I hope it does, as I find them so uncomfortable. I would just need this watch for the gym, for lifting, as I have a Garmin forrunner 110 gps watch for runs. Thank you so much!!!

However, since I'm just starting out...I'm still not sure what to do when I do lift. Are you able to be more specific about what you're doing on your gym days (i.e. upper body and leg days)? How many reps and sets? What exercises to do on those days? I guess I'm in the same boat as Tammy, and need your help and guidance, PLEASE! Thanks so much!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18381328717377383157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845163767431737519.post-81724856894375427632013-03-13T22:28:46.362-07:002013-03-13T22:28:46.362-07:00Just hot yoga!

But I like to mix my classes up depending on how I have lifted that week with other instructors' styles :)RAEviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987230952593853380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845163767431737519.post-76692876074996525712013-03-13T22:24:29.609-07:002013-03-13T22:24:29.609-07:00Hey Rae just wondering if you actually go to a Bik...Hey Rae just wondering if you actually go to a Bikram studio for hot yoga or if it's a general hot yoga. As a yogi myself, I quit the Bikram scene after it got a little redundant. As of now I only practice Ashtanga and power yoga. Any specifics on your practice?Jacquishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14925586240756185546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845163767431737519.post-76410313490447387282013-02-25T23:01:47.294-08:002013-02-25T23:01:47.294-08:00Finally got around to following your blog D:
Heh...Finally got around to following your blog D: <br /><br />Heh, I wish I had someone like you in my life, lol.. Pay for my gym membership! XD jk.. More like, I wish I had someone to go lifting with. I like the alone-time when I go lifting, but it'd be nice to have someone to talk to / laugh with while at the gym. I guess it's my fault since I go early in the morning before work. None of my friends are morning people =_=<br /><br />Anyway, I'm amazed at your DL max! I'm 5'3"/140lbs. and my 5RM is 185lbs. Good job! :Dkodomo ja naihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07332996882853797407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845163767431737519.post-27929124633639998412013-02-10T14:40:50.159-08:002013-02-10T14:40:50.159-08:00Ahh! Rae, I wish I had a friend like you - for me,...Ahh! Rae, I wish I had a friend like you - for me, the harder part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the diet aspect! Though I've always known theoretically that fitness is both exercise AND diet, it wasn't only until recently that I'm realizing how true that is. Before, I thought I could eat whatever I wanted (fried, carbs, sodas, sweets, always eating out, you name it!) because my frame has been on the naturally more petite side and I spent most of high school and college on a dance team. But now that I'm A) getting older and realizing that my metabolism can't take those kinds of hits anymore B) six months out of school and in a typical adult/career setting (where my "busy lifestyle" becomes an excuse and I end up just doing take-out/easy bad foods), I've been noticing that the years of bad dietary choices/habits just all-of-a-sudden seem to blow up on my body and in my overall energy level!<br /><br />You seem like such an encouraging and educated figure in your friend Tammy's life - she is really lucky to have you to motivate her and teach her how to embrace a balanced understanding of fitness! I really appreciate the time you put in these fitness updates and your fitness videos because they are so helpful! If possible, could you consider doing more instructional videos or blog posts on beginners "how-tos" on healthy eating ("eat clean" was a pretty relatively new concept to me, sadly) and healthy cooking? As an adult, I realized I don't know how to take charge of my meals in a healthy way. Where should a wannabe healthy-eater begin? With what foods and what recipes?<br /><br />In any case, you are an inspiration. Thanks for the post!skimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01029472783796491028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845163767431737519.post-16075965312924810342013-02-08T19:26:27.899-08:002013-02-08T19:26:27.899-08:00Your determination just re-motivate me!

I started going to the last summer and went every week and even got a personal trainer to help me and guide me through work outs. I felt amazing and finally healthy and was full of energy! Until I was experience pains in my hip and lower abdomen, not because of the work outs, but because I had ovary cyst that was causing me pain and had to be surgically removed, and then I had an abnormal appendix that also removed and my immune system grew weak, and I got sick. I'm still in recovery from the surgeries and a few stitches being reopened (never do Wii-Fit while recovering lol), I felt weak and felt like I undid all the hard work I did in 4 months. Lately I have been extremely busy with school and working full time no time for anything and now all of that just seem like an excuse for me to not hit the gym( also doctors orders said no gym for another month), but once they have cleared me I'm sooooo hitting the gym from now on! You have no idea how much I appreciate this blog post and how motivated you have got me.<br /><br />Thank you so much! You're body and the work you put in is absolutely amazing! <br /><br /><3 KristaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09736601195957266509noreply@blogger.com
