The upper torsos of long-distance runners are usually not that great, even though their legs are well developed. If your body is symmetrical, and well-balanced, there are many benefits to maintaining this type of symmetry. Carrying stuff during a run is something that runners will try to avoid. Making this decision is a personal preference issue. Since your upper body is in shape (despite the extra weight) you can avoid overuse injuries very easily. If you don't want to build up, we want to tone your body, body weight exercises are perfect. Adding variety to your weekly training is something you can do by doing these exercises.

My daughter is 10mths old and we are just about to put her into her own room. She hardly sleeps during the day and does not got to sleep much before 10pm, if she does shes awake within an hour. She will wake several times in the night and cannot seem to settle herself again unless i feed her or cuddle her. I am soooooooooo tired and not sure what to do next, have tried controlled crying and not working! To all the mums that think they are the only ones, they are not. Lots of mums are in the same position.

Please read or buy "The No-Cry Sleep Solution" by Elizabeth Pantley...she has a great website too....she offers great advice for sleep & nap problems...my baby suffered from GERD plus I also breastfed her to sleep for naps & before bed. I also let her keep nursing after she fell asleep...this created a huge problem with her not sleeping longer than 2 to 3 hours at a time & only 45 minute naps! Elizabeth's book helped solve my baby's sleep problems.....if you think your baby has GERD (reflux) have a doctor check them out. You can also raise the head of the crib slightly....don't put them down to sleep for 30 minutes after they eat/nurse...sedatives are not the answer...leaving your baby to cry for long periods of time can be harmful to their health!!...Dr. Sears also has a great website for helping with babies issues.... My baby is now 9 months old....has only 2 naps per day...at 10 in the morning & at 2 in the afternoon....she goes to bed at 7 at night & usually wakes around 6:30 to 7 in the morning....she still breastfeeds...she eats cereal at 8, lunch at 1130, snack of fruit at 3, dinner at 4 to 430 & cereal at 6. She is definitely not overweight....she's very slim & very active. Remember...if your baby sleeps through the night for one night...they may not do it every night.....better naps lead to better night sleep & vice versa....

To Zahra - please don't give your baby sedatives!!!! This is extremely dangerous. Trust me you would rather have your baby waking up at night than not there at all. I see a lot of comments on this page asking for advice and not a lot of advice coming back, so as a mother of a 26 month old I will offer what I have experienced. Please buy and read "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child" by Marc Weissbluth. My friend recommended this book when I had my son and it's absolutely invaluable. Contrary to popular belief it does not subscribe soley to the cry it out method. It walks you through every stage of sleep from birth to preschool and explains what is going on with your child and how to get them sleeping through the night and for naps. My son was sleeping through the night at 3 months then started waking at 4 - 6 months. We did the controlled crying at 7 months and he's slept throught the night since. It was the hardest thing I've had to do but it's so worth it and he's as happy and well rested as ever. I hope this helps you all in some way. Happy parenting!

My daughter is 9 months old and still wakes up at night and it is a problem for her to fall asleep. I breastfeed her and we carry her around, then put her back into her bed, let her cry a bit, max. 5 minutes, then take her again and try to calm her. When she wakes up at night, I take her in our bed, because it is a bit easier. However I am sooo tired and do not have a good solution either. During the day, we stick to the same times to put her to bed. In the morning it mostly works without much crying, at lunch time it is a bit more difficult, the worst is in the evening.

Am a mother of a 3 Week old daughter. She sleeps througout the day.. Only wakes up for feed every 4-5 hours.. But, in the night, she doesn't sleep at all and cries to be fed, every half an hour. I am tired of feeding her throughout the night. Feel like i would run out of milk. As soon as clock strikes 6 in the morning, she just dozes off, for that's her sleep time ! Should I forcibly wake her up in the morning, or, should I give some time, and wait for her to start sleeping in the night, on her own ?

I have a 6 month old who wakes up at least every 3 hours every night. If I am very lucky he will sleep for 4-5 hours at first then wake up every 3 hours. This is definetly better than every hour for the first 2 months. He is mostly breast fed with ceral for dinner and baby food for lunch. I just don't know if there is more that I could do to encourage sleep. His naps are almost nonexsistant during the day. I work 40+ hrs a week with his at work with me. I am EXHAUSTED! I don't mind getting up once or twice at night but 4-5 times is a little much. Any advice would be appreciated.

I have trouble getting my sons to stay asleep.I have 3 sons, none of them were ever really big on sleeping. My youngest is 14 months and the middle one is 23 months, they both wake up on average 2 times a night each, they begin their morning between 5:30 and 6:00 each and everymorning. My 6 year old has also now begun to wake up at 6 as well. They only nap for an hour and a half during the day,i put them to bed at 8:00pm every night. I read all about the fact that babies need a schedule, and beleive me they have one. Supper ,bath,story bed. I have tried everything, even letting them cry. But one always wakes up the other one. Anyone have any suggestions. I am all ears and looking for a good nights sleep.

My son is just about 6 1/2 months and he still wakes up once a night for a feeding! He is a big boy and eats quite a bit! He isnt fat just really long 30inches and 20lbs 3 1/2oz so he needs the extra nutrients! For those fo you who are having troubles with your child waking up at night only once you should feel lucky! And sometimes babies just need the extra food because they are growing ...dont forget in the first year they do a ton of growing and sometimes although rough on us they need the food!

Some of the moms on this site need to re-read what they've written. Many moms seem to have trained their babies to expect multiple feeding, all-night playtime, etc. So why should the babies (over 6 months of age - under 6 months they may still need a feeding or two) want anything different?? Watch your baby for sleep cues and set a nap and sleep schedule...and then set your teeth, because there's going to be some protest crying - from both mom and baby. However, it is not "cruel" to let a baby learn how to fall asleep on his own. It is much more destructive to deprive your child of this very important skill!

I had earlier read somewhere that babies do not normally wake up at night post 3 months...i was looking forward to that stage but after that stage passed and my baby still showed no signs of a full night's sleep, I just thanked God that my baby was giving me a chance to hold, feed and hug him during the night. This holds even more imporatance today when my baby is 7 months and i have started full-time work which gives me only about one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening before he goes to sleep to play and interact with him. I think this is the only stage our kids really need us and the onece chance that we will get to reciprocate. After a few years priorities will change and no matter how mcuh you would want to stay by his/her side, they would not want it. So young mothers, don't fret and enjoy your little brats!!!!!!

I have the same problem as Iyer above. My "soon-to-be-1" baby wakes up quite a lots of time during the night and won't sleep unless she is breast-fed. The problem aggravated recently when I moved to London. To get her to stop taking breast feed, we started picking her up in our lap and then putting her back to sleep. Now-a-days she has started crying more loudly and won't sleep unless she is fed. She sleeps near me - so feeling unsecure also should not be a problem. Any solutions?

My baby was waking up to 5 times a night from 4 months. He always ended up in the bed from about 9.30. The only advice any health visitor gave me was to do controlled crying or let him cry it out. I was horrified at the thought of leaving a baby alone crying in the dark, although I came close to doing it as me and my husband nearly reached the end of our tether. Luckily I found a book called 'The no cry sleep solution'. It was such a relief to read about other mothers in much worse situations (babies waking every hour at 1 year old!). I followed the instructions in the book and have to say it was hard - I moved a camp bed next to my babies cot and slept next to him for about 3 weeks, so that i was there for him straight away when he woke. The book teaches how to withdraw your support gradually so that eventually the baby goes back to sleep themselves. My baby only cried for a bit the first night when i didnt lift him out of the cot, but i was there to comfort him so knew he wasnt frightened. after three weeks he was sleeping through and i moved out. he sleeps through now most of the time, but if he is teething or has a cold he will wake in the night. because i know that there is a cause if he wakes it means i am a lot more patient and always get him out of his cot and comfort him. as soon as the spell of teething has passed he goes back to sleeping through. i am proud that i have never left him to cry, and hope that other mothers who feel uncomfortable with controlled crying will get some hope from the fact that there are other solutions.

Our 3 month old is breast feeding and also on 3 ounces of formula. She feeds every three hours during the day but sleeps about 4 to 5 hours during the night. Our problem is not being able to lay her back down right away due to reflux. This poses a delay and has us losing even more sleep than usual. Any thought?

My son is just over four months old. He wakes frequently during the night and will only fall back to sleep with a breast feed. We are considering the controlled crying method. I have just ordered Tracy Hogg's book "the secrets of the baby whisperer". Has anyone tried and succeded with her method?

MY 11month old son does not sleep during the day but also wakes numerous times during the night.Unfortunately we have got into all the wrong habits like rocking him to sleep and giving a night time feed. We have also tried letting him cry it out- this is failing dismally.Also the baby whisperer advises that the cry it out technique is extremely wrong. Any information on what we really should be doing would be gratefully recieved. Last night i was awake from 3am until 6am. HELP!!!!

My daughter is 7 months old now, and wakes 4-5 days out of the week at night. She will wake up usually only once, but she wakes screaming. She dosen't want a bottle or anything, just to be picked up and rocked. We rock her back to sleep and she usually is fine the rest of the night. We have not idea why she does this or if we can change it. We tried let her cry and that didn't work. She just got wound up and screamed alot. So, much so it took us 45 minutes to calm her again. It's easier to just get up and it feels right, BUT its hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. We keep wondering if she will still be doing this at 5. UGH.

My son is 7 months old and he is just now learning to sleep through the night. I tried the "crying it out method" but it did not work. I just put him on a schedule (meals and naps the same time every day, and the same bedtime routine) and he started to adjust 4 days. All babies are different, but it will get better.

My six month old wakes frequently during the night and the only thing that has been working is to bring him to my bed. I have done a lot of research and although it sounds like it is still protested the "Ferber" method is what I am going to try. It isn't suggesting crying it out it is a program that goes in intervals so the baby doesn't feel abandoned because you are going in there just not immediately and not constantly picking the child up out of their crib. We'll see if it works, I sure hope so because sleep is so important for children I don't care if I get any but my baby needs his :)

I think crying it out feels cruel but all of the books say to do so and I know that I didn't do this with my son who was my first child and he is four and still sleeps with us and wakes up if he's not in our bed. Now with my five month old I am trying that method of crying it out. I am surprised by how many people are saying this is "cruel". It's not cruel if you need time for yourself, time with your spouse and you know your child is exhausted and needs to rest. Telling them you love them, rubbing them back a bit, kissing them, will help her know she loves you.

My mom told me about the water trick, and it worked after 3 nights with my 1 month old son. He increased his milk intake during the day and slept through the night after that. Bliss.

I have tried to put my baby down and ingnor her crying, but she will go on for hours in the middle of the night crying for someone to pick her up. When she is picked up she almost instantly falls asleep in my arms. But, when trying to put her down again she automaticly wakes up when she reaches the mattress. what should I do???

I was horrified to read that you advocate letting the baby "cry it out". The baby will not "learn" to sleep through the n9ight (although he/she wi;ll eventually do so when you ignore their cries). What the baby will learn is that her parents are not there when she needs them.

Your opinion that baby should be sleeping through thte night at six months is inaccurate and misleading. Every baby is different so to try and set a standard for all babies is nonsensical. Leaving a baby to cry is cruel and psychologocal damaging because they will learn their needs are unimportant. The greatest gift you can give your baby is to let her/him know that you are there for them always.

We started the same routine for our second child as we did for our first. Give them those first 2 (zombie) weeks to adjust to being in the big wide world. Then you must begin the same routine every night. Dinner, bath and bed. You must do it within the same time every evening. It takes them a few nights but in the end they get the idea. We have stuck to this routine since our daughter was born in 2000. Now we have our 6 month old boy in bed at 6.30pm every night and our daughter in bed at 7.30pm. That leaves us some special time to ourselves. Heaven!!!!

I think letting your baby "cry it out" for long periods of time is cruel. If you have the power to soothe your baby, whether it means staying up at night a little longer or getting out of bed to pick him up to show him you care, why would you want him to cry and feel a sense of desparation? Babies are just that..babies and they need constant love and care. To let him cry it out will make your baby feel like he is left all alone and helpless and that is just cruel. The best thing to do is not to let your baby take long naps during the day. If he normally takes a one hour nap, wake him after 30 mins and play with him or take a stroll. Keep your baby active during the day and stimulate his brain with games and toys, and he will get tired at night because of all the stimulation. Not only will your baby get smarter, but you will get more sleep at night to if you spend the time stimulating him during the day.

My baby slept throught the night at 6 weeks, 12 hours a night, then, at 4 1/2 months, she started waking 2 times a night again, and the only thing that will get her back to sleep is feeding her. I have tried and tried to let her cry, but, she won't stop and I have 3 other kids that I don't want her to wake up. I am my wit's end trying to get her to sleep all night again. She will be 6 months old in 1 week.

Hey hey hey people! Want some great advice from a little bird? There is a saying that a child needs just THREE DAYS to change his habits. The sooner the better. So try to put your kid in his cot the first day (start it from Thursday so that at the end of third day you will have weekend to take rest) during bedtime and draw the curtains and leave the room. He would at first get a bit confused and then cry but mind you that will be a cry of protest that no one is there to pat him or cradle him to sleep! After a while he might either stop crying and go to sleep or go on crying for another hour or so... but control yourself by not showing your face to him. Maybe if he is persistant then go and soothe him for a while to go to sleep by putting your hand on his body and rubbing it gently on him. Next, get ready for the second day, allow him to crib and protest again during night...but again don't try to enter his room. I know its is going to be really hard...I'm telling you all this by experience! Be ready for the final third day when your kid will finally realise that you mean it when you put him to bed and draw the curtains and leave the room - Sleep time folks!;o))

My wife and I had somewhat of the same problem, sleeping through the day and not at night. As much as you can, try to keep your child awake during the day. No matter how much he fusses, keep him a wake. At times, he will need to take naps, but only naps. Over time, he will adjust to sleeping at night because he's not getting his sleep during the day. I hope this helps.

Try to keep baby up during the day by taking outings, controlled crying works if you can handle it or if hes wanting to be fed feed him dinner before bedtime and only offer water to him at night, it worked with my son.

My son is 7 months old and just refuses to sleep at night. He sleeps almost throughout the day. Me and my husband take turns to entertain him or try to make him sleep at night.
