whoowho · 41-45, F
when was the last time you completed 55 min?
Carissimi · F
@whoowho I am sleep deprived overall, and my sinuses feel heavy. It's also humid, and no air conditioning. Maybe it's a combination of all the above plus the heavy weight training from yesterday.
whoowho · 41-45, F
@Carissimi There you go ☺. The air here is dense and heavy too. I just got done a hike and the combination of ragweed + humidity made the duration twice as long.
Carissimi · F
@whoowho That could be it. I was sweating much sooner than usual. Air density probably has (should say moisture density) an effect on performance.

Yes, you need to give your body time to recover, no matter what exercises you are doing and HIIT are certainly a drainer. Go to the gym and work out every other day not every day, it'll be better for you as it'll give your body time to make improvements and allow you to do more in the gym.
impulsive · 31-35, M
@Carissimi althoguh to add I would not do HIIT workouts on the same day as your weights, those are a real drainer and will just make it really tiring for you to do weights so you wouldn't get as much benefit out of them.
Carissimi · F
@impulsive 10-years ago, I had a personal trainer, and was in the best shape of my life. Weights and cardio on same days 3/week. I lost weight and looked great without dieting. Now, it seems no matter what I do, I can't get that back. I have built some muscle, I'm stronger and aerobically fitter, but can't seem to get the same shape and physique. I think a trainer pushes you harder than yourself.

@Carissimi I can agree with that, i don't have a trainer but i used to go alot with my brother and you can do alot more with someone else there to motivate you

I agree with what someone else said, likely factors to do with sleep and how you are feeling overall. I think you do fantastic with all you keep up with:)
Carissimi · F
Exercise keeps me going, Raven. Yes, it's probably a combination of factors. @ravenwind43
ravenwind43 · 51-55, F
@Carissimi I feel so much better exercising I know that.
Carissimi · F
@ravenwind43 Me too. If I don't exercise my joints stiffen after a few days. I always say that it's exercise that keeps me standing, and able to lug grocery bags up several flights of stairs without getting winded.

I could bake a cake in 50 minutes 😛
SW-User
Haha. I'm just teasing

Getting cold here añd I just start exercising again . I give it up inummers
@Carissimi
Carissimi · F
@SW-User I back off a bit in summer, but don't give it up entirely. Mainly go easier on the cardio. Weight lifting is easier in high humidity than jumping around.
SW-User
Oh I don't have the energy with all the work to be done gardening etc. Lol
Winter is snow shovelling
Spring and fall re my best times 👍
popmol · 26-30, M
don't start too hard. and mmhh is jumping jacks considers cardio i think its considered muscle training?
popmol · 26-30, M
@Carissimi maybe you did too much a day before? or didn't have enough rest pauzes and it all added up.?
Carissimi · F
@popmol I slept for 8-hours last night. That was the first time in years. The night before, I only got 3 hours before I was woken up, and stayed awake until 7 am. I often have disrupted sleep. Maybe it's that too.
popmol · 26-30, M
@Carissimi that will probably affect you really
Eddiesolds · 61-69, M

SW-User
Of course. You should've had rested up. Also maybe your pre workout meal wasn't on point
Carissimi · F
@SW-User Maybe.
Tellica · 22-25, F
There's something as too much training.
SW-User
You don't need external exercise, you need internal exercise - so just MEDITATE :)
Carissimi · F
Exercise is vital. You don't maintain muscle and healthy heart and lungs with meditation only. @SW-User
Groofydorkgerdo · 56-60, M
22 minutes? MINUTES??? Heck, I couldn't do 22 seconds let alone 22 minutes.
Carissimi · F
