stretching experiment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is many important attributes to preparing for a work out; making sure you are hydrated, knowing your work out, and stretching. A week ago I thought stretching was pointless and a waste of time. Working out is something I have to fit into my busy schedule, and at the time I thought stretching was just a waste of my precious time. When I stretch before a work out I take fifteen to ten minutes of stretching. I stretch my legs first because they are the most used, I do the butterfly stretch (where you sit with your feet together and push your knees to the ground) or just leg stretches by spreading out my legs and reaching as far as you can. I then move to my arms doing an over head stretch and pretty much what ever part of my body I feel I will work out that day. After my work out is done and over I feel fine no major sore muscles or bad pain. However, a week ago I didn’t feel like stretching and I wanted to see if I noticed a difference in stretching or not. I worked out with my work out buddy Crystal for four hours. We did buns of steel, total body sculpt with Glaud, and several other workouts that focused on thighs. We didn’t bother to stretch and we didn’t think it would affect us later. The next morning it felt like a little troll named bill was holding on to my legs punching them with all his might. This unbearable pain is still with me today (a week later). I have used icy hot and pretty much everything I can think of and it won’t go away. I haven’t lost all hope because I am confident it will fade away with time. I do plan to stretch every time I work out! It doesn’t matter how little time you have a good stretch before a work out is imperative to forming your body’s muscles! The pain is totally not worth it. Due to my little experiment, I now have to waddle to school with a look of agony across my face.

INTRO/ eating disorders!

A new semester is here! So for new readers I want you to know what I am writing about. I am a big work out/ exercise buff. I watch fit TV constantly and work out in all my spacer time. I have been doing this scene October of 07 and have lost 20 pounds the right way. I like to talk about exercise videos and good workouts that I feel really work; furthermore, I enjoy looking into “the wrong” way of working out like fast diets, eating disorders, and diet pills. I think that writing about working out and what not to do can help people who read my blog to get fit and stay in shape the healthy way!!!
So for this entry I want to talk about eating disorders. I personally had a sister who was bulimic for fifteen years. It was really hard on out family to see her loose so much weight hair and teeth. She ended up having to be in therapy for two years, now she does speeches at meetings for people with anorexia and bulimia. I recently went to one and it was really emotional, half of the room was crying when my sister told her story. It really isn’t worth it. For anyone who feels like it is a quick way to lose weight just DON’T even try it! It is addicting If you really want results that fast get lipo suction or something! It really dose hurt yourself and your body my sister has three fake teeth thanks to her stomach acids. The way I see it people get these disorders to make themselves look better but in the end you will just make yourself ugly because you will have less hair and teeth….
I think that that should motivate anyone to not get an eating disorder!
