Hi There, Cross Training to me is using any other form of exercise you want to do. I posted below some links that you can look at that will help you choose. http://www.runnersworld.com/tag/cross-training http://www.runnersworld.com/photos/16-cross-training-activities-to-try I run 3-4 days a week with the app. Other days I will use my Recumbent Bike, lift weights, hike, Lifting weights to gain strength is my favorite and it burns amazing calories. I am so sore today after getting back to my workouts on monday. Hope this helps. Keep me posted. Hugs

Thanks Shannon, you are awesome yourself. Love taking a journey with everyone too. HUGS!

Love all of the Encouragement here. Awesome!

Hi There Crash and Momo, Welcome to the Forums.. Best place to be. We started an Accountability Board too so you can start a Journal there. Love it.. Momo, If your calves are sore, do some stretching after you warm up. Mine are on fire today, so I am stretching every chance I get. Ouch! Do some speed interval training on the other days and lift weights, that will help. Good Luck!

Thanks Azatol, I will be keeping an eye out. I thought that price was high. I have 2 Gear Live Watches and I will keep mine for now, and sell hubbies.

Hi There HukMup, Welcome here. Way to go. Brrr, that is cold, happy you found other runners out there. Keep it up!

Love it Azatol. I am with you, Bourbon too, lol

WAY TO GO TEE!! You can do it. Like Timb says, it coaches you in the app... like a lil buddy in your phone! HUGS ! and keep us posted!

Good Luck Kells, YOU CAN DO IT!

Hi Dare & Amy, Welcome on here and way to go for starting. You go this! You can do it. Feels great huh??? At the end of the run in your app, did it put a checkmark on that day? I think it asks you if you want to post on social media and then it saves. But, you can also hold down on that day and it will put a checkmark there for you. Hope this helps you. Keep running you two. We started an Accountabilty 2015 Board, post there! HUGS!

Awesome runs you all. Way to go. I am with on the cold runs Casa, 40 and it is a heatwave in Nevada where I live.. lol

January 5th, - T25 Cardio and Weight Training January 6th - Week 6 Day 1 of 10k app. Ok, I am going to start my journal on here too, I need it myself. Ok, A little bit about your Moderator, One, I love being a Moderator on here. When ZenLabs asked me to be one I Jumped for Joy! It is my dream helping people and watching the Forums. I love all of you! I started in the fitness field in my early 30's after my youngest was born in Louisiana. I started walking with him as he cried a lot and walking would keep him quiet, Go Me! LOL. My Husband was in the Air Force there. When he retired Air Force we moved to Colorado where he found a computer job. That job took us overseas to Amsterdam Holland for the next almost 5 years. Oh my gosh, did we love it there and we so embraced the culture as did our boys who were 5 and 1 back then. Looking around I was the 'fat' American lady, haha. Ok a size 10, but on me that is fat as I am only 5'2" and every pound shows on me.. So I met this English Lady who asked me to to the Gym with her, ok, I was bored so I went. WOW OH WOW, what a journey that was. I got in the best shape of my life, ever. But I was way too skinny, but Europeans loved that, seriously, hardly see a chubby Dutch person. We rode our bikes everywhere and walked. At the time I did not have a car. I ended up running every weekend in 5k's, 10k's, half marathons. It was a blast. I could drink a bottle of wine a day and not gain at all. I got into teaching and went to the States to get certified. I am AFAA, ISSA, NESTA, NAFC Certified in Fitness, Nutrition and Coaching. I worked out so hard. I loved teaching in Europe about 10x a week. Man, I had energy. HENCE, the name above, EnergyXtra. When I got a car in Holland, i had no idea at the time,but a guy from class noticed it, my license plate said nrgxtr, He is like, hey Kelly, that is so you, Energy Extra. SO it stuck. I have a personal FB page that I help my friends achieve their goals by that name too. Thats me, too much energy, I am pretty active. I run circles around some 20 year olds, lol.. I was a size 12 little girl, sheesh, which nowadays is that a size 0000??? Only problem with that was I still myself to that standard and I am back at a size 10 now. Is that because this is where my body wants me to be? I wish I never was that skinny, but I am looking ahead. Ok, flash forward to now. We lived in Utah, which I hated with my life, so I went to Beauty School. Exercising in Europe is a huge social scene, in Utah, women had so many kids that they left as soon as class was over so I got lonely and went to school instead. I loved Beauty School. Then we moved to Nevada, where we live now and hubby worked in California. my boys loved our country life. Small town, 200 kids in the whole school, raised farm animals. I did teach a class at the school for a few years and I now go to a class and I do not teach anymore, only sub. SO of course, after all those years of teaching, i just quit. I still walked, but now I am, JUST LIKE YOU, I am human. I am as determined as you all are to lose those 20lbs., i really need to lose........so when they asked me to Moderate, I was like, heck yeah, that will help me too.... My husband of 30 years and I eat really healthy, we just love our cocktails on the weekend way tooo much.. So we are now stopping that and eating way way better. I am already down a few pounds and I am sooooo excited for the New Year. Lets Do this everyone, I am as real of a person as you are, and I love that everyone helps each other on here too.. Cheering each other on. As I get older, I now want to be in the best shape I can be in and feel great... Now you know who I am .......

Week 6 Day 1 of 10k app. I did it! yay!

Great Job Crash, Welcome here and keep it up, you got this! I love the journal idea too.

Way to go , Keep it up. Super Proud of you!

Ewe on the picture Azatol, lol. I get that daily in my country drive to town, lol..... I love what you said, sometimes you feel like a bug on the windshield, I feel like a Sloth somedays and not a bug. Hope you push through and keep on it.! Good luck and hugs!

Hey There Shannon, I sure do love the way you write, like a Writer. Wish I had that talent. You are doing great, feels good huh? Love it... I am back on track yesterday. Feels good... Keep it up!

Hi There Whittlet, Welcome on here. Kids sure do keep you busy. But I sure do miss those days... Good Luck tonight and post when after your run. We are all here for you will be cheering you on! Hugs!

Hey Azatol, I just looked it up on Amazon, $640 bucks??? Ouch!!!

Hey Azatol, keep me posted on that Surge. I have tried so many. Fitbit on the hip. I lost two of them. Fitibit on the wrist?, not accurate for me. I now have a Gear Live 2 for my Android. Most accurate I have had so far, my Galaxy S5 tracks too but I dont usually walk through the house with it. I am thinking of selling my Gear Live as I might go back to the Iphone. Let me know how accurate the Surge is ok?? I am tired of spending $$ and bouncing around. Thanks !!!!

Yippee Shaa! Feels great that you finished Day1 Huh?? It s all in the Mind... Proud of you!
