Things you wish you knew when you started
- Thread starter Hoss
- Start date
If you eat 1/2 a large pizza and drink a gallon of beer once a week... and over-eat 2-3 other times durring the week... over the course of 7 years will cause you to gain 100 pounds... and you have to not pay attention to the enourmous mass of fat growing on your stomach!
Seriously...
- At first your body rejects excercise(for those who became sedentary)... you feel like garbage... then after you get over the initial freak out of your body... a week or so... it makes you feel GREAT!!!!!!
- I wish I new how great the sauna makes me feel.
- You don't always run as hard as you can for as long as you can... IE... going for a 3 mile run... you don't always try to run it as fast as you can... sometimes you try to run at a relaxed pace... one you can still talk at...
- follow a hard day of running with an easy day...
- What active stretching is..
- Second only to desire... shoes are your most important running tool!
- All cotton shirts make my nipples get sore when running.
- Excersize & diet promotes subcutaneous fat loss where diet alone... internal fat is lost more
- Hotdogs are 80% fat! DOH no wonder I like them soooo much!

Doing what the instructor does, on the screen in tapes, really matters !
- Gaining 50 pounds of fat and neglecting your legs is bad, even though your bench press goes up. I would rather weigh 200 pounds @ 12% body fat and bench press 275 pounds than weigh 250 pounds @ 25% body fat and bench press 400 pounds.
- Full squats and deadlifts are THE best exercises and should be the core of your workout
- do as many bent rows as you do bench presses, balanced development is what counts
- stretching and strengthening the joints will prevent sports and lifting injuries

Eating more can actually get you to your goals.
Eating less will make you FAT
Most roadblocks to a new fitness level are mental
Some butts jiggle a lot when they run
The scale lies...a lot
You can actually learn to crave health food!
Take pride if the front desk people learn your name out of thousands of members there.

The eccentric movement is just as important as the concentric.
Squat up on the heels, not the toes!
