Cathe, I have 2 different questions - one cardio - one weights
First - when I do alot of upper body weight training exercises my elbow will really start to hurt. For example today I was doing chest press and my elbows hurt so bad I had to stop early. It happens with a variety of exercises - not just chest press. Is there something with my form that could be causing this? My elbows don't hurt at any other time during the day.
Second - I am trying to get in all around better shape, I need to be much stronger than I am and trim down my middle. I am doing both cardio and weight training. When I do weights I try to lift as heavy as I can using the best form I can. I'm not so good with the cardio though. I can see slow improvements but can't finish all of a tape at top level. I either stop before the tape is over or I do very low impact for the rest. And that is my question. Is it better to do as much of the tape as I can at as high intensity as I can and just try to do a little more each time or should I do all of a tape at just not high intensity. The way I see it is one way is getting my heart beating hard and probably building strength and the other way is getting me to be able to move for a longer amount of time. I'm just not sure which way would give me the best results.
Thanks
Michele
