This was a great show Brian, thanks. I really needed the information about muscle cramps, I knew some of it but you gave me more to work with to avoid them. I had some quadriceps cramps that were killers. Couldn’t move to stretch them because when I tried to move, they’d cramp more. Talk about agony! Also the shoulder exercises to strengthen the muscles that support the joints – they were just what I’ve been needing. And the get thin or get eaten exercises a the end of the program showed me that I can do them. I had fallen off from trying because of other work I do but it’s uplifting to find that I could keep up on some of them. I guess I could have saved you a lot of reading if I had just said, “Thanks, it was perfect!” 🙂
Yes, me too Brian, thank you so much for the stuff on cramps. I too learnt a lot I didn’t know about the magnesium. I just had a hand-full of pumpkin seeds before coming on the Hangout so should be fine tonight! 🙂 I take Calcium and magnesium supplements and thought it was the calcium that was helping but now I think it must be the magnesium–they are much worse when I don’t take them. So Brian, what are your thoughts on magnesium supplements?
Bette, I get the agonizing quadriceps ones too, they bring me to tears and come in waves for minutes at a time, and sometimes even go up into my hips. Sometimes I get them in the hamstrings too, especially when I try to do my stretches too early in the morning.
I really got a sweat up with the GTGE sequence tonight, and really felt the burn with the weights even though I was only using 2lb [ONE kg!!] weights. I’ll try with heavier ones tomorrow.
Thanks for getting me back on track after a week away from home and not doing them all that time–will get back to it tomorrow. Love your work-in Hang-Out Brian, thanks again~~Esmé
Thanks so much Bette for taking the time to connect with me. It is a strange experience my end wondering if anybody is actually training with me, but now I know you were. Awesome!
Please let me know if there’s ANY topic you want me to cover on my Ask Brian and I’ll be sure to cover it.
Thanks again Bette
Question from Dianna,
How many times per week should we be doing the high intensity – 3 times?
Hi Dianna,
love your name 🙂 We have 3 kids, 2 boys and a girl. She’s named Ella but Dianna was going to be our next. He was a boy so Harry seemed a better fit!
Anyway I would love you to do them 3 x per week please.
If you want to do more, and feel good for doing them, by all means but 3 x per week would be great.
Thanks for joining me today, really appreciate your connection.
Brian
Regarding cramps Brian, whant are some good things you can do when in the grip of them toi try and make them end faster please?
Hi Esme,
Great question – Brian’s suggestion during the show was to massage the sore point to help alleviate some of the tightness.
Hope this helps.
Den
Yes,thanks for the précis, Den, will massage deeply and send active relaxation to it. Like Bette, I just can’t stretch it or it seems to come back in waves.
I’m going to see if I can find some magnesium topical spray you mentioned. Perhaps a bedtime bath in Epsom Salts [magnesium sulphate!] might help too–I have a huge jar of it from the vet 🙂
