Recovery time is usually the same as the amount of time just sprinted (i.e. 30 second sprint, 30 second recovery). ALSO, one thing I forgot to mention...you may all be wondering "how does this work in a treadmill class? Do people just make up their own workouts?"  WELL...we each person has a FM...

So far... Friday - Tread and Shread at Equinox (5x Two minute intervals at 1.0% incline with a one minute jog in between).  My intervals went like this: (speed = the number on the treadmill, equates to MPH). 1 minute - 6.0 speed 2 minute - 9.0 speed 1 minute - 6.0 speed 2 minute - 9.1 speed 1...

LOL, hold up...hold up.  I was only referring to the term "greasing the palm."  It literally sounds weird...that's all. I see no problem with working the system to your benefit.

I'm going here for dinner tonight...I will post my observations... Note: Going with my wife (white) and another couple (white + korean).  I'll get their observations...

I love the one in RSM...especially on warm days when you can sit on the barstools and enjoy the outdoor weather.

Somehow, greasing his palm sounds: 1. Inappropriate 2. Dirty 3. Unsanitary

My wife and I are both engineers.  The sheer sight of people at work is MORE THAN ENOUGH motivation to stay in shape. I gotta tell this funny story.  We have a regular Roach Coach (food wagon for those who don't get the term) come to our campus every day.  This really overweight dude walks out...

10-12%??? Jeez, that's low. Most men have a hard time getting below that.

I obviously try to stay within the necessary caloric intake for the day that MFP spits out.  For me, it's about 1980 calories a day to maintain my body weight.  My daily breakdown of carbs/protein/fat is typically 40-50%/30-40%/10-30%.  Any carbs I eat, I try to make sure they are worth it like...

Let's not forget Mello Roos.

Cool!  I've also taken to making my own pizzas at home with whole wheat thin muffins or using dough, pepperonis, cheese and pizza sauce.  It's a lot healthier, plus tastes really good when it comes out correctly. But...man...do I miss those Costco-brand pizzas.  I particularly miss them when...

OK, joined the Talk Irvine group on MFP. I also can't give up cream/sugar in the coffee.  I usually only use a very small amount of creamer coupled with a mix of sweetener and sugar.  Another one of my pitfalls is definitely pizza. One thing that I've been working on this year is portion...

Yes, I (he) am in. I appreciate you guys being open about your fitness progress and shortcomings.  It's definitely difficult to keep the "fit" lifestyle with all the time constraints that we have.  My wife and I are part of Equinox (yes, super expensive).  The classes and instructors there are...

I'm in.  I use MyFitnessPal.  Sounds like fun.

Then I suppose it's up the the builder, right?  Maybe they factor in the second HOA to the purchase price?

It all depends on how the homes were zoned.  SFRs like Maricopa in Stonegate, Las Ventanas in Portola Springs have a single HOA.  Detached condos have a dual HOA.

Construction is definitely ramping up on Irvine Blvd in anticipation of the first Great Park homes.  Hopefully that toll road will still be a viable option.

@dealcatcher Do you mind explaining what happened?

Based on that second image...I can just imagine what a pain it will be if you try and pull out of your garage and your neighbor just happened to park their Mercedes/BMW/Lexus/Range Rover width-wise across their garage.  And you can't say it doesn't happen because I know a lot of people who park...

Full length/premium driveway, 1 foot setback all the way around the house, sun room in the garage, second story that almost overhangs into your neighbors yard, etc...
