Gee, your not far from gopro.....

So what do you do that sometimes time disallows you to go to the World's gym and workout at home? What type of equipment do you have at home?

I know you already have a cardio mechanism (hubby) so what other pieces do you have.

I couldn't live in your area anymore because I'd shoot over to New Haven, CT for pizza every weekend!

Yeah I like the World Gym too! GoPro and I live about 10 minutes away from each other! I have been to his studio to pick up fat burners and to pay him. His studio is 5 minutes away from me!

I think now it would be only out of laziness that I would have to work out at home, but I have great equipment I have a universal type weight machine, leg press, squat rack, barbells and free weights.

Yeah my hubby is my most fun cardio...

BUT I have a treadmill, lifecycle bike and rowing machine. I really prefer to do stuff outside though. I run in races, mountain and on the road bike, hike, rock climb etc.... I am taking a spinning class tommorow night and I want to start swimming. I think I may try a triathalon next year.
How about you??? What do you do to workout???

Oh and MMMMMM PIZZA!! I won't give that up!!! But only on a cheat weekend day!!

Cool! Hmmnnn.... what type of supplements did he suggest!?! Just curious. VPX??

Wow, very cool! Is it in a basement, seperate room? Climate controlled? I ask this bc/ I can NEVER workout in a cold environment!

Spinning is so awesome! I love our spinning room here in Florida bc/ it's dark with illuminations, disco ball, laser lights etc. Oh and very loud kick ass music! Spinning is a GREAT workout in my opinion!!!! Swimming on occassions is a very excellent workout! I believe it burns more calories than any cadio type exercise! Great for the back!!!!!!

How about you??? What do you do to workout???
[b]I don't workout. I'm a clown... didn't you know that, yet?

I workout at Gold's Gym here in S. Florida! Have you not followed my Victim thread in the online journal? I have a few client's that I weight train. It includes, cardio such as spinning and kickboxing!
So, the sessions can last up to 2 1/2 hours!!!
For pictures of me and my gym... go to this thread and don't be scared, ok? My pics are either on page 2, 3 or 4.

I apologize now for my vulgarities and outspokeness within that thread!!!

Anyhoo, also, check out pictures of the gym itself... www.goldsgymsunrise.com

Have a great night Sapphire and I'm glad I'm getting to know a little more about you!

Stop, I'm not that huge!!! 6'1", 300 lbs now!!! Yikes! I could never snap you in half!... maybe do the Jean Claude Van Damme split with ya?... lol!!! Ha HA .. just kidding

Hmmmnn... add 75 degree's more heat bumping it to 90 degrees, lights out and flashing though, loud music and me! You'd last 15 mins!! No, I think you would do good in my class!!!

Talk tommorow Monster!!!!

Monster......... LOL!

Sapphire · 06-17-2003, 06:01 AM

Holy CRAP!! 6'1 and 300 pds!! Noooo that's not big... that's HUGE!!!!!! I am 5'7 ish and weigh 123!! You could bench press 3 of me at one time!!!

I would love to try out your spinning class! I think I could do it! I have good endurance. The heat is another story! It was warm in the class, but not 90 degrees!!

I have no idea about supplements really!!!! They sounded like steroids to me, but what do I know???

I just follow my instructions from GP......

There were a lot of muscle heads in the weight room last night. I am going to be intimidated working out with my 20 lb dumbells while they are lifting 75 lb ones!!

Talk later MONSTER!!!!!

I don't weight that all the time but during bulk up ... yes! I'll rpobably shed off to 265 and hopefully less!

I would love to try out your spinning class! I think I could do it! I have good endurance. The heat is another story! It was warm in the class, but not 90 degrees!!
Oh, I know you can take the heat!!!! Those in the class seemed to usually do! Sometimes we carry 3 bottles of water. 2 for our 110 min session and 1 to wear when it's really hot and were climbing hills and doing jumps!

There were a lot of muscle heads in the weight room last night. I am going to be intimidated working out with my 20 lb dumbells while they are lifting 75 lb ones!!

Would it shock you to know that when I don't lift heavy and I increase in reps, I'm using 25 lbs DB's?? Don't let them intimidate you!

Talk later MONSTER!!!!!

I'm going to have to come up for a name for you!!!

Sapphire · 06-17-2003, 08:31 AM

265 is still pretty darn big!!! That's great !!

I have a small build and I have a hard time putting on muscle.... But I definitely have gotten more definition and tightened up .... and I have only been working with GP for 4 monthes. So I know I have to be patient...

I needed 2 bottle of water last night for the spinning class and it was only 60 minutes!! Your spinning class sounds like more fun, I love the dark and the disco ball, sounds exciting. We didn't do any jumping!! What's up with that!?

OK I will try to not be intimidated by the big guys like you!! If I feel intimidated I will try to remember what you said about sometimes using lighter weights.... maybe that will help

I will let you know how I do tonight... I want to try to use the cables, but I don't really know how to.... Hopefully there will be a trainer there to help me!!

UPDATE I went to the gym and it was fine!! Everyone was nice, a couple of guys showed me how to use some of the equipment I was having trouble with... Trainers were walking around looking to help if anyone needed it.
OK Monster (and I mean that in the nicest way).... I am waiting to hear MY name......

It's a blast and bc/ it's dark in there! When you need to cheat..... you can!!! No Jumping?? But you did climb simulations, didn't you? Is it a female or male instructor. Women more concentrate on Jumps/climbs.... for the exception of me. I do torture!!!

Damn, I wish I was there because I train enthusiast for free!!!! And you would more than qualifiable to fall into that category!!

Hey Monster!!
I am 5'7 123 pds and yes I took before pictures. I was never fat, just wanted to be more sculpted, tight and muscular. I definitely have lost BF and am tighter.. BUT I WANT MORE!!! It was my diet that needed the most work, GP really overhauled what I eat. He's the best!

Yeah NO JUMPING!!! It was a male instructor, we did alot of simulated climbing.. but your class sounds so much BETTER!

You have no idea how much I wished you lived up here to help me in the gym, if you were with me, Monster, maybe I wouldn't feel so intimidated!! I did legs today, it was fun!! But now I feel all wobbly.... (funny word)

What do you do for a living or are you a full time trainer??

I, for some reason knew you were never fat, also! LMAO! So your looking for the ideal-healthy looking bod, are you? Then, in time, you shall have it and I can't wait for your final results! Stay with it, ok?

Yeah NO JUMPING!!! It was a male instructor, we did alot of simulated climbing.. but your class sounds so much BETTER!
For spinning, I only private teach with my clients.... for their one on one training. But what I'll do is calling clients 3 and 4 in to join in! Smart thinking, huh? I make sure that at least 2 out of the three are just doing cardio that day only and the one who is doing wieghts that same day are NOT doing legs!

You have no idea how much I wished you lived up here to help me in the gym, if you were with me, Monster, maybe I wouldn't feel so intimidated!! I did legs today, it was fun!! But now I feel all wobbly.... (funny word)
Well, maybe I could swing your way this fall but if we make plans, don't you dare blow me off! Don't worry, I'll just go eat a pizza in New Haven if you do! Actually, I'll go visit my actor friend in NY and all of my old buddies in Manhattan. Gee, I hope I can behave better this time around! I would have loved to train you. I wonder if I could kee p a straight face though bc/ somehow I know we can get along too well! I guess that's is a good thing! Wobbly??? Hmmn... exactly what kind of squats were you doing?? Is it combined with cardio??

What do you do for a living or are you a full time trainer??
[b]Would you believe me if I told you I'm not a FT trainer?? I'm a juggler I guess you could say. (and J'bo, if your readintg this... no I'm not a clown either!

) OK, here's the gist. I work at Nextel in the repair center and my job duties mainly are repair ie. solder, build, software programming.
Also, I go to school at New Horizons's www.newhorizons.com for MCSE. Should be done ine a few months!

and yes, I part time train, too! 2 are paid clients and one is my entusiast aka Guinea pig!

[b]

STILL WAITING......

Darn... I guess, Ill need to know you better or maybe someday you'll post a picture of yourself or email if you don't want everyone to see and surely, I will give you a "lovely" nickname.

Are you going to start posting your workouts more?

We are a Novell shop, but I need to be Microsoft certified to get outside jobs!! Stupid Microsoft!! That is SO FUNNY!!!! We have a lot in common! AND I have a Nextel! (ha)
We would definitely get along GREAT!!!! We could study for our tests while you trained with me!

I will have to ask GP if he wants me to post my WOs.... after all I am paying him for them!!! And if I post them, he might lose business... I wouldn't want to do that to my awesome coach!!

If you come to NY, we could definitely meet up for a drink or two....strictly as computer geeks/muscle heads though... Hubby would definitely be jealous of YOU!!!

I don't really want to post pictures of myself on the web, I trust YOU, but there are a lot of wackos out there!! We'll see, maybe I can email you some pics.... no nudies though!!

I think my legs were just wobbly from the weight WO, I didn't do cardio last night. I did a lot of weight for me though!

Talk later Monster/ fellow computer geek!!! That's so cool!! A 6 foot 265 pd computer nerd!!! Don't see too many of them!!
