I have been doing really well on my weight training but I need inspiration for cardio. Anyone have fun or quirky cardio workouts you would recommend?

You could go old school and Jazzercise!

I am pleased to report I made good use out of my bike earlier today by riding it to church and back (about 3-4 miles is all, but still good to get done).

Seems like everyone was back at the gym today! Had a good workout and meal prepped yesterday. Time to soak in the tub and relax.

Warming up here and riding my bike through a beautiful park every day this week.

A heavy bag is a great cardio workout, 5 x 5 minutes with a 30 second rest in between

That sounds like a good alternative to what I have been doing. Thanks Leigh!

Got a great walk in after work...but would've gone further if it wasn't so warm out.

@Brianna_38 You are so sweet. Thank you and I feel the same about you. I truly appreciate your posts. I’ve been so busy lately, I haven’t had much time to be on Lit. But whenever I do you always make me smile. Thank you again.

I've been absent from Lit for a while, it was nice to see the sweat thread still alive. I love the morning positivity posts!!
My fitness journey is going OK, I started working on working out daily in Dec and have managed to keep it as a habit so I'm super happy about that. I've dropped 30 pounds and am about 15-20 from my goal at this point.

Tomorrow I am back in the pool after a week off and I can't wait!

Is this some kind of strap on training? Lol

I’m so relieved to finally finish moving and have my home workout equipment set up again. It’s been months.

I couldn’t sleep last night so this morning I got out of bed at 5am and went for a run. Then came back and lifted.

Now it’s time to sit back, relax, enjoy my morning coffee feeling like I’ve already accomplished a day.

And the family is still quietly asleep.

 

[Wishingbox]

I love days like that! Great job! I'm getting set up now to get my workout done for the day. It's gonna be a hot one today!

Awesome you got this! Push yourself hard and break that sweat!

The past few days have been much hotter than normal here too so this morning workout was refreshing and far more enjoyable.

Morning run before the household and the days heat wake up.

Update: it went great. Ran further than before and beat the heat. It was starting to get warm out there. I’m glad I ran right when I woke up.

I had a very nice 13 miles bike ride this morning while it was cool out

 

[WishesforRome]

All I've wanted this week between 2 jogs and golfing was stretching and yoga so it's all I have done. Someday weights may be back in my life! Thanks for all the positivity and inspiration here!!

I spent several hours today and yesterday hauling boxes of prizes to the elementary school for their auction fundraiser. I got sweaty. And also my back hurts. I did not lift with my legs like everyone says to.

Hoping you’re feeling better this morning, WJ!

Good morning everyone! This is why I check in every day (also because I adore @Love_Is_Blonde, but that's besides the point )
Love and hugs for all. Have a wonderful day!

Thank you for this

I plan on surrounding myself with some of my friends I haven’t seen in a while today. Headed to brunch. Then later today, yard work, and a walk.

Hope you all have a great Sunday.

Hey everyone. I know that I don't post much here, mainly because I am usually not doing anything new with my routine. But today I am looking for any advice or insight any of you might have. For the past five months, I have had issues with pain in the middle of my right quad. It seems to wax and wane, but never completely resolves, and only occurs with a couple activities, but seems to have gotten worse recently. I don't recall any precipitating injury or event.

It hurts when I walk down stairs, but not when I step down with my right foot. The sharp pain occurs more when I am stepping down onto the opposite foot. It’s like the quad can’t take being flexed that much while being weight bearing. Even if the pain isn't bad when I start going down the stairs, by the last flight I am only going down one step at a time starting with the right foot. It’s weird. There is some pain when stepping up onto a step with the right foot. We live in a third floor walkup, of course.

The other time it hurts is when I stand up after sitting or lying down for a while and try to step onto my right foot. When I put full weight onto that foot there's a significant sharp pain that radiates towards both the knee and hip. After a few steps, the sharp pain recedes.

I have tried stretching it, soaking in Epsom salt baths, using BioFreeze gel, and taking ibuprofen. They all seem to help, although just for a time and never completely. I know that I should probably go and see my primary care doctor, but I am pretty sure that the doctor will tell me that it’s probably a pulled muscle and I need to rest it. So that’s what I am finally doing. I haven’t done the elliptical in over a week, as it got to the point where it would start to hurt after about 20 minutes.

I guess this post is a combination of venting my frustration and of seeing if anyone has experienced this themselves. I feel like I had finally gotten into a good groove with exercise. Now I worry that I might fall off the wagon. Any insight or advice will be very appreciated.

If you can get it where you live marijuana creams or lotions work if they are made properly
