If it's making you too sore to do your swim, bike, run workouts, then that's kind of defeating the purpose. I would definitely suggest doing some sort of strength training at least 2 times a week. That way, your body will get used to the workouts and you'll be less likely to get really sore.Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553067128072502179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669974742453538516.post-48361451632944845472011-01-26T10:59:32.539-08:002011-01-26T10:59:32.539-08:00Also a HIM in June.

My trainer last year said that I really need 2x a week, even 30 minutes a peice. Might be more advantageous to pay a trainer just once to help you develop a quick circuit routine that can be done around the gym (and feel free to post that for those of us that need the same thing :-) )J.

You need the strength, but shouldn't be cutting workouts because it's making you too sore. If anything, get in the pool and swim easy to loosen up. Glad to have found your blog! :)My Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05773926028026104968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669974742453538516.post-24828225555170350732011-01-26T06:34:53.841-08:002011-01-26T06:34:53.841-08:00Try doing the class with embarrassingly light weig...Try doing the class with embarrassingly light weights to see if you can do it without getting sore. I lift higher reps and light weights so I'm not too sore to do anothe workout. Also - lifting more than once a week will probably get you to the point where you are not so sore after. I try to get 2x per week in but I admit if I blow off something it's usually teh lift.Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06081641803045845315noreply@blogger.com
