asics are my favorite running shoes, too.

went to the gym this morning and did:
20 mins on the bike.
2 mins on the rowing machine.
20 mins treadmill, fast walking.
17 mins on cross trainer - I am meant to do 20 mins but gave up.

I am finding that I am very tired after exercising, why is this?
I also went to the gym yesterday too soon after a large lunch and nearly threw up, never again!

I may go to boot camp tomorrow and i like the personal trainer but I also would prefer to go to the gym again. My goal is to get into the swimming pool.

you did quite a bit of cardio there, so depending on the intensity, I'd say you probably should be tired. Does it last though, or do you find you kind of get a burst of energy a couple hours later?

What's your nutrition like before and after?

Swimming is supposed to be great for you. I'd love to do that as well eventually, but I have other goals at the moment that I want to reach.

strong lifts really is very similar to starting strength, but IMHO strong lifts is harder. im trying to keep it simple bc im so new and dont want to get discouraged. maybe by next year ill do strong lifts or mad cow. everyone says mad cow is a good intermediate program.

omg dont you hate HATE it when a lift is weaker than the times before. its like wtf? i do everything right and i get this?!?!? lol

by next week i bet youre in the 190's for for reps.

Never heard of mad cow, but will check it out!

I might reduce my working weight for squats, and just do more reps. Doing "bizarre good mornings" is what I'm afraid of too...haha. As for bench, thanks for the encouragement, but I doubt I'll make much progress in the short term. I think I need a proper cage so I'm not freaked out about hurting myself.
