i just had to share.... i go to the gym tonight, its crowded but nothing unusual for Lifetime in Schaumburg.

The Lifetime in Warrenville was jammed. Damn people need to get over their New Years resolutions already. I couldn't find a parking spot up front today it was so crowded.

 

[divasixstar]

Really? I normally go to that one, but I'm in the process of moving so I have been going to schaumburg, its dirtier than warrenville. And warrenville is usually not so crowded at 10 at night which is when I used to go...

LA fitness was pretty packed today. I somehow managed to get my entire workout done without having to wait for any pieces of equipment though. amazing!

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

glad i workout at home.... although there arent any cable machines.... i can successfully complete all muscle groups with the free weights i have.

Soda vs Energy drinks.

Are energy drinks just as bad?

Ive slowed down on the soda but have been having energy drinks also.

 

[Turk]

Just as bad as far as what?

 

[Eagle]

Yes, as far as what you're trying to accomplish by dropping sodas to drop weight and fell better throughout the day... energy drinks (monster, redbull, full throttle, etc) are just as bad.

WATER! LOTS OF IT!

 

[99PONTIACGP]

Yeah that's what's I'm getting at Eagle. Been drinking lots of water too. Just thought the energy drinks wouldn't be as bad with what's in them and only drinking the sugar free ones also.

 

[99PONTIACGP]

Double post.

 

[Turk]

Some of the energy drinks have very low calories.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

There are plenty out there that are 10 calorie or no calorie. Rockstar makes some good tasting no cal/10 cal ones.

 

[99PONTIACGP]

Yes, the one I drink has 10 calories but diet coke has zero calories but is also bad.

 

[Eagle]

....and if cals were the only thing to consider, you could drink diet coke all day long too. However, that isn't the case. Hence dropping ALL sodas from your diet to drop weight more easily.

A quick read about diet sodas possibly causing weight gain, from late last year:

The study you posted was done on elderly. Are you elderly? Diet pop is just as good as water.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I remember eagle pounding monsters like no other.


I've yet to see any ill effects to drinking a sugar free/cal free energy drink other then it costs more then tap water.

decided to do a little squating today for the first time in over a month..i usually jump on the leg press machine..

did a pyramid..highest i got up to was 365x3..deff need to work on that lol..Gotta get over this hill of hating to do legs.

nice. i can't do leg press machine..i'm probably doing it wrong. it wreaks havoc on my knees. squats/hack squats(cheater squats hah) are fine.
being 5 ft 7 ftw!

same here. then i added up the cost of drinking an energy drink every day at work...2 bucks a day x 5 days x 52 weeks= 520 dollars a year times 3 years i did it 1560 dollars i blew on effin energy drinks.

 

[Turk]

On average people that drink diet pop are in worse shape than those that drink water. Think about the last time you went out to eat with someone that was overweight, "I'll have EVERYTHING ON THE MENU, and a diet coke please"

That shit always crack me up!

 

[99PONTIACGP]

I'm that Guy.

 

[Slolane]

How bout you just stop drinking sodas and energy drinks all together instead of wondering which one is worse than the other... Just a thought.

 

[Mook]

im gonna crack open a monster in a few minutes.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Just cracked open a sugar free Rockstar and gained 10 pounds WTF

 

[Slolane]

Just cracked open a can of Spinach.....SLOLANE SMASSH!!!!!

 

[Turk]

Just beat off. 100 calories burned.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]
