We have really heavy sprinkler restrictions? I dunno.
I don't really have much to contribute to this conversation anymore.

colorado sprinklers goes off 3-4 times a day even its raining

[Helsinki Harlot]

o.o Really. Maybe it's not as bad up there with drought issues. We're not allowed to have sprinkles on unless it's dark.

Hel: Half jacks are half a jumping jack where you only bring your arms to where they are parallel to the ground instead of over your head. As for the "rowing style" exercises, my best reccomendation would be to google It. Can't think of any that dont involve a machine off the top of my head, though I know they exist.

I'm not allowed to use my legs is the thing. My Achilles muscle is only half formed in both legs. My muscles also grow attached to my bone instead of on top of it. My leg bones don't sit in the right place on top of my ankles so I walk on the side of my foot to where some days the knob of my ankle touches the ground if I've strained myself too much. I have an orthopedic specialist and special soles I have to wear. My bones are also coming apart in my feet and they're completely flat. So I need cardio that does not use the legs at all.

I'm insanely socially anxious so I have trouble working out in public too. ._. I need something to do at home.

Hmm......give me a while to rack my brain and I'll see what I can come up with. Cardio is one of those workouts where there are a dozen different ways to do it, but only a few where you don't have to use your legs at all or in a strenuous manner.

[Helsinki Harlot]

Haha, yeah. I've spent 22 years trying to figure out something safe for me to do. Last time I said fuck it and just did it like regular people I had to be on pills for half a year to get my leg muscles back to normal from a complete deterioration. :] So I WANT really really really bad to loose weight and work out but cardio is such a huge part of it. I can't figure out a damn thing I could possibly do.

I can't do the treadmill because it's heavy impact, sometimes I can do the bike thing (but I don't have one and I live at home with no gym nearby) and it's heavy impact on my knees (which aren't matched either). Weights and shit are no problem, I've been solid with those. I just can't do the cardio stuff. D:

*saunters in* Anybody order a pizza?

[Echo-chan713]

with extra cheese yes :3

[Fauxreal]

Oh man - I ordered a works. *makes another phone call*

[Alpha]

Hel: From what I've found the general consensus is to to seated cardio (Example:http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/...l.asp?video=38) or swimming. Those two seem to be the best workouts in cases where you don't have access to a gym.

[Helsinki Harlot]

Alpha; Thanks for taking the time to search stuff for me. I guess I could do swimming as long as my parents aren't home. It's about to be fall in Texas tho' so there's that. o.o

I'll give that video a shot tho'. :) Thanks.

PIZZA? CHEEESE!?!? Must you tempt me? D: <333

[Fauxreal]

What is with all the cheese lovers?! We are going to need a bigger pizza...

[Helsinki Harlot]

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese. :D

[Echo-chan713]

get the Sicilian style pizza it's HUGE

[Helsinki Harlot]

You know what pizza I want?

We went to NYC to the Finnish Embassy to get our passports renewed and walked around all touristy and foreign like. Ended up going to this... fancy ass fucking place. Like, suit and tie. But we were ALL red in the face, tired, exhausted. They asked us if we had a reservation, we said no. God my parents looked so humiliated. But I said fuck that. Said no. And asked if there was any place nearby. So they just looked around at each other and decided 'f that' there's a table open right now. You guys have it. The BEST Pizza I have EVER had. It was towards the Broadway area too where all the main buildings are. Oh my god it was heavenly. Just the right amount of sauce, not thick or chunky or heavy. Just sweet light tomato with a delicious soft base, crunchy crust and the best cheese with basil on top of it.

Ooooooh. Or or , my favorite Pizza in the world. The Margherita from Koti Pizza. Mmmmmmm.
