Weight Loss/ Exercise/ fitness Email group - anyone interested? So I answered an alternate question involving the fact that exercise is the enemy and how I'd love to be one of those people who actually enjoy working out... but I'm not... but what I was wondering was if any of my contacts or anyone else, would be interested in joining up and becoming email penpals about working out and keeping each other motivated...? Would that be beneficial to anyone or am I kidding myself? I find it amusing that I received answers saying "Count me in" but (a) didn't contact me directly and (b) don't allow email or other type of contact outside of Y!A... If you are really all that interested in more than the 2 points, I'm going to re-dedicate my 360 page to weight loss and fitness. Contact me if interested in forming an email group.

Is it good or bad to burn out a muscle group at the end of a workout? For example instead of just finishing biceps with a set of 8 reps with your normal weight, is it more beneficial to curl that weight until muscle failure,drop 5 pounds and immediately curl until muscle failure again, and continue dropping weight until its at 0 and your arms are ready to fall off? Ive heard its a great way to get the most from that muscle group, but ive also heard that its overworking the muscles. Any fitness guru's got some advice on this?

How soon would a fitness instructor look pregnant? Hi, I'm a group fitness instructor and I'm about 3 months pregnant with my first baby. I'd say that during my career and pasttime of exercising, I've worked up some abdominals. Will this have any effect on how soon I start to show? Right now, it looks like maybe I've just put ona little bit in the belly area. it's not noticeable at all when I wear a slightly baggy shirt, and when I wear a tighter shirt you'd have to look really closely to tell. So basically none of my students suspect a thing. Any ideas?
What do you think of 24 hr fitness? Ok, so I am thinking of joining the 24 hr fitness here because it is open all the time and has a basketball court. My school gym seems like it is closed half the time, and is shut down by 9 pm, and I usually work till 11 pm. Anyway, the one here is a 24 hr sport and has Basketball Court , Coin Collect Lockers , Group Cycling , Group X , Kids' Club , Pool , Pro Shop , Sauna , Se habla espanol , Solutions , Steam Room , Volleyball , Whirlpool. Most of that I wont even use, just want the basketball court and the weights. So, I was wondering if 24 hr fitness is a good gym and if it would be worth the $40 a month and the $100 start up fee.
