^ Wow i hope you feel better i hate coming off of a flu or cold, it feels like i'm weak!

Yesterday i played in summer league for volleyball, they had more than 10 full teams there, 2 gyms, 4 courts, NO AIR CONDITIONING. It was horrible! And when i wear that particular sports bra, i get the shape of a smiley face AND a heart on my back, in sweat! It was so gross!

During the school year I dance Monday-Friday for at least 2 hours per day. I love dance! And during the summer I take a few dance camps but they only last a week. So, recently to keep my flexibility I've been stretching almost everyday. I also do crunches after I stretch!

[volleyceline]

^ Awesome!

Burning a lot of calories with summer open gyms, and league.
Need to burn more for this bikini

Starting to get a little nervous, my half marathon is coming in two weeks... On Saturday on the 2nd of July!! And I'm just a little bit worried cause lately I haven't been able to practice as much as I should've, as I've been sick and stuff... The longest way I've run is about 11 km, and it worries me a little that in two weeks I should run double the distance...  
I was counting that I could still go running about 5 to 6 times before the race.. yikes!!!

I'm also wondering whether I should make a quick appointment to the doctor's, before I attend the race, just to check out and be sure that everything is basically ok with my health. I know it's just a half marathon, and I'm probably making a bigger deal out of it than it is, but it would just be to get my mind at ease... Cause I tend to worry so much about everything that could be wrong!

I think I'm getting more flexible from my stretching!

[ferjaacu]

Do you do any work-out routines, physical exercises, workout, yoga, pilates, or etc.?

I would like to know what you like to do and how disciplined you are.

Physical health is so important.

I did my workout today, and I think I worked myself too hard, because now I have a headache...  

I like running but I have athlete's asthma or whatever it is called so my lungs hurt quickly when I run.
I also like sports-- baseball, soccer, basketball, roller hockey..etc.
I wish we were like Europe and could walk to places we want to go to.  Us Americans rely on driving so much that its one reason why we have such a high obesity rate...but also because of all the chemicals in our foods!!

[SensationalCeline]

I run for 30 minutes a day and then do step on the Wii Fit.  I've also restricted calories so I'll get more effective results.

[volleyceline]

^ Nice!

[Haheather]

I just had THE BEST idea for losing weight!

[reamary]

Oh god, the half marathon is TOMORROW!!!! And I am neeeeeervous!!! There's supposed to be +28 degrees (Celsius) and the weather is very humid so it feels like a tropic here right now, and the race starts at 13.20, so the worst time of the day (the hottest I mean).... So I'm a little (a lot!) worried.. But, I guess it's like everyone keeps saying, that I just have to remember to drink often and enough, and just take it really slow...
But still I'm nervous and worried! But I try to keep in mind that I can always start walking and even quit the race if I start to feel sick or something.... Ahh, exciting!!!

It's done, I did it!!!!     And it was SO awesome, I'm so happy!!!
It was super hot, about +30 degrees at some point, but I ran very slowly and drank a lot and poured water on my head and neck many times. So I didn't start to feel bad at any point. My time was 2 h 34 min, but my only goal was to cross the finish line, so I can't be anything but happy and very satisfied with that!! When I crossed the finish line, I almost had tears in my eyes right afterwards, the feeling was just so awesome.. wow! And I'm definitely going again another time!!
Yay!  

[volleyceline]

^ That's AWESOME!!!!! Congratulations

^^ Thanks a lot!!

I haven't been to open gym in 2 weeks, since i've been out of town. God help me when I return on Wednesday

[Soloni]

I walk for about 1-2 hours every day... you like power walking, since I can't run very long because of my knee. And then like every other day i rollerskate like 20-40 km... in vacations on rainy day I go swimming and Swim like 1.5 km or so...

[volleyceline]

It's been so  hot here, i wish i could go out and do something, but i have to wait til it's the afternoon, when it's full of mosquitoes out

[volleyceline]

Feeling sore is bittersweet, because it's bothersome to move, but it reminds your that your muscles are growing

I think it wouldn't be too much to ask for the gym to have air conditioning and COLD water...  

Damn cheap school district  

[swimmer]

^hate when that happens.     Sometimes it is worse than being outside!!!  

[volleyceline]

^ It was actually a relief to go outside! That's how bad it was! We all wanted to run stadiums on the field than be inside the stinkin gym!

Yeah! It's a wonderful feeling after all!!

Ouch, I was on BodyPump class today and my upper back/shoulder area is so "stuck", that a few times I almost felt a little dizzy/sick during some moves.. :/ Not much, but a little. But I know it's because of my shoulders, and I guess some nerves in my upper back are a bit jammed too, which makes my right hand sometimes feel a little numb, or more like makes it "tingle".. I've had it before too, not for a while though. But I hope it'll get better after a few days of extra shoulder training, you know to make them move and get the blood flow there.
Of course it would probably be a good idea to also have a little break from sitting on the computer....  

[volleyceline]

Ouch!! You should go get a massage!

[reamary]

^ Yeah, maybe I should. And then do some shoulder exercises with very light weights, to get the shoulders move, that's what's most helpful I think. And tomorrow I think I'll go to Zumba, it does good cause you can shake your whole upper body like crazy there!  

[reamary]

By the way Kay (was it?), I meant to ask you, have you ever tried BodyStep??
