Electrolytes! Are you cramping after a workout?

TX runners — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 18:51:49 GMT

My calves used to cramp all the time after I worked out...now they dont- thanks to a friend that introduced me to enlyten electrolyte strips. These strips dissolve quickly in your mouth and are very convenient to use. I always take these before, during, and post workout! Do you want to try some samples? www.enlyten.com/angelas to see other products.

high year tenure

imoreno — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 20:36:18 GMT

I am a second class that has 5 yrs active duty and just starting on my second year in the reserves. I would like to go to BUD/s. I met all the requirements and have taken the PST but I was talking to a NSW recruiter over the phone and he said that I would have to give up a rank in order to go. I have no problem with that but my question is if I go back down to E-4 will my reserve time count toward high year tenure. If so, is it possible to get a waiver for the duration of the pipeline

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Disregard, I got my answer

IT Band issues

XhaksawX — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 01:27:49 GMT

I have been having pain with my IT band lately. After I first experenced the pain I took 2 weeks off from running and I did Crossfit to help strengthen the area. The pain went competly away after about a week. Today I did a run and after about the second mile it started hurting again. I ship on the 24 of this month and I don't want to ship injured because that would be stupid. But on the 30th of this month I will have been in DEP for a year. Should I just not run until I ship or what are my options? Thanks

During my two weeks off I used a foam roller 3x a day and went in for a deep tissue massage which really helped. I was also using the PUMA LIFT shoes which could have caused this too. I am not a heel striker. I run POSE and have been to the CFE cert

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

madmark33 — Fri, 22 May 2009 13:32:50 GMT

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.

Interval training

scubasatan — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 10:43:43 GMT

I got a question for the INT training part for the running.

My mile and half Run time is 12.00 so my Intervals should be 1.56-2.01. This seems very slow to me.

I find it hard to pace myself and im pushing 100% on these interval runs, my time is actually 1.26/1.37 and my last Intervals are slower than my first intervals. The PTG says I should be negative splitting. Finishing faster than I start.

So my question is should I slow down? Or go as fast as I can on these INT runs?

I guess I should slow down but I would like clarification

Thanks
