Hardcore Workout Buddy

NicoleSill — Tue, 26 May 2009 04:00:56 GMT

So I am still not sure how this whole Active.com thing works, but I am trying to find a hard core workout buddy who is not afraid to kill themselves AND their buddy during a workout!! (Know of anybody?) I workout at the Pt. Loma 24hour Fitness and can workout either in the early mornings before about 8 or evenings after about 530. I would prefer a workout buddy who is a guy, simply because most gals can't hang or dont have the same goals that I do (but if you are a crazy lifting sista, then lets hit it!)

I typically work out 5-6 days a week, and my weight training sessions usually last about an hour and a half. Don't necessarily need a cardio buddy, but if you want one, I am up to it!!

Shoot me a line if you are interested!!

Get Summer Fit/Active Trainer

First of all, is anybody else doing this program? I just downloaded and started on Tuesday.

I want to know if you are supposed to (a) do the 1st set...rest....2nd set.......move on to next exercise, or (b) is this workout to be done like a circuit. i.e. do 1 set of each exercise, back to back, then rest and then do your 2nd sets, all back to back?

Also, if there isnt one already, I'd like to start a little support thread here and have a daily check-in, if you are going through this same program. It would almost feel as if we had a little group and could offer support, advice, congrats on progress, ect..

The download is free, by the way.

Seeking a North Side Chicago Ballys Member to lift with?

Jeremy Brizzi — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 20:55:13 GMT

Anyone looking for a partner, someone to lift and run with? Boy, girl, gay, straight....I don't care.

I live on the North side of Chicago and go to the Bally at Century City (Clark and Diversy). I'm will to hit the loop Bally or Webster Place too. I don't care, I'm just sick of having no one to lift with. All my friends gave up already or don't live in the city anymore.

I'm 31, 5'10", 170 lbs and have an average build.

I'm married, don't do drugs and like to think I'm interesting enough to hang out with. I don't care if your an experienced lifter or just starting out.

I run between 10-20 miles a week, average between 6:30 to 7:30 minute miles and lift 3-5 days a week. I have a focused diet and try to stick to it, though I do go off the map one or two meals a week. I'm competitive but not obsessive and in a way that motivates. If you would like to discuss training (312-513-7189 / jeremybrizzi@hotmail.com), or meet for a run...anything, I'm really only trying to find a spotter and someone to stay motivated with. I can work out most any evening after work (8-4:30) and any time on the weekend. I'm a very reliable and dedicated person.

Sincerely,

Jeremy Brizzi
