Thats around 5.33mph, not bad if you just started after a window of dormancy.
thanks but i use to be able to run so much faster and without the constant breaks.
..
i signed my self for a 5k run…so now i m a little more motivated 
i did start after a while (after like 6 months)
Re: Gymming Log!
My sad story
did about a half hour cardio today. Can't go above 5.0 MPH, which is kinda sad when I see the ppl around me are easily at 9, 10, 11 MPH. Also did alo tof walking tonight (like 20 blocks).
Re: Gymming Log!
^^ dont worry, give it some time and u will be running too.
Re: Gymming Log!
my thighs are soreeee today. and just with cardio.
Re: Gymming Log!
went running again yesterday...still slow but feels good.
Re: Gymming Log!
I'm a slow runner too :) can only do short bouts of sprinting. But if I run slowly (jog) I can go for longer - average speed 6.0km/hour at gradients between 1 and 3%.
Re: Gymming Log!
I was impressed catty, until I saw the 'km'! lol we're sooo used to mph here!
You guys should try like 5 or 10 minute intervals where you can bump up your speed and sweat it up, get the heart rate past 150! Engaging in a challenge helps, your body adapts to it and you build up stamina.
Re: Gymming Log!
^ i tried that, but after the fast speed interval ended...i walked soooo slow...didn't have energy to pick up speed for the next fast interval.
originally when i first started to run (a year n half ago) i tried few different methods of running...and what worked for me was jogging at a slow speed...n building up my stamina slowly. I am hoping to do that again, i knw it will take some time but iA ill be able to in few months or so :)
Re: Gymming Log!
ok any tips on how to avoid sagging, loose skin that comes with the weight loss?!?..........cuz it wud suck first to loose weight n then to deal with the loose skin :(................finally i think i am getting use to my routine n loosing lil weight but i m afraid that i mite end up with some loose skin cuz people say you can get it if u loose even like 10 pounds!?!..
so ya thats scaring me cuz i have alot more than 10 pounds to loose which i m finally loosing and m happy abt thta but this greeeeeeeeee.....what to do?
Re: Gymming Log!
^^ thats shouldn't be a problem...if we are only talking abt 10 lbs. my best friends lost more thn 40 lbs and had very little loose skin. i myself didn't have that problem either.
Re: Gymming Log!
wow really....thats good news then :) if u dont mind me asking, how much did you loose?. So anyways, your frnd who lost 40 lbs you are sayin she had little loose skin? but did she tried toning it up or anything?....cuz there r like 100000000000 diff things on net some says u wl get little loose skin but with time it tones up on its own some say with toning excercise it wl be fine. And ofcourse then there are some that says if you do strength traning along with cardio n other stuff you wont get loose skin...etc etc....so ya i m hping for the best cuz i hate gyming lol but i m doing it now to get rid of the extra weight which now is working fine great so i dont want to end up with something whcih would make me kay whattt? i worked this hard to end up with some other problem...if u know wat i mean.....
Re: Gymming Log!
well...abt my weight ...i lost over 40 lbs as well but over a 2 year period. i worked out a lot, and ate little (college days u can get away with that) but i didn't have loose skin either. i am cardio freak, i did very little strght. training. BUT i have gained 20 of those lbs back (in the last year or so, due to family issus causing stress and not having time to workout ) :( ...so i m working out again in hopes to lose the weight again, n inshallah will do.
but for my bf i knw she use to do Pilates/yoga + other cardio...and she has only gained like 5 lbs back...she also does the "no crab" diet...and sticks to it religously.
Re: Gymming Log!
ok...but i was talkin abt the loose skin :P lol, u said she had some so did that change over period of time!?!.........anywayz thanks for the help :-)
Re: Gymming Log!
Also, i had diarohea was hospitalized for half a day yesterday...........so when do i start excercising?!?...........rite now i feel alot better but low on energy so how many days more?!? :(
Re: Gymming Log!
there's no loose skin with losing around 10-20 pounds however....u do get stretch marks sometimes on your skin.
Re: Gymming Log!
Skipped gym yesterday cz i was exhausted, also my legs were hurtinggggg
Today, did a half hour of cardio (10 treadmill, a fast walk at a high incline with 5 lb weights), 10 on elliptical, followed by ab exercises, and a last 10 minutes running)
ab exercises - 50 situps (10 on the floor, 30 on the ball, 10 on the bench), bar twist, dumbell raise, and "bicycle" for the sides/obliques.
I will feel it tomorrow =|
Re: Gymming Log!
Im so disappointed, i dont feel sore at all 
That means i dint work hard enough?
Re: Gymming Log!
soreness is not an indication that u had a good workout. Soreness occurs only when a muscle is not used to an exercise.. and if u hit it hard enough , u get soreness.. u keep working on it .. and u wont feel soreness at all, because its gotten used to it.
