Guest guest Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Yuna Your workouts are awesome!! I think you may be working your body really hard and it needs a bit more time to recover. Maybe on the days you're feeling like your legs are 'heavy' you could just walk on a 2 incline? Or walk outside ? Maybe with a friend?

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Thanks, ! They actually don't feel " awesome " to me, but rather routine, so it's always nice to have an outside perspective! Walking on a 5% incline actually feels easy to me. Unless my legs are really pooched (like this morning), I never have trouble getting in a walk. But walking outside is much more pleasant. Once the weather warms up and it stops RAINING, I'd love to walk outside. But, I also have to be careful about what type of exercise I do during the day. I actually developed a condition called " Food-Dependent Exercise-Induced Anaphalaxis. " That's a mouthful. Basically, if I exercise with food in my body, I'll go into anaphalactic shock. It's wasn't a huge adjustment because my routine was always to exercise in the morning on an empty stomach, but it does mean that I can't do a second workout later in the day, and I have to be careful about how vigorous an activity I do. Even fast walking that gets my heart rate up could trigger a reaction. > > > Hi Everyone, > > > > Today I did a jump rope / strength training workout.
