Okay, granted it has only been two weeks, but I felt wonderful today at the YMCA! I had added weight training to my walking as of this week and today when I was doing the machines I could feel the stretch from the previous two days workouts. Ya know, that slight discomfort in your muscles that feels more great than painful? It was awesome and I just wanted to share!

Way to go Lakegirl! Exercise can be so empowering!

Make sure to do an active cool down (5/10 min light bike/walking) after weights to reduce the lactic acid build up.

Yay, Lakegirl! I've been hitting it hard the last few weeks also, so I know exactly what you're talking about! Great job and enjoy!

that is great. Keep up the good work.

Good job! It can definitely be habit forming, keep it up! I get anxious now days if I can't get some exercise in every day.

I agree,.. I felt so guilty yesterday when i couldnt get any of the Leslie dvd in because of my knee,.. but I think I am going to try again today. If my knee startsd hurting too much, I will stop.

Lakegirl,.. congrats!!!! won't it feel great when we are all skinny minnies?..LOL Keep it up, don't overdo it though :-)

Way to Go! And I totally agree with you, it doesn't take long at all to feel the positive effects from working out!

Great Job! You're doing great and it'll just keep getting easier to stick with it as it becomes a great part of your life/routine.

Thank you everyone for your support! I love this place

Me too! Congratulations on your achievements so far, yay! I'm on the excercise wagon too, I've done 3 days in a row! Let's keep each other motivated. Good luck, LakeGirl!
