    Pre-Workout Supplement Thread

    I personally love the Beachbody pre workout drink, it gets me ready for a workout and it tastes great. I have tried a lot of pre workout and they taste disgusting and I can honestly say Beachbody's is the best tasting one. Also I have had problems with pre workout in the past where I get the...

    comments and suggestions on balancing life and training etc

    When I find I am really busy and having a hard time making it to the gym I like doing programs at home. It gives me the freedom of a more flexible schedule and this can also be a chance for family time while you exercise. The kids can become weights or obstacles. It's a great bonding...

    Have you done the Tough Mudder or something like it

    Did it and loved it! I run often but never really more than 8k's but the course being about 20k's wasn't an issue at all. You never really run more than 3-5k's at a time before another obstacle. I never do pullups, which was an issue for me. 2 of the guys on my team rock climb regularly, and...

    winter cardio sugestions

    I hate going to the gym just to run on a treadmill but during the winter that's one way I usually get my cardio in. I only have a pair of dumbbells at home so when I exercise at home I usually try to do a bunch of moves that only incorporate my body weight or dumbbells. I've recently been...

    Working out after a new born.

    Have you done a tough mudder before?? If not I would try to follow a beginners half marathon training schedule. I was looking at marathon and half marathon training programs/schedules the other day and for the beginner one there really aren't a ton of miles you have to run except for one day. If...

    What do you eat after a workout when trying to lose weight?

    Get good veggies in afterwards, a spinach salad (with minimal non fatty dressing) is great because you can eat a lot of it and it is very low in calories. Fiber filled veggies will help you stay fuller longer and refuel you. Protein like grilled chicken with nothing on it is great for post...

    Anyone used TRX training?

    I worked with a personal trainer for a few sessions and we used TRX to warmup as well as use it for some actual exercises. When I used it I did many variations of squats including one leg squats, flys, planks with my feet in the handles, triceps extensions, and low rows. I really liked it but...

    Running

    Love running as well. I actually don't really feel 'in shape' unless my stamina is high. I like to run normal paced (not slow, but not super fast) and for a distance around 5-10k. I also like to run stairs or hills for added difficulty and to also help build a bit more definition in my legs/bum...

    Workout Equipment for beginner teen

    Another addition to a power rack could be a pull up bar...they are the least expensive piece of equipment you could get that gives great results. One that has different grip options would be best so you can work out all areas of your shoulders as well as your back. Beachbody has one that I've...

    Pain ointment of choice

    When I would have long pre season days and camps, I would lightly use icyhot cause you never really had a chance to rest, but I would suggest trying to stretch and rest as much as you can before you have to turn to ointments. Stretching and rest is what will really help your cause, ointments...

    Surfing..

    I surf pretty often, and while it didn't necessarily improve the look of my abs, it does build a strong core because of balance. My arms, shoulders, and back on the other hand significantly got more lean and toned. I run regularly and do other exercises so it's a great combo to do all of these!
