Rant Another Day [merged threads]

[TBoneTX 46,122]

We are planning our circumferential trip around Iowa for later this summer, whee man.

Furthermore, we just off-polished the remaining crumbs of that bag of Aldi-brand Cheetos, Niki-B. ma'am.

De-dish cat prep zzz man.

Mornin', absent non-English-speakin' Commie-, lecture-prone, and all other babes with closely guarded +1 inventories!

Get better soon Ontarkie!!

 

I enjoy the the fact i pick up heavy things on my own.  And if you dont excercise you soon wont be healthy enough not to.  With the junk food you eat and likely a desk job plus all your commute time, your back issues could probably be fixed with excercise and proper diet.  Supplement that with massage and maybe even accupuncture.  

 

I've been out of the gym over a month largely due to lower back issues (and minorly the toe thing).  I think going to the gym actually caused them in my case - there is this terrible lower back machine I should have never used.  

[SAT 9,609]

I bought that inverse table a couple of years ago, and inside a week, my  10 year old lower back pain was gone!

I avoid machines like the plague for the most part.  Most of my excercises are free weights and compound excercises.  Form is paramount though so you avoid injury.  Thats why i dont like machines... a) they make it easier and b) they often put you into poor form especially if you're shorter.

Elephant on chest can be heart attack, D ma'am.

We're sad when you're sick, si D ma'am.

"Yes, Dear," he replied self-protectingly.

These lectures bring back memories, remember we man.  Were we married to you in the past, Niki-B. ma'am?

And are you offering us a massage now, huh Niki-B. ma'am?

Hey if you dont want to live to see grandchildren, keep downing 2 whoppers at a time.  Your life, your choice!

When I went to the gym, the only machine I used was the flies.

Unfortunately for me, a lot of exercises require the machine because I don't have the knee stability to do standing leg work for example.  Our gym also doesn't have any squat racks or anything of the sort besides hand weights.  It isn't manned and I'm usually the only one there.  I suspect that I have different exercises needs and modifications than most people.  I will be staying the hell away from that back machine in the future.

I've debated it, but I just don't want more stuff around my house.

[SAT 9,609]

I'm thinking of getting rid of my elliptical, and replacing it with a treadmill, in hopes that either me, or Tiff, would actually use it. 

I have a gym-grade Proform elliptical if anyone wants it, like new condition.

Now after seeing pics of that inversion thing, I probably can't use it.  I'll just keep stretching, it seems to be lessening anyway.

[SAT 9,609]

wait, I don't have a proform, I have a Nordictrack.

[SAT 9,609]

It's got the moving arms thingy, and electronic pulse monitor and stuff.  With the SD card programs.

you know, that was what I thought for years. Until I read some of the reviews, and how people used them. And what their conditions were, etc.

You don't have to fully hang upside down you know.

I'm more worried about my knee joint.

You know, I forgot what I bought from amazon, but it was a bigger ticket item, and they were like "Put it on your Amazon store card, 0% interest for 6 months", so I was like- OK....

 

Now I can't find the card, and I don't know the log in to pay for it lol
