." - Just Kidée: Road Warrior from Bookmarklet

"So ladies, what should you be doing in the gym? You should be working out like a guy who wants to gain 100lbs of muscle and be able to pick up cars and throw them down the street with their bare hands. Alright, that's a bit extreme, but I'm just trying to make a point. You need to push yourself (safely, of course). You need to challenge your body. You need to do more than pick up the... more... - Just Kidée: Road Warrior

I know I bulk up quickly so I do better doing more reps with lighter weights. - Shevonne

"Since May, Drew Manning has gained about 70 pounds on purpose. And he’s not done yet. Drew is a personal trainer and has always been the “fit guy.” He’s now on a journey he calls Fit 2 Fat 2 Fit where he spends six months (he has about 4 weeks left) eating unhealthy food and not exercising, then he will take six more months to get fit again. Why? To experience for himself what it’s like to be overweight, how tough it is to lose weight, and ultimately show others how to get fit. But this is sooo extreme! And I hate that Drew is deliberately making himself unhealthy" - Just Kidée: Road Warrior from Bookmarklet

I actually admire that he's willing to do it. That's a pretty serious commitment to cultivating empathy with his clients. - Spidra Webster

Awesome Katie is awesome - Johnny from iPhone

:D - Just Kidée: Road Warrior

You go, Katie! :) - imabonehead

"We're live at Motorola's event in New York, where Sanjay Jha just announced a pretty broad leap into the fitness space with MOTOACTV. It's a 46mm square Android-powered device that in addition to tracking your fitness regiment with its own website also serves as an MP3 player. The big plus, though, is that it's entirely wireless. Headphones, heart-rate tracker. No wires. And, yes, it looks like an iPod Nano with buttons." - Just Kidée: Road Warrior from Bookmarklet

Yeah I think my chest strap can do Bluetooth but it doesn't transmit properly and that's the chest strap's issue. - Just Kidée: Road Warrior

You go, girl! Awesome job. Slow and steady is the way to keep it off. :) - Curtis (a) Jackson

It took a year to drop that first 10 lbs. So to drop another two is wonderful. I'm in no hurry just happy to be healthier :) - Just Kidée: Road Warrior

Well that was uninspired - Just Kidée: Road Warrior from YouFeed

oh God is beatifull!!!!!! :) - Ferzvladimir

wao! :) - Ferzvladimir

Trying to set up some schedule where we go from school to karate and then to the gym. I have a 6 month free pass to the Y and they have free child care so my preference is to go there. - Just Kidée: Road Warrior

Do you get to go down the slides mid race? - SteVe C

Damn, this is only the 2nd time this race is being run. I was trying not to sign up for newish races after that last two being horribly unorganized due to not having many races under their belts. - Just Kidée: Road Warrior
