Flying to Chicago tomorrow. Seems odd as that is a drive. Damn hotels want $80 a night to park my car though and my flight was $90.

Friday I couldn't read a computer screen

I got a migraine on Friday that has gotten smaller but never left.

When did the weather change hit you?

That and without a timer, no way, no how can I figure out 60 seconds.

I just did the stretches once today and perhaps the sugar pill worked but I feel better. Will do them again before bed. Can't say I made a full 60 seconds on some of them, but mostly because I am too tight to even get into the position and I figure 30-40 seconds in the position is better than 60 not. Brought the pain.

Can't help with crossover points without knowing the drivers. That being said, rear fill is 1000% a waste of time and money. Add to that the PRV mids sound like serious ass in any 2 way. So we need to start with getting some actual logical choices then we can dial things in.

Awesome. thank you

Bike ride, run, weights, whatever. Just figure I need to stretch my legs and back more than anything and that does that. Thought if there were more to do I should contemplate it.

Ha, that I am GOOD at.

Stretches alone have me dripping in sweat. Would you add any other stretch post bike ride? I feel like those stretches are probably the cure for my back pain. Some I couldn't do for the full 60 seconds due to the complete lack of flexibility I have, but that will get better and where they put pressure/almost pain is exactly where I am too short that is pulling on my back. I feel WAY looser and better afterwards!

I don't really care about the cardio, but only because that is only a matter of motivation for me. The rest I am clueless on. Starting the stretches in 10...

I like the cirque stuff. I figured for my needs my own body was enough resistance...but have no idea. Need to start somewhere as my nearly 45 year old body is no longer 16.

I have a Hoist V6 and an Octane 47e Open to whatever. I need something that changes quickly so I don't get bored. Functionally rotating quickly through things to try to do 40min worth in 20min is better for me. Probably not the greatest for getting to my end goal but I need to stay focused somehow.

I have a big ball I can do them on. On the floor they would hurt. My back does not hurt anymore. It is VERY easy to make it tired though and feel like it is on the edge. My vertabrae are also wound tight and need the reinforcement you describe. I've never been able to even come close to a handstand. More of a balance problem than strength but I think you were inferring that anyways.

Ha, that is how I do everything. Balls out until I can't then rest at a slower pace and repeat. I interval everything in my life...only reason I am in any shape at all. Every 5 minutes I can easily do 30 seconds of balls out. My only reason for bringing in heart rate is that it is always my limit. I suppose I could downshift and mash and make it my legs but that I think still would have my heart be the limiting factor.

Lets, core, lungs, leisure - these are all foreign concepts to me. I know as much about lifting with my legs as Ryan knows about making a Mornay sauce from scratch.

Ok, start with intervals. I don't quite follow the 3x30. I can tell you that when my heart hits 180 and I am on a bike that I start to lose vision. I can however hold 170 for 5mi +. Are you saying as close to the 180 without falling for only 30 seconds? How much cool down then before the next. As for strength building I figured situps, push ups and pull ups ought to do it....but I know jack. And yes I have a cable machine and an elliptical and a running path right next to the house. I am actually more worried about the strength than the cardio. I am not fit by any means but I am capable of sustaining beyond most of my friends including some that work out. I do that through dexterity, not fitness. As for the strength I am a balls to the walls sort of guy so the first day I water skied this year I took 3 runs and then couldn't bend my arms for 4 days after. I need to avoid that...

Ok, no.

That is the only thing I do.

Need gains in 30 days

I've never done anything in my life so ...

Core, legs, lungs.

I need to get in shape for a snowboard/ski/snowmobile trip in the mountains. What should I do?

You've got a mustache?
