it was a both upper and lower body. Lifting, etc. then a leg exercise where you have a bag of sand over your shoulders, then you do these wierd steps, that you bring your knee to the ground. Now I just do upper body one day, the lower the other. I also jog / walk each day..... I'll go on Google Earth to see how far

You know, there's a lot of stuff that you can do at home....just simple stuff. Don't mean to sound like a know it all, but theres a lot of stuff that's easier on your body, and quite helpful.

Like a lunge? With sandbags?? Sounds heinous.

I'm training for a triathlon so I swim/bike or swim/run 5 times a week and do strength 2-4 times a week. I started a new strength training program that's killing me!! But I can totally see the difference!

Yes! Lunge is what they called it....... terribe stuff, but I still do it (half the time lol). The first time, I forgot to stretch. I felt that for a good week lol

15 minutes?!?!?1 *jaw drops* I start to shake after ONE minute!!! (Actually I haven't done those in awhile, since I felt like such a wuss. I should try it again now that I'm such a badass LOL)

Originally posted by U2Nick[..]

never heard of them I'll try them....... would it be okay if you told me how?

Yeah, no problem. Basically squat (The only way I can think of explaining it is the toilet postion. lol) against a wall, and keep your back straight up against the wall, without moving.

will do! We also did something like this, except we weren't against a wall, and had a bag of sand on our shoulders lol
