Oh well, I better get my mind right so I can hit the gym tomorrow. Pray for me! I will start with lower body weight training. Sore quads are very motivating to me, and nothing sets off a little black dress quite like em'...

Well I am always happy to help a Soror out!
For me I like having sore lats. In the past I never really worked the muscle to failure, so when it's sore I know I did a good job!
When I work out at the gym (as opposed to home) I also like the lower back machines. When those muscles are a bit sore I feel like I put in a comprehensive workout, lol.
Since I gave you the food advice you can help me out on the exercise tip!
My schedule has changed soooo much since the days when I was ripped (I had a six pack. It was beeeyooootiiiiifuuuul, lol). I am still muscular, but not as lean as I was when I was working out five times a week. I am up at 6 am, and dont get home til 8 pm most nights.
In the past most of my cardio has centered on the elliptical trainer and dance classes. Well dance classes are just out now. No time
. What cardio do you think gets the best bang for your buck? According to the calorie readout on the machine the elliptical trainer is best, but I know that those are not always accurate.
What in your experience has been the most effective cardio exercise? What gets you the most bang for your buck (and won't kill the knees, a la sprints)?
Your advice is muuuuch appreciated!
