Wingnut, cardio is okay to do every day, but you shouldn't strength train every day, at least not the same muscle groups. Your body needs time to rebuild and repair the damage you cause from strength training. I don't know how much you know, so sorry if this is old hat. When you lift weights...

I have to workout to maintain my weight. My metabolism is very slow, so exercise keeps it in high gear. I also have to be very religious about what I eat, although I can let it slide a little when I'm working out every day. I do yoga because of my back pain and stress, running is also...

I run 5 days a week, strength train 3 days a week, and right now I ski all day two days a week. Once spring hits, I'll probably be running 6 to 7 days a week. I also take a 40 to 60 minute hike 5 days a week and try to do yoga 5 days a week as well.

absolutely. volunteer service and extra certs are always a plus.

I could show you my resume, but it's not for emergency services.

I would add a line at the bottom: References: Available upon request. and then make sure you have some if they are requested! :)

Welcome welcome! I understand about ruralness. I don't know how many EMS calls we ran, but my fire first due ran 60 calls last year. Hard to keep the skills honed with that few. Glad to have you!

Wow, ladies. My thoughts with both of you. Wingnut - wishing you a speedy recovery and that things get out of where they aren't supposed to be. :) Toledo - bummer about your car and I don't like dentists either! I was supposed to go yesterday, but the dentist got sick. Darn. I have to...
