yeah, that's the way I used to do. Now that I do them at home I do it the way I previously mentioned...

As long as you rest the muscles one day you can do them in any order you want to. I usually do everything one day, take the next off, then do them again. But I don't do any leg work besides all of my cardio which seems to be shaping them up quite nicely anyway. Lately I do biceps, shoulders then repeat that. Then I do triceps, then chest and back, then another shoulder exercise, then flies and lower-back, and last abs. But sometimes if I feel bored I mix it all up. For arms and shoulders I use dumbells and for chest and back I use machines. I went up again on my weights last time and still did not feel sore but it did feel like a good effort so I'm going to stay there for a bit.

This thread really does help me to keep motivated.

Doesn't anyone do calves? Shapely calves are very important....

You don't want them to be lopsidedly small with your thighs, do you?

I love what jumping rope does to mine. I think my bike seat is too low, I just got it, my boss gave it too me. Anyway, all the burn is in my thighs.

My ass has been sore for the last three days - but I LOVE that soreness because I feel like my ass is finally on its way to greatness

Tomorrow I'm doing another leg day...woo fun!

My calves are not an issue, they are toned from all the walking and the elliptical machine.

That's weird, walking and elliptical don't get my calves nearly as pointy and bulgy as I want them....

Um, you have a fixation. Nobody wants to build up calf muscles!

I don't know, mine look good to me. I think I'd rather shrink my thighs down then build up my calves.

Yeah, they do. Otherwise people wouldn't run. Runners calves look great! Sure, it's best to shrink your thighs down. But it's the very best to have nice calves and slim thighs!!! I'm sure your calves are fine, Suze.

Cluster headaches may be hereditary. Anyone in your family get them?

Or they could be a sign of stress. Doctors always tell you, "Get rid of the stress in your life & you'll be healthier." But how the hell does one get rid of the stress? Move to Antarctica & live off the fat of the land?
