PrincessPratt Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I've never tried Alexanders class. I should!My hubby is the marathon (well, at least half) runner. You know him! So, maybe you two could chat. I am not much of a runner honestly. 4 miles is about it thus far. LOL! I rolled my right ankle numerous times before so I have to be a bit careful or it starts giving me heck. I've never been thin and doubt I'll ever be a size 2 but I never want to go back to where I was back in 2002. Both my hubby and I weighed at least 260lbs EACH..yeah..EACH!Imagine that on someone who is only 5' 1".Wow...well running never drops the weight for me. I just eat more when I'm running 25 miles a week. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creatine increases protein sysnthis (sp?) in mucsle cells2) check out Kreatin(i think that's it, or just research Creatine alternatives) they don't have the side effects as creatine, such as water retention and cramping. Maybe I'm wrong, have never taken it personally, but I thought creatin was a pre workout supp designed to aid in the water/blood delivery to muscles.6) For casein I would personally recommend BSN Syntha 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO if you havent taken it you shouldnt be advising people on it.the creatine i take is cell tech. its good that it have a lot of simple carbs (sugar) the sugar will help the protein you take after the work out get to the muscles. (increase insulin-glycogen loading/protein synthis)synta 6 is decent Edited June 26, 2009 by rawlins87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fireman_343 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 If you want a quick cheap 10 grams of protein, drink a glass of Chocolate milk! The sugar in the chocolate will help deliver the protein better... like said before! Plus it tastes great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(increase insulin-glycogen loading/protein synthis)synta 6 is decentsteroids don't affect everyone negatively either. What works for you wont work for everyone in the same manner. The only thing I remember advising someone on is researching a supplement. In a quick research I found that creatine is bonded to phosphorous in your muscles and forms Creatine Phosphate. Creatines primary function is to support the body's ability to produce adenosin triphospate which is the fuel your body uses to do reps. As the adenosine triphosphate is burned a by- product of adenosine diphosphate is created, which is then transformed back into adenosin triphosphate by using the phosphorous in your body. Unless someone is lying or my logic is wrong, if ATP is the fuel your body uses for everything you do from working out to folding your tightie whities, and creatine assist in the formation of ATP it would make more sense to take creatine pre workout not post. Creatine to give the muscles the energy needed to continue going strong thru a session and protein after to help muscle recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollFace Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 So, I started working out again. Yay me! I do the eliptical. I have a moderate-high resistance (like 8 to 10). I use only my legs for 2 mins, then sprint for 30 seconds, then use my arms only for 2 minutes. I do that for 30 minutes and it is a great toning and cardio workout. I am dropping inches all around!
