      wondering if I should go to the gym tonight. I know I should, but I have Zero motivation.

      I've been doing early morning workouts, mostly weight training. I'm way too out of shape but even I feel a bit more energetic during the day.

      Try like just 5 minutes of a jog on the elliptical trainer or treadmill, after your workout. Then over the weeks/months, slowly increase it by a minute at a time, but no more than 15 minutes.

      I can barely do 5 mins on elliptical non stop. so I don't see myself going past 15 mins. Cardio goes after work out?
      I was under the impression It was first.

      You can do cardio before, after or before and after. Whatever you are comfortable with.

      OH ok. I thought there were "rules". I think that's why I'm scared of gyms. Because I'm scared to make a fool out of myself.

        It really depends on the type of workouts you doing and how many times you are working out each week.

            Since I love playing basketball, my workouts is more geared to it. Pilates is another exercise I want add to my workouts too.

              One day I went into a Pilates class thinking it was easy stretching. That class wrecked me, it was hard.

                If you weight train, you want to do cardio after. It's dangerous to wear yourself out before lifting weights.

                Also, technically speaking, lifting weights is better than cardio, so long as you do it right (like keep heartrate up, etc).

                Cardio after a workout also helps to "clean out the burn" from working out. Without getting into any real detail... When you lift, your muscles work and release certain chemicals. Keeping your heartrate up (like cardio) after your weight lifting workout is beneficial.

                  I still struggle with most the simple plank form, especially after doing other workouts.

                    Also, if you lift weights first, you can lift more weight, more reps, a better weight lifting workout overall... cardio, that'll be pretty much the same anyways.

                          do I do like a quick run or just stretching first to warm up the muscles? Or is that the same.

                            wondering if I should go to the gym tonight. I know I should, but I have Zero motivation.

                            I've been doing early morning workouts, mostly weight training. I'm way too out of shape but even I feel a bit more energetic during the day.

                            Try like just 5 minutes of a jog on the elliptical trainer or treadmill, after your workout. Then over the weeks/months, slowly increase it by a minute at a time, but no more than 15 minutes.

                            I can barely do 5 mins on elliptical non stop. so I don't see myself going past 15 mins. Cardio goes after work out?
                            I was under the impression It was first.

                            Also, if you lift weights first, you can lift more weight, more reps, a better weight lifting workout overall... cardio, that'll be pretty much the same anyways.

                            do I do like a quick run or just stretching first to warm up the muscles? Or is that the same.

                            A stretching fest before weight lifting is also dangerous. You really don't need to. There's no benefit to it.

                            On an off day, i'll go to the gym JUST to stretch and do a little cardio.

                            But you don't want to do it before lifting weights.... however, you may want to do a little (2 minutes) leg stretching before cardio.

                                There's real research to back this stuff up, so don't take it as i'm just blowing smoke. I just don't have the time to find it again and link it.

                                Over hte last 10 years, I've put a ton of work and research into this stuff.

                                  I think that this is worth a read. If I was the CEO and say this thread, I'd be pretty unhappy and definitely not give this guy access.

                                    This guy feels like he is totally focused on "owning the network" and "doing things his way" to the point that he's complaining about his CEO wanting to be in control publicly! He says that everything that is "normal" in an SMB is wrong, but gives zero reason for his beliefs. Basically, he sounds like a control freak that doesn't understand IT and just wants power and money.

                                      I'm surprised that every single person jumped on and was like "oh yeah, this is bad" even though he didn't come up with a single problem on the network. Just stated standard, sensible things, or said things that made no sense like claiming that there was no firewall (um, bullshit, of course there is) or that he's a system admin (um, no, he's not.) Yet everyone is like "oh yeah, you are getting screwed, get out of there." Heck, I want that client. Let me know who they are. Sounds like someone that actually has a head on their shoulders.

                                        Yeah I don't really see much wrong with their current setup. Only change I see that could be beneficial is a better equipment naming scheme (maybe, maybe not... i don't know what it is like currently) and clean up the racks a little bit.

                                        No network access required to do that stuff.

                                          Yeah, is there like two pieces of equipment? Who cares. I mean sure, take a few seconds and name it, but WTF, who cares. This place wasn't big enough for a single IT guy yesterday, how much can they need today?
