lol...oh no...I know :) I was saying you're def. right about the muscles!! Thats my goal and what I'm working on...if it doesnt kill me first, haha!!


Steve: I want to look firm :) I also want to be as flexible as Val (not that i've SEEN her flexibility...lol) I'm only assuming someone who does as much yoga as she does is mucho flexible.
 
Yea, strength training would do you a ton of good if applied properly.

And yoga, foam rolling and dynamic mobility drills would all do your flexibility good.

I will get more pictures of me practicing asanas. I'm very mobile in the hammies, forward bends with a flat back are comfortable and easy for me :) Side splits? NOT so much!

Yeah!!! post more of your yoga pics!!! ....splits.....lol....I shouldnt even say the WORD split...**sigh** :smilielol5:
I have a horrible back and went to the chiropractor...is that spelled right?...anyways, when I was younger and my back still kills me. I think it started back when I played soccer and did alot of horseback riding. I really think yoga would help my back! Just from the little bit of stretching I've been working on in the mornings and evenings my back feels less tense!

a) don't let that bother you. you have it going on with your body.

b) yes, you should progress with that resistance training program coupled with an appropriate diet and some cardio as you see fit. favorable body recomposition is the goal at this point, which will include tapping into what little fat stores you have while hopefully adding some muscle.

c) you'll want to be sure once you're comfortable that you focus on progressing the exercises in terms of weight lifted nice and consistently using small jumps in weight.

Everything I'm saying is very open ended and loose here... obviously there are details in the diet that are important like adequate protein, etc... but I'm hoping you catch my drift.

I'm all ears :bigear: I don't think I get enough protein, I should work on that! I don't know why I favor cardio over resistance training....but I'll switch that up.
 
WOW, ok, I can speak about this because as far as I know, I'm the one who practices the most Yoga on here: it's not THAT much better for sex, geez! Maybe I need to watch Yoga-related porn and get more ideas. is pretty good though, but with both legs.

Most people favor cardio over weight training b/c they don't understand it enough as it applies to how the body adapts and how it correlates to specific goals.

They like cardio b/c of it's immediate effects. It leaves you sweating and short of breath, and most people correlate these things to losing weight.

Weight training, in most contexts, doesn't do these things. Ignorance leads many to believe b/c weight training doesn't *feel like* cardio, it's not as effective for fat loss.

That's my take anyhow.

If you're having trouble getting protein in, maybe you should supplement your intake a bit.

It is very effective. That's how I got to looking but I was also dieting, not drinking much alcohol, and RUNNING as well--weight lifting about 3 times a week and running 3 times a week, and kickboxing 2xs a week-kinda a lot :ack2:
 
Yup, the synergistic effect of weight training, cardio and diet is quite powerful.

But weight training is a huge component in it.
