Slowly starting HIIT on a stationary bike
Hi. So I began with five minutes on my stationary bike and worked up to fifteen. I want to gradually increase intensity. The bike displays speed as it scans through, and it usually says about 12 mph. I get bored and go slower sometimes, or for a good song I might hit 14 mph. I have an HIIT timer which I set for a 30 sec…

35 F, question re sag
So I'm 35 now and my breasts are on the bigger side. At 25, things were great. At 35, sag is a real issue (and it doesnt help that I have to enter the dating game again at this age). Will chest, back, core specific exercises + cardio and weight loss through dieting help the sag issue? Are there any other exercises or…

What Was Your Work Out Today?
I am often going on to Instagram to get work out ideas, as I follow a few trainers who post videos. I work out 5-6 days a week and like to mix it up & try new things.

Hyperflexability & Working Out... ideas?

Tai chi
I went on YouTube and found one to do. I'll tell you what, it was hard to do for 30 min. My heart rate did go up, I was sweating, and felt like I got a great workout. At 58 yrs old and on the fluffy side. It also did not hurt my back or knees. I think many are underestimating Tai Chi as full body workouts and should be…

Is there a…
