Re: im proud i finally started working out.
Good for you hon. Excercize is addictive, I bet you get really into it. I'm looking forward to seeing some pics of your new hot toned bod soon. ;)

Re: im proud i finally started working out.
Good for you!! That's awesome and way better than diving into some hardcore routine and hurting yourself or not sticking with it

I just started working out too, like seriously and it's not fun! My husband is all the time talking about how much fun it is , im glad im not the only one. I would much rather be on the couch watching re runs( and eating butter lovers popcorn...no more).
Keep it up :)

Re: im proud i finally started working out.
yay! i love working out. it makes me feel so sexy. i used to whenever i could right before work;i would be so high from it and usually had really good nights. now i do it because i havent been to work in over a month and i see the difference not getting that work out makes.
-
Re: im proud i finally started working out.
when will i get that workout high? all i feel is tired so far lol.
-
Re: im proud i finally started working out.
I was getting the workout high during the second week, I'd say.
-
Re: im proud i finally started working out.
i never got a work out high. i dont really work out anymore cause i'm lazy and i get more depressed that i can't run more than two miles anymore.
-
Re: im proud i finally started working out.
I used to get it, I guess I just I got myself into a rut because now I'm just watching the timer and willing it to move faster.
-
Re: im proud i finally started working out.
I start my diet and workout combo tomorrow and im excited. I always got the high not while im doing it though but afterwards. I haven't worked out in a really long time like 7 months or so. Im a little worried i'll get tired fast or something.

Re: im proud i finally started working out.
Good for you! Hey thats alot when you don't normally workout. That's really good. Accomplishment comes in a little at a time. It takes a good 2 weeks to see some results of working out.

Re: im proud i finally started working out.
ok question, im still really sore from starting my pilates 2 days ago, do i still go ahead and do it again today or should i just go walk another 2 miles?
-
Re: im proud i finally started working out.
I'd say keep on doing the pilates. Since you weren't very active before it's going to take your body a while to get used to it.
On a side note, I just got a wii fit and I'm seriously already looking more toned after a little over a week. I hate working out too, but I get excited about using it and I actually *want* to do it. Maybe try looking into getting one of those?
-
Re: im proud i finally started working out.
Yay for you!
I hate exercise, the only time I ever got a high off it was when I was kickboxing, I felt all sexy and cool and tough, hehe so I really pushed myself past my limits. I would go so hard, I think it was doing a really intense workout that released the endorphins (spl?)... but I am just guessing, not sure if that scientifically correct!

Re: im proud i finally started working out.
i tried to do pilates today but between moy body in pain from the other day and my ankles sore from yesterday i failed....booo.
-
Re: im proud i finally started working out.
I recently started working out again after taking a hiatus.lol. and I love it. I feel tired and my body aches but while I'm working out I remind myself how hot my body will look after a few months of doing this.
Now that you started working out you're not going to want to be a couch potato anymore... when I go a few days without working out I start to feel fat and feel the need to hop back in the gym.

yay! :) but you dont have to do something every day. it's ok not to. your muscles need a break and you dont want to burn yourself out! i try to do something every day but i have, lets say, some issues w my body :-[ i get frustrated sometimes and feel guilty when i don't do anything, or when i start but give up, and you don't want to be like that.

Re: im proud i finally started working out.

Re: im proud i finally started working out.
It must be from walking. I've been doing pilates for a while and it didn't hurt my ankle at all, but I remember my whole body was sore ;D Just keep going. Maybe you need to walk a little less than 2 miles and then when your body get used to it, try to walk more miles.

Re: im proud i finally started working out.
Your ankles shouldn't be hurting. How old are you workout shoes? If they are older than 6 months of use then you need new ones. Also consider the way you walk.
Here is an article on running shoes (you can use the same idea for walking shoes):
"How to decide which type of running shoe you need:
The first step is deciding the type of foot you have - it is probably the most important aspect of matching a brand and model of running shoe to the individual. During normal running (and walking), the outside of the heel strikes the ground first (supinated position) - this is why the wear is common in this area. The foot then rolls inward and flattens out along the longitudinal arch-pronation (pronation). The foot should then supinate by rolling through the ball - this helps make the foot a rigid lever for efficient propulsion. A number of different biomechanical problems can interfere with these normal motions. A running shoe can help facilitate this normal function and help overcome many of the minor biomechanical problems that interfere with a motion. An inappropriate running shoe can actually have the effect of interfering with this normal function.
Usually, most runners who develop an injury either supinate (roll out) or pronate (roll in) too much. Normal amounts of pronation and supination are needed for normal function, but abnormal amounts increase the risk for injury.
Excessive pronation is the most common cause of running injury. A pronated foot rolls inwards at the ankle, the midfoot bulges inwards and the longitudinal arch flattens. Those who over-pronate generally have very flexible and unstable feet, so need running shoes with a lot of motion control. A motion control shoe has design features that give a high level of support - a firmer anti-pronation post on the inside of the midsole; a firm or dual density midsole; and a a firm heel counter.
A supinated foot rolls outwards at the ankle and has a high arch. They tend to be more rigid and are very poor at absorbing shock, so they will need running shoes with a lot of cushioning. Cushioned shoes tend to be poor at motion control.
The amount of excessive pronation or supination present will determine if you need a neutral running shoe with an even amount of mild motion control and mild shock absorption; or a running shoe designed for mild, moderate or severe amount of pronation, with mild, moderate, or severe motion control or stability; or a running shoe for mild, moderate or severe amount of supination, with varying degrees of shock absorption or cushioning."
